This is actually the location for Dennis Dillon Mazda and a few other functions of their rather spread out dealership. Clarification, this review is for a purchase made on September 2011.
I went in having done a lot of research and knew exactly what I wanted and what it was worth so I didn't get taken for a ride like last time at another stealership. These guys do try to push some BS products like "theftmark" and undercoating and window protector, just say no to all those, they may make a small fuss but not too much. If they offer to lower the vehicle price to make the item "free" after they already included the item in the price say "no, take it off all together" or you end up paying for something you thought you were getting for free, this is the only thing that got me.
They go very fast through the numbers up front and it can be confusing (I think this is on purpose), so bring a wing-man who is number savvy who can be the annoying must follow every detail person for you. You can get a fair price here and they didn t try to inflate the price too badly during the deal, I ended up paying fair market value, use this equation to find fair value (and this is what I paid).
Fair Market Value = Dealer Invoice + 0.15 * (MSRP Dealer Invoice)
The finance salesperson (and they are that, salesmen) tried to sell more services that aren t really useful like undercoating (a common dealer trick), just say no to all and move along thru.
You still need to inspect the car do a carfax and take all the usual precautions, and you should still try to get financing on your own first to use as leverage.
They aren't a high pressure dealer so it s not hard to just say "let me think about it and come back", try saying that at a lot of other places!
So overall they do use the standard dealer tricks but if you come prepared you can get a fair deal here. Team Mazda used this review to discredit my review of their store, if choosing between Team And Dennis Dillon, be ware Team does not treat customers well as evidenced by their response, go with Dennis Dillon.
