Why are Mazda Dealers so agressive?
I recently test drove a new RX8 and loved it, great handling and great interior. The dealer was so agressive that i was totally turned off to the whole experience. Has anyone else had the same experience.

It's the nature of the beast... some dealerships are aggressive, some are laid back. I usually deal with the Fleet Manager/Internet sales... since they always get the inquiries, there is no RUSH to buy immediately.

O.E. is right. My personal feeling is that you should never go onto the dealer's turf until the deal has been struck and all you're doing is signing the contract. It's 2004, and it's way simpler to get the deal you want remotely and not have to be subjected to the sales games many dealers still insist on playing if you walk in off the street.

This is a very long series of articles but it really goes into detail in the tricks that some dealers use.

In most areas of the country, cars are selling within $1k of invoice and you can usually get a lot better than that. If there are other dealers where you live, call them and negotiate over the phone. Only go in to the dealer when you have agreed on a price.

If your ready to buy, the aggressive attitude is a good sign. The dealer is presently motivated to sell cars. Give the salesman your offer and see what happens. Overly passive salesman that have a take it or leave it attitude are usually a bad sign if your looking for a good price. I have had salesman call me at home and at work for days after a test drive. I had to tell one guy that I bought another car before he would leave me alone.
