Can a dealership sue somebody over the breach of contract (the contract was signed by me with words "customer requests his payments to be in 300s" and "deposit refundable if cannot meet terms" .
 
If you did in fact sign that document (which I asked about in post 2601 but you didn't reply...) then it looks like breach. But you can probably get a lawyer (hopefully someone you know that won't charge you) to call them up, tell them how you were pressured into it, what the salesman said about the deposit, and that you'll make this as publicized as you can, and they'll probably back off...

One thing I know, now I definetily going to file complaints with BBB and DMV. "
 
I don't think DMV would even take a complaint like that, but I would complain loudly to Mazda corporate. They might tell the dealer to back off. Expecially if you tell them you still want the car from another place

.. you are out nothing at this time... Just cease communication with this dealer. The chances of them suing you over $2K is somewhere between slim and none.. Even dealers with lawyers on retainer incur costs if they initiate legal proceedings.
 
While I have no legal training or education, I have to believe that no judge is going to enforce any car deal or award damages, when no delivery of said car has taken place. Especially a non-specific sales order that states "payment somewhere in the $300s.. I believe that would be so vague as to be unenforceable..
 
But, that is just a layman's opinion..

I'm looking at a Mazda3 i touring and would like to know how you got the tint on there? What I mean is that it's not an option, that I know of, and was wondering what you think it costs if the dealer did not put it on? My only concern is that I'm 6'3" and would not fit in the car as it has less place, by .3 inches, than my current car. I'll have to test drive one to find out but just wanted to know about your experience and when you bought the car, I'm thinking of going tonight since it's the end of the month and I've been told that if you go at night the dealers are more inclined to make a deal with you because they want to go home as much as you do.
 
Thanks,
 
slaterac.

The - ignore them - may work out great and doesn't cost you anything. If you can handle the stress it would be a good way to go.
 
But if you find yourself in bed at night - wide awake - not able to sleep thinking about this mess then try and find a lawyer that will agree to allow you to tell the dealership - stop bugging me about this - please send any future correspondence directly to my attorney. Or maybe the lawyer will write a nice letter for you asking then to direct any future correspondence directly to them. Once they know you have a lawyer they will go away fast. I would guess the letter will cost $250. But it could be worth it.
 
These guys sound like pure scum -

What's a fair price nowadays? by afweji

Hey all,
 
I'm looking into buying my first car soon and am looking at the Mazda3. I just had some questions as to what a fair price would be for the 4-door Mazda3 s trim. Edmunds has the invoice price around $15805, but messages I've read here are usually higher for the s trim.
 
I've seen posts mostly around the $17000 mark for this car. Anyways, I think it should be going down sometime since the 2007 models should be out soon. In terms of geographic area, I'm in the SF bay area if prices vary by location. Thanks for your advice!

I am getting prices at or slighty below invoice in Northern VA. If you call around, I think you will find that dealers will sell at invoice.

Invoice? I am trying to find a hatch in central Florida, and I'm negotiating OTD prices. Back calculating, assuming no dealer fees, pitting several bids against each other, I've only gotten down to about 300-400 over invoice. Needless to say, I won't be buying at this price. If anyone can recommend a better dealer in this area, I'd love some help.
 
Is it unreasonable to expect invoice? And when I say that, I mean invoice with no dealer fees, or are these prices actually decent?
