Mazda of Lodi are $#!+ heads
ok so my engine flooded...got it towed to mazda of lodi, then i found out that my warranty expired last month...i have an 04 6spd. they said that my starter is pretty much fried and my battery wont take charge so they said that they had to replace the battery, starter, and get new plugs. freaken bastards charged me close to $1500 for it. fine...that was ok
then i started talking with one of the sales people about the new MS3 and started BSing how much it would cost for the car if i traded my 8...the MS3 with Navi costs about 26k...then he tells me a BS that its in high demand and that they have to add an extra 2k on top of that cause its brand new and on demand...no joke i laughed at his face and told him thats biggest BS i've ever heard...but ok, fine...but what really ticked me off was that they appraised my car for the trade in and told me 8k for it.....thats when i went hysterically laughing and told him "YOU F***ING INSANE?!" my car's an 04 fully loaded minus the navi and with only 34.5k miles on it...i know for a fact i can get atleast 13k for the trade in...
what have i learned? NEVER go to mazda of lodi...i much rather drive all the way to wayne

yea i think im gonna lease the ms3 but i still need a good deal on it...im just planning on giving my 8 to my parents so they can trade it in for a nice car themselves...just a little something i can do for all they've done

haha andres -_-;; i'm assuming you went there cuz it's the closest... wait no, isn't there one in englewood cliffs??
but anyways, yea it's the worst local mazda dealer if you live in the united states =P
wayne mazda is a 25 min-30 min drive but worth it for the customer service and i noticed ramsey mazda is about a 20 min drive but they have the best prices on parts and labor. haven't got anything done by ramsey yet but their pricing is the best.
i need a new plastic piece for under the car that protects the a/c condenser... lodi wanted $699(installed), wayne mazda wanted $365(installed) and ramsey wanted $151 + 45 for install.
lodi... go kill yourself

dam sorry to hear that bro yeah man I bought my 08 GT 6pd from Wayne and they HOOKED ME Up...gave me full value on my trade in (06 Scion TC m/t) and gave me a hella of a deal on the 8.
GO TO WAYNE....actually if my gf decides to buy a new car in the near future I know for a fact they gonna hook her up for me as well...already started negotiating w/them so she is excited but is gonna wait to see whats what first. She is almost done payingoff her 03 civic.

yea true both the wrx and ms3 are pretty fast which i like but as u said the handling sucks and not only that it looks like crap...even my dad was saying it looks like crap...and i'd jump on the ms3 only if it wasnt FWD...i want AWD or RWD
#20
hahahaha, get the wrx. u always liked that car. and the weather is gonna get nice again so u can always zoom around on ur sexy bike.
let me know when ur planning to get another car, i'll help u research.
