There are better ways of saying that.

You could simply have asked if anybody had any good experience with dealers in your area. Would probably be more constructive.

I personally wouldn't pay 4500 over MSRP. I don't think those in Hawaaii have much choice from what I hear. Most of us in the continental US do. You can get one from my dealer for MSRP, but most of their unclaimed units are GT packages.

What I suggest you do is write an email or call Mazda.

Hmmm....an 18 year old with obviously a stellar vocabulary walks in to a dealership and they want to charge him $4500 over MSRP...what a shock!!!

Why don't you show your mother how you write in public?

She would not be happy.

Hey...lets not pick on the guy. Just ask him to use more politically correct words and try to be more eloquent.

eclps0, if you feel like they were being dicks, for lack of a better word, discuss the matter in a calm manner or leave and take your business elsewhere.

Girls, please!

Although eclps0 didn't put it in the most eloquent manner, he has a genuite gripe and I think the thread can be put back on track...

I've added a sensible title for the thread and "beeped out" the word that some people seem to be offended by... lets try and have a sensible discussion about it...

Angry Gouging is going to become more common

I hate dealer gouging, but it is elementary economics - supply and demand. How much are you willing to pay, and how patient can you be?

If you're diligent, and fortunate, you should be able to find a dealer that will sell you the car at MSRP. You may not be able to have the very 1st one in town, and you might not get it equipped exactly as you want. Otherwise, you'll probably end up paying more than MSRP.

Check the Mazda Site for other dealers near you. If you can save yourself even $1000-$1500 by travelling to a dealer a few hundred miles away, it's likely worth it. It would be to me. To save $4500 - I would drive cross-country

My virgin ears... Yes s**t is one of the 7 curse words that should not be said in public so in the future I would suggest using "bullcrap" instead. Sure it doesn't have that ring but the meaning is essentially the same and it's legal to say on television and radio.

Actually....... Well said!... Infact I concidered asking people to just chill,.. but it looked like the point of the message was going to be lost and the whole thing degenerate into a flame war, which IMHO is far worse, hopefully we can try to avoid that in future.

I would ask people to be a little tolerant of a one off indiscression... if you feel that somthing needs to be said then lets not ALL pitch in and make a scene... Thanks.

Congrats on getting a good deal on your 8. Just remember to enjoy it for those of us who are not able to purchase one at this time.

I agree 100% because most of you would have made the exact same comment if you were in that situation. It's only natural.
