I am looking for a dealer in this area to buy my car from, any ideas? Roseville was as rude as hell, and Great Valley in Sac lied twice to me about the car...

 

my husband is at the roseville store and bet you didn't talk to him (he's great ) and instead got one of his shady co-workers.

 

is it possible to be shady and sleazy at the same time... yeah, i think so... Would you mind giving me his name? If i end up going back out there it would be nice to talk to someone i know. (kinda)

 

sent you a pm

 

First place I went to get my 8 was on Florin road... They sucked. I got a good deal in Stockton though from Mark Lily. Super cool guy. Call him up and tell him Ryan sent you, he'll hook you up.

 

Both Florin Road Mazda & Great Valley suck ***!!!! I have had several problems with each one.I never been to Roseville but a co-worker of mine has always bought her cars from there without issue

 

Sorry this is a little late... My excuse: I didn't own my RX-8 until five days ago!

I had an awesome buying experience at Auto West Mazda Subaru at the Roseville Auto Mall. I searched inventories on the MazdaUSA.com Web site, then when I found the one I wanted, I went directly to found the car on the dealer's own Web site and used their "Contact Us for Internet Price" feature. Within minutes I had the information I had requested. They responded with a price quote of $0 over invoice for the car -- their profit consisted only of the 2% dealer holdback (no incentives), and maybe a factory financing kickback (I don't know for sure). They have two Internet sales reps -- mine was Eric and he was awesome -- so much so that I wrote a glowing kudo letter.

My only complaint about the purchase experience was the long wait to get into the finance office, and the fact that they only offered me an appalling $100 for my trade-in. I kept my old car and planned to sell it for at least $500 to $600 privately. Yesterday I cleaned it up a bit and, much to my delight, my neighbor across the street bought the car for my asking price of $1,200! :D

Bottom line: Auto West Mazda Subaru rules if you make your deal via the Internet and if you aren't at their mercy on a trade-in. Otherwise, they might play games like everyone else.

 

I emailed a bunch of Sacramento dealers and got prices from them, when I actually called I had trouble getting the same price as was quoted and the inventory suddenly changed so the car I negotiated a price for was no longer available. Royal Motors in San Fran gave me a very good deal for the fully loaded silver 04 rx8 and it was straight forward. I showed up, showed them my email of price and car, test drove, sat down and bought the car. No haggle on price. I think Kevin was the name of the sales rep. Hope this helps.

 

i just call the tracy store (by the mall) and the guy i spoke with was such a nice person.
give them a call or write them an email and you will get a response sooner than you think. at least that has been my experience.
just my .02

 

I just got my RX-8 at the Mazda in Oakland last week. They were very honest and helpful. Ask for John.

 

I bought mine from Senator Mazda. They e-mailed me the price, and I got the same price at the dealership. They were very friendly - not all that knowledgable about the car, but very friendly.

I will NEVER do business with Mazda of Stockton. I have had too many bad experiences with them. So much so I still want to write a letter to the owner.
