El Dorado Mazda
Dealership Sales Review
If I could give zero stars, I would. Do not under any circumstances shop at this dealership. We test drove several models and decided on a CX-5, but the specific trim and color we wanted wasn't in stock. Before we left the dealership the salesman offered an overnight demo of the vehicle, which sounded great. However, when we called to take him up on the offer, the story changed. We were told we had to agree to purchase terms before we could take the demo. In all my years of vehicle buying, I've never encountered that demand for a longer test drive. I knew then we were dealing with a less-than-awesome sales manager, but the salesman was nice so we told him to get the car we wanted, and that we'd be in the next day to buy it. He said that was no problem, but that he had the same car but with more options that he'd sell us for the same price. We declined because we knew it would still cost more than the model we actually wanted after the deal was made. The next day, we arrived at the dealership to buy the correct vehicle and were told they hadn't gotten it after all, again because we hadn't agreed to purchase terms. When the salesperson called us *the same morning* he made no mention that locating the car would require us to agree to purchase terms. But, he said, he still had that higher-spec model and he could make us a great deal. I found it odd they were trying so hard to push us into that upgraded model. More on that in a minute. Here is a summarized set of things they actually said to me: "Well, we didn't get the car we told you yesterday we'd get because you haven't agreed to purchase terms yet." "But we have one with more options we'll sell you for the same money. It's a great deal! Oh, and, um...it's hail damaged." As I storm out of the building... "Why are you being rude and leaving like that? We'll repair the hail damage..." As we (furiously) walked to our car for a fast escape away from [non-permissible content removed], we passed the "great deal but hail-damaged" vehicle. It was beat all to hell. Nearly every panel had golf-ball sized dents, some of which were in spots that would have required panels to be replaced. That was the vehicle they were doing everything they could to talk us into purchasing. Stay away from this god-awful dealership. They give all honest car salesmen a bad name. Please save yourself and anyone you know from being subjected to the worst customer service in North Texas.
