I really dislike this dealership, and it's where I bought my 2018 Mazda 6 sport. No dealership is really good. I mean they're called Stealerships for a reason. However, this is too much. I called and spoke t my 2018 Mazda 6 sport. No dealership is really good. I mean they're called Stealerships for a reason. However, this is too much. I called and spoke to the sales manager, Patrick. I called in and I asked what I might be able to get for my car, and I didn't tell them that it was me. I just wanted to get an unbiased answer, so I just asked as someone who wanted to know what that type of car might sell for. Patrick told me that that type of car is one that is sought after, because they equipped producing it. Also, the low mileswere of interest to him. He told me that he would probably put that on The lot for in the range of $20,000 plus. Basically said it would be in the 20s. I questioned it, because it didn't seem right. Although, I have seen Mazdas selling for that figure. I specifically asked if trade in would be any better than just them buying the car, and he said it wouldn't make any difference. I went in, and I think I spent about 45 minutes waiting there, and they came back with the 14,000 dollar offer on my car with 29,700 mi on it. My car has no issues going on with it and it's in good shape.I consider it to be an excellent condition, and it has no interior or exterior damage. No wrecks. It would require a small amount of detailing and that's probably it. It's still under warranty. The powertrain and transmission are still covered. I was just so surprised, and I just left. I said thank you and walked out.It's interesting to me that I'm the way in you don't have much negotiating power, and on the way out, you have no negotiating power. Basically they see the car as having value until you want to get money from it. I understand that in 2021 we had a car shortage, but still, this car is worth more than they were asking. Even Mazda out on a 122nd told me it would be between $16, 500 and 18,000 for trade in or for purchasing by a dealership. I don't like it when people waste my time. I think they could have told me it was very unlikely they were going to give me much more than that, even just with having a few pictures. I have a lot of pictures of my car. Car dealerships like to sell out at the highest price and give you the lowest price when it comes down to it. Stay far away from Mazda of Gladstone. If you do want to buy a Mazda, you might want to head out to Ron Tonkin on 122nd and Portland. You could ask to talk to Tim, these service manager, if you pick out a car. He is so nice! Any car you're buying you should be checked out very well.I hope this helps somebody, and I'm not saying that Mazda is a bad car. It's a good car. I just wouldn't trust this dealership. Try to get a car with the lowest amount of miles, the fewest amount of drivers and preferably only one driver, and a car with no accidents. Make sure that the car fax report is clean, and also leave with two key fobs. They tried to give me one, and I fought that in 2021. I got two. Make that part of the negotiation, as well as get a maintenance contract. More

This review pertains to only the Sales/Finance Department: First, I want to commend Octavia and Clark for their outstanding service. They were incredibly patient, answered all my questions thoroug Department: First, I want to commend Octavia and Clark for their outstanding service. They were incredibly patient, answered all my questions thoroughly, and never made me feel pressured to make any decisions. They made me feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer. However, my experience took a turn for the worse when I entered the finance office. The process took an agonizing THREE hours, and during two of those hours, we sat in complete silence. The financial manager made multiple errors, forcing us to restart the process, which resulted in the final documents being confusing. Additionally, the odometer value on the documents was incorrect. To make matters worse, the dealership failed to follow through on my request to have the license plates sent to the dealership for pickup. It has been almost three months, and I still have not received my plates. My temporary plates expire in one week, which is causing some anxiety. I tried reaching out to the dealership via text on 04/14 and 04/21, but I received no response. I eventually spoke with the GM on 04/24, who told me that the DMV had made a mistake by not following written instructions. However, upon contacting the DMV, I discovered that the dealership had submitted the form using an incorrect method, and now I need to go through the reinstatement process to get my plates sent to my home address. Loving my new car, but will not be returning for my next purchase or recommend to anyone. More
