I won't own a Mazda today or ever because of the experience trying to get a first year Miata for my wife who was in love with the little car....
I had two "hustled" or "auctioned" out from under me by dealers who took my order and deposit...(I accepted the over MSRP markup).
I assume some other customer out bid me (under the table or in a coat room) the dealer did not bother to tell me that I could have my deposit back the deal was off until some 12 weeks later.........
I went out of town a long way and re ordered, this time telling the new sales staff if they pulled that crap there would be trouble. It took them 4 weeks to send me a letter that they could not honor my order and cut me a check for the deposit....I assume I was again the victim of some new customer offering more $$$ then I had agreed to pay.
No, I never got a lawyer would have been a waste of time and money ...Mazda lost a customer for life PERIOD Yes, I did let corporate HQs know that they are off my radar forever
PAG, IB, or the local approved dealers better NOT play any games...
I can tolerate the expected tack on BS like dealer prep, lot tax, advolerum fees, documents fees and these nickle and dime games....
But if they try to option in crap I don't want or need like zeebart(sp?) clear-coat protected, upholstery guard etc etc...then we will have a problem....
Lord help PAG if there is any MSRP games!...
I can tolerate some "adjustment" if there is a significant import law change or Euro to Dollar shift that causes the MSRP to change a few bucks.... but any $2000~$3000 "Market Adjustment due to demand" crap is going to cause PAG a LOT of bad press!
