Then after wasting my time (many hours in their dealership, and over a week of waiting for my car) they couldn't come through on their end of the deal. They still tried assuring me that everything was okay and tried avoiding me… I think when this happens, their tactic is to delay delay delay… waste peoples time… so that after a few weeks, customers just give in and say "okay, I'll settle for a different trim/colour". Thankfully I stayed on them and kept e-mailing/calling them everyday so they couldn't give me too much of a run around.
They also try to nickel and dime you. We agreed that all-weather floor mats would be included. Then when the contract came, it wasn't on the contract. I questioned the manager about it and he said after re-calculating everything he wouldn't be able to include them. He didn't even say it to my face either. What a scumbag. He tried pulling a quick one on me, hoping I wouldn't notice that it wasn't on the contract. So I said I was going to walk out, just on principle alone. Then he quickly changed again and said he will include the floor mats as we originally agreed. It was pathetic. The only reason I continued after that was because we already invested so much time there. The managers at Erin Mills Mazda have no shame. They will try to screw you over if it means a few extra dollars in their pocket.
There are other Mazda dealerships in the area. I strongly recommend the Achilles Mazda dealership in Milton. It might be 10-15 minutes further away, but it will save you a lot of time and hassle in the long run. And you'll actually feel good about buying a car from Achilles Mazda.
