Sport Mazda Orlando

Richard R worked with me for weeks, patiently, politely and professionally, via phone, text/picture messages, and email -- before I decided to visit in person. Thanks, Richard! I finally met Richard in-person to look at the Mazda 3 iSport and review financing options, especially the advertised lease special. Wasn't planning to get a car right away (didn't have the lease special down payment and couldn't afford a traditional 60-72 month loan). Richard gave me a great presentation and test drive experience. He even helped me move things from my rental car and return the rental car to the airport, and gave me toll money when I panicked without cash at the toll booth! Regarding finance options, Josh S checked my credit (over 750) and was able to qualify me for a lease special with less than a $100 down payment and less than a $300 monthly lease payment, for 10,000 miles per year for 3 years (36 months). I was speechless and dumbfounded and felt like Santa Claus gave me a surprise Christmas gift. I figured there was a "catch" but was unable to find one. I'll be charged .15 per mile for more than 30,000 miles after 36 months, plus a $300 "disposition fee" to return the car if I don't buy it. I'll also be charged for "excess wear and tear" if I don't buy the car at the end of the lease. This is normal lease stuff, I believe (my first time leasing). I'm 58-years-old, semi-retired, and working from home -- so a low-mileage/low-cost lease like this was a good fit. This is my first Mazda and I'm very impressed with the car, the dealership staff and organization, and the Mazda corporation's global commitment to deliver an affordable car that performs well, looks great, and saves gas (and the environment) too! I learned about the Mazda 3 via various car reviews and websites available on the Internet. The sportmazdaorlando website is outstanding, in my opinion, and is the reason I contacted this Mazda dealership first (via its website). The entire staff at Mazda were friendly, courteous, helpful, and willing to answer questions. I felt like I was working with a "team" or "family", rather than just 1-2 separate individuals. This is a great way to do business.
