Roger Beasley Mazda Georgetown

I was shopping online for a Mazda3 HB in August of 2004 and found what I was looking for at Premier. I made a Saturday appointment w/Jesse Samples, the online sales manager and my wife and I took a drive up there. Jesse was extremely nice and helpful. He seemed to know the car pretty well and allowed us to take it out for an extended test drive by ourselves. We finally reached an agreement, signed the papers and we were getting ready to leave when Jesse said that they would have the car ready in about 2 hrs. So we waited, and sure enough we took it home that same day. Several things about the deal that stick in my craw to this day though: 1) I should have gotten a better deal. Though I had been shopping for some time and had tried to do my research there were still a few things that they were able to take financial advantage of. That's my fault, because they are in business to sell cars and make as much as they can on them. 2) I am dissappointed and was actually insulted by their first offer on my trade-in!! I was able to negotiate them up a little bit, but they knew they had me and didn't budge too far. 3) Be careful of those dealer add-ons. I refused most of them, but they did talk me into a tire/wheel insurance contract that has gone completely unused. 4) Their financing process was quick... VERY quick and has so far worked out well for me, but I do have very good credit. They did offer me a very competitive APR, one that I would not have been able to beat from my bank or credit union, Remember that dealer financing means that a dealer will make more $$$ on the overall deal.
