2016 CX-5 Lease Buyout / Service Contract

j5cents said:

This is why I lease. My previous car was a hyundai santa fe sport 2.0TU and a few weeks before I got my CX-5 it started throwing an error light having to do with the front radar which controls auto E-brake and dynamic cruise control...the dealer couldn't fix and ordered a new part...which cost $2500! Thankfully warranty covered it; but if it didn't, I think I would've been pulling some fuses. The Service Manager says everyone should buy a service contract if they are holding on to a car past the warranty...especially with today's tech heavy cars.

When we bought my wife's new car, the finance manager held up a circuit board and said "this part costs $3100, and there are ten just like it in the car". And then she said "one out of every six cars have a failure like this."

Her message was: You can pay me now, or you can pay me later. We said later maybe... but not now for sure.

Has anybody out there ever have a circuit board failure in a Mazda?

I hate the finance pitch. I would have asked, *Are you saying that you*re selling me a piece of junk?* Makes them back pedal everytime.

Same. If I had a dealer tell me that, I'd leave.
"I'll go buy something where that happens 1 in 20 times. Bye".

(Ah, who am I kidding. Only twice in my life have I had the perfect comeback at the perfect time. I always think of the perfect thing I should have said later... lol)
