When i bought my 2010 Mazda 3 CPO it had a bent rim that i asked to be replaced before buying. After i picked it up i realized they had just moved it to the rear. They were fighting me on replacing it until i told them i was contacting Mazda Corporate to see what they would have to say...

haha the same model, same year, same shake.... but in michigan. They dont do the inspection. I guarantee the sales manager drives the car around the block if no idiot lights come on its given a quick cleaning and put on the lot. I had the salesman send the one i was looking at over to the...

I came very close to buying the same car last month but noticed the same issue and walked away. I would tell the dealership this is CPO and any issue like this should have shown up in the inspection (that is never actually done). They will fight you all the way but hopefully will make it right.

I just lied and used your quote to the dealership that offered me the touring at over 30k out the door. They said that is a ridiculous price and there must be something wrong with the car. HAHA. Moving on from this dealership.

i did it when i bought my CPO Mazda 3. It may be a little different when buying new, but i basically came back with an out the door number that was less than what i wanted to spend. I said this is what im comfortable at what do you think. Over the course of a week and 2 or 3 more emails we...

So i got another quote back. A Touring with the Preferred Package for a little over 30k out the door. Kind of ridiculous considering the new models will be hitting lots very soon. Ive got Hyundai dealerships giving me insanely low prices for Tuscons they wanna move out before the refresh (like...

They dont make you. I actually called Costco to ask this and they have no policy regarding emailing instead. A few of the dealerships I contacted are 4+ hours away. I explained when I contacted them that I live a long distance but if they offer me a good number via email I'll make the drive. I...

I decided to check out Costco pricing for a CX-5. The closest dealership that participates is a couple hours away. The Costco price for a Touring with Preferred Equipment package was $28,700 before taxes/fees. There is one on a lot close to me that is identical for $28,300 before...

I believe I read that the 2019s should start appearing on lots next month. Would y'all anticipate an instant price drop on the 18s? Or is this wishful thinking on my part.

That's interesting I hadn't heard that. Have you gotten used to have a tablet stuck to your dash?

this one sounded like standing next to a lawnmower it wasnt just a cold start.

an update on this... they balanced the wheels again which really annoyed the service manager who seemed to think driving in a paint can mixer above 70mph is normal. Is between 8-12 wheel weights on every wheel normal? so i drove the 2 hours again to drive it (i live in the middle of nowhere)...

Hi, first of all i hope im posting this in the right section. Test drove a 2016 CX-5 GT which i really want to go along side my 3. The dealership only has 2 certified ones on the lot. The one i want seems to have a vibration at highway speed 60-70mph but it is only intermittent and really felt...
