Before I ever went into the dealer, I called them to run my credit and make sure I qualified for the lowest promo rate from Mazda. It was slightly lower than what my bank could offer, so I thought I'd check it out. They ran it, called me back and said I qualify for the promo rate. Great! Went in, found the 2014 GT FWD in Pearl White that I had scoped out online, negotiated a deal ($200 over MSRP, including doc fees and 3 oil changes and TT&L). Went to the finance guy to finalize the deal, and he told me the best Mazda Finance would qualify me for is 6%. I told him we would have never come in if I hadn't been assured of the promo rate before hand. He said the sales guy didn't really know and was "just guessing." This pissed my wife off really bad, and she demanded the paperwork back and told them they didn't have a deal any longer, even if they COULD offer the rate they originally offered through a different lender. They tried to keep us there, but she wasn't having any of it. They offered to loan us the vehicle for the weekend until they could contact a few local credit unions, but she wasn't interested.
Unfortunately, they're the only dealer in town with a 2014 GT on the lot, so I'm out of luck for now. We were so damn close. I'm pretty bent out of shape.
