Well, IIRC the total of the interest on my loan is close to $2000, so my story is almost as bad as your Miata story!
 
Not a bad idea about writing them for some extra love, what can it hurt? I will do it this weekend. Wish me luck!

Good luck. I'm off to get some rubber mats and a cargo net!

They answered very quickly, to say that they have no 0% promotion for the OBS, and never had 60-month 2.9% financing either. I know that's not true, because I got 2.9% 60-month financing! They refer me to the Subaru website, which indeed does NOT list such a promotion for the OBS, but I'm sure I didn't remember the TV ad wrong. What's up here?

No idea...
 
I went to the Mazda dealer with mine, and got the run-around.
 
First, they would not accept a 10% coupon for their web site for the accessories because they said you could not combine offers. I thought a gift card was same as cash, so I disagreed with the manager but he would not budge.
 
Then he says I have 2 cards, $50 each, and can only use one per day. Which means I have to go back a 2nd time to his store.
 
Here I give a Mazda dealer a chance to prove they offer good service and they screw me over left and right. I'm taking the other card to another dealer. In fact I only went ahead with half of my purchase because they had a lower price on some items (higher on others).
 
Every time I give a dealer a chance to do something good, I end up reminding myself of 2 things:
 
1). I would much, MUCH rather DIY, do it myself
2). When OE parts are needed, I much prefer to order them on-line, save myself the hassle of local dealer parts counters

Well my dealer just added insult to injury by sending me a letter saying they were very sorry, but they needed another $62 from me for DMV fees, because California DMV fee schedules are so topsy-turvy right now that they weren't able to calculate it correctly.
 
I felt like writing them back and asking them if they couldn't just find $62 more in the deal to just pay the fees themselves, rather than bothering me. But I want my plates, so I sent the check.
