I will never purchase another vehicle from Flood Mazda. While being exceptionally friendly (and my mazda owning friends say they have an excellent service shop), their sales department is entirely dishonest.
The paperwork they pulled out was *completely* different from the agreed upon pricing and financing. They were trying to finance $1,600 more than what should have been at our agreed to price. They finally came down on that so that I was "only" paying $300 more than the agreed to price, but in the process had to ditch the 0.9% financing I had qualified for a slightly higher rate. The financing and total price including tax, title, and registration fees was part of the original agreement with the salesman setup days in advance.
In the end, I paid just a hair more for the car. They blamed it on an inexperienced salesman, but I find that rather difficult to believe. I'm almost positive this was their intended sales tactic in this case.
If you buy here, make sure all agreements are in writing before committing, and double check all the paperwork before signing. They certainly didn't go out of their way to highlight the $1,600 price increase they tried to sneak in there.
