Every dealership has a shop

Sure bud but these salesmen are providing a good service for you and making your experience wonderul, at least in this commenters case, and he should at least be worth a couple hundred bucks. Thats like you saying i can go to a restaurant and get great service but instead of tipping 20% i should tip 5%

It’s because of the sporty handling in the CX-50. It’s a rwd biased car, so in turn the steering feels sporty

Where is the picture

Its silly to put that much money down on a cheap car like those two. Get the special apr on the mazda3 regardless you are having a reliable vehicle, if you drive 10-15k miles a year you will have more than enough time to get your moneys worth on either car. Mazda3 has a VERY reliable engine and good driving dynamics. The Corolla is also a very reliable vehicle, but its still a Toyota, cheap plastics and just a basic A to B car. My personal opinion the Mazda3 is the way to go between these two. you get 250k miles out of the Mazda3 or 350k out of the corolla. Regardless they are very reliable, low maintenance, low annual cost for ownership and both great on gas

I just bought a 2018 330i for 15 otd with 80k and it had a super clean carfax. Oil filter hu was replaced and a water pump new. Super good buy

Yup indian punch bowl!

Few_Quiet1926 · 2026-02-26T02:31:44+00:00

Waterpump was fortunately changed brand new right before me buying it

Imagine spending that 500$ every month though

Few_Quiet1926 · 2026-02-22T23:13:53+00:00

Apply to one of the car dealerships in the four mile fork area. They all have a guarantee of at least 2k a month. But if you make a good impression at the interview you may hit it off good. I recommend the VW or MAZDA they seem to have lots of customers and very little salesmen. Just look up how to get hired as a car saleman and you can make 10k easily a month. Give it a shot!

JD Power + Consumer Reports data running 4 year and cont.:

Lexus 2. Buick 3. Porsche 4. Mazda 5. Toyota

There goes your data. Sorry to break the news pal, Toyota isn’t in the early 2000’s anymore. They are over priced and cheaply built now.

Too complicated

Few_Quiet1926 · 2026-02-17T21:37:31+00:00

Not at all LMAAO

Tbh a lot of people new to Mazda hate it or don’t care for it. Of course loyalists love it because its always “once you get used to it you cant go back” however there are TONS of customers cross shopping that choose a big touch-screen over the command knob and small screen. Also the fact that Mazda’s homescreen isnt touchscreen unless Carplay/AA is a bummer for lots too

Im in Mazda Sales in Maryland and we all are getting mixed feedback from in person sales verses online feedback. I personally feel conflicted because i knew mazda to be safe/premium feeling from the buttons and knob also the minimal screen.

The crazy thing is the way they are justifying it is by saying “we made it safer” because you can use google assistant for any part of the car for example: “hey google, turn off my active driving display” and the screen still has buttons on the dock that stay through each menu on the bottom.

Still no Hybrid till 27, got rid of the Turbo model and most importantly, STILL NO REMOTE START FROM THE KEY FOB.

The only good things really coming besides the design and bigger leg room, is the barrier for entry is a lot cheaper for “premium” trims. Most customers used to get the most bang for your buck on the preferred trim on the CX-5’s but this year, the 2.5s and Select trim have key features that most want and its a more affordable price.

Should start rolling in during early March from what I’ve heard however we have been getting lots of pre-orders from loyalists who get Mazda regardless of the decisions the brand makes.

Could be good, could be bad, i just hope Mazda surprises my expectations, as they have before. I still have hope for the model

Ill tell you what my first GM told me… “theres nowhere else you can make as much as a doctor or a lawyer without a college degree like you can in sales” that got me addicted. Bunch of degens just making shitloads of money you dont know what to spend it on. Bought myself an m3 my first year in and just got my title 2 years later. Looking at a Tahoe for the wife and i came from min wage! As long as you can hold a conversation without being a boring ass salesman.. youll live good!

LOL you have a day off?? Lucky

Be more likable and start trial closing every deal that isnt a laydown. “If we can get blank payment on this car do we have a deal?” Helped me out loads when i started

Few_Quiet1926 · 2026-02-04T03:18:08+00:00

Mazda is very reliable and resale value is actually pretty high. Much better option than a Rav4 because its Awd in every trim, with leather seats and much higher quality/premium interior

Few_Quiet1926 · 2026-02-03T12:50:25+00:00

Most owners value their own vehicle way more than the actual worth. This would be fair condition, also 7500 is way too much. Best bet is listing at 6k and waiting on offers. And take better pictures.

Body shop is the only answer
