2nd Test Drive in R3 Today....

I went back to my local dealer to test drive the R3 again. They have 3 blues and a red, they need to make a deal on one of them.

So I go in and ask the receptionist if Steve __________ is there.

"No but his partner Dave is here"
"Okay let me speak to Dave".
"Hi Dave I want to test drive that blue R3 again".
"Okay, let me get the keys, be right back"

I meet Dave at the car, we get in and Dave's cell phone rings. I hear Dave say, "Fine, I'll come back in, I'll just let Steve's customer take this car out by himself".

"well sorry about this, have fun, don't wreck it".

YYEEEEEEEEHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a blast, gotta get an R3!

I wouldn't be a happy customer knowing that my new R3 was driven by a bunch of people .

I test drove this same car about a month or more ago, and again today. It has a whopping 31 miles on it. I've probably put 15 on it myself. That tells me there's not a lot of interest in R3's at this dealership. And considering they have 4 on the lot, I would think they would want to deal. Plus there are 2 other Mazda dealers in town and neither of them have R3's.

When I was shopping, I only found 2 '09 blue r3's within 500 miles of where I live, and the closest one - which I bought - had 400 miles on it. I cringe a little when I think about what it went through. I think it will be ok, though.

Yeah, when new cars start racking up miles on the lot, I'd be less likely to buy that one.

R3 = Kick *** car. I've test driven a lot of cars and when I test drove the R3 I was blown away, even having previously owned an 07 RX-8
