For awhile I have been trolling Mazda forums for good reviews for dealerships in my area. I read the recent glowing reviews for Avante Mazda and Gautam on this forum and decided to give them a try. From our first visit to signing the deal, Guatam was friendly, knowledgeable and honest! We never felt any pressure to make the purchase or buy any 'extras' and he always responded to phone calls/emails quickly. We also had a trade in and he did his best to make the numbers work. We ended up with a great deal on a CX-5 AWD GS. I know it is not a Mazda 3, but I thought I would provide feedback to others looking to buy. I would highly recommend Gautam! I hope the pick up next week goes smoothly as well.
