So let me explain the whole thing. (apologize on getting into the details)
Wife and I went into Waldorf Mazda looking at the CX-5 Working with the salesman went smooth (figuring out what trim to test drive and the test drives themselves.) Everything went smooth until pricing and the sales manager getting involved (big surprise *sarcasm*)We did a lot of research on each car before going in, knowing the trade offs and knowing the fair price and what was being offered elsewhere. Pretty much, even with the research we had, he was one of the highest price quotes we've seen and told me that is the absolute best he can do. Needless to say we seemed to be at an impasse after awhile. Oh well, we were willing to just walk out the door and entertain the lower price quotes we had. Though as soon as it became apparent to everyone that we weren't going to buy there at his price, respect was out the door for the sales manager and we were no longer worth his time (or handshake)
Then one thing we noticed before him rushing out of our company, was he tried to tax us on the full amount of the car (we had a trade in, in Maryland, you get taxed after the trade in value). We brought this up and he kept trying to change the subject. So I am beginning to think he purposely is misrepresenting the tax on the sheet. After this long read for you all (and I apologize), is he doing something illegal by misrepresenting the tax to the customer? I feel he probably has done this to more than my wife and I.
P.S. Fast forward to the end of the day, my wife and I got a CX-5 from a different dealership who had a staff that all treated us kindly and we got a price multiple thousands below what the rude manager from Waldorf Mazda said was his best and final offer.
