Well, it's not like they hit me up with a fee. They just told me the TrueCar pricing I had obtained did not qualify for the 0% financing; which it's true this was not specified on the TrueCar quote. So if I wanted the Mazda advertised 0% for August, that Mazda corp would revoke the "dealer...

Using Truecar for a Touring with no options and no paint premiums (white or red), I see MSRP as 25,795, so you are almost $3K below MSRP. If there are no incentives included in your pricing, then this seems like a very good price! (TrueCar shows $23,500 in my area). But if you have loyalty or...
