Update: Looks like there was a miscommunication. I initially inquired about a 2016 model, so they had been quoting prices for 2016 model even though I specifically mentioned 2017 model in the text conversation we were having.

Original:
We agreed on a price for 2017 Mazda 6 through text messages. When I go in to do the paperwork, they offer me the 2016 for that price instead of the 2017. I show the salesman the text conversation I had with internet sales rep, he calls the manager, and the manager refuses to honor it. Manager comes back to me with a quote that is $1200 more than what we agreed on for the 2017 model.

In addition to that, they wasted my time without outright informing me that they would not honor the price. The sales guy came up with an excuse that the stock number I gave them was for 2016 (I did not even give them a stock number). He later pressured me into taking a test drive instead of getting the paperwork ready. The manager introduced himself as Manager for the sister GMC dealership and informed me that the Mazda's manager was conveniently on vacation. After coming back home, I checked their staff page and he is the Mazda sales manager. And the internet sales rep I was initially in touch with did not even offer an apology when I called her out on the bait and switch tactics.
