Unhappy at first, but all good now August 18 we drove up from Bradenton and purchased the 2007 Volvo C 70 you offered, trading in our 2003 Mazda Miata Shinsen. I did not care for the August 18 we drove up from Bradenton and purchased the 2007 Volvo C 70 you offered, trading in our 2003 Mazda Miata Shinsen. I did not care for the deal, but my wife had her heart set and your guy knew it. We paid list for the car and $5,000 for our trade. Two sales people were saying the car had been inspected but your closer John, said No, no, no, we don’t check “as is” cars. Alarm bells went off but I didn’t do anything. Well the oil was changed, so somebody looked underneath. We signed off, “as is” but I was worried there were issues as your “bronze cars as is” read 100,000 miles and above while this one has 88,000. I was right. Timing belt kit and front brakes are expected with this age car. Replacing both leaking axles and a leaking front strut is not. Shop is saying an oil is leaking out of the axle, but they contain grease, not oil, unless oil was put in there to hide something, somewhere in the chain of ownership. Volvo dealer is quoting me over $7,000 for all! More than the cars list. I talked with a member of management over the phone, before we drove up, and asked for any leaks and was told “ I would not put out a car with leaks on my lot” We feel lied to on top of a bad deal. This is why people avoid dealers. BTW, all your regular salespeople were fantastic Update, The management reached out to me due to an earlier email I had sent to them. These issues are resolved. I very much appreciate their follow up and resolution. Things happen and I do not think they were intentional. I would go there again More

Bait and Switch Games I thought long and hard about posting this because I have bought one car from them a year ago, and the service crew has been great so far. However, t I thought long and hard about posting this because I have bought one car from them a year ago, and the service crew has been great so far. However, the last time I came to the dealership fully prepared with all my numbers, so there wasn’t much room for them to wiggle out, although they tried. This time, they reached out to me with the following promotion: “LUCKY 22 I intend to make this short and to the point. We need to sell 22 new cars between now and the end of business Monday, July 2nd. We have had an incredible month and need only 22 additional sales in order to qualify for substantial Mazda volume incentives to reach our 2018 yearly goals. If we don't reach 22 sales by Monday night, we will miss out on a significant amount of money. In order to ensure that does not happen, we intend to pass on tremendous savings to all potential customers right away. We urge you to be among the lucky 22 to take advantage of this special offer. Act fast. I wish it were not so time sensitive, but it simply is. Contact me directly. Drive your hardest bargain possible. You will not be disappointed. Please call (855) xxx-xxxx to schedule an appointment today. Thank you, General Manager Cory Fairbanks Mazda” So, imagine after communicating with both a manager and a sales representative with all numbers of exactly what “my hardest bargain” was, and at least two responses back to me confirming that “what you are asking is not out of reason” my surprise when we got to the dealership and they basically told me we were $9,000 off and I was crazy for thinking they would have agreed to the terms I had laid out! What really made me angry is that they tried to act stupid that they did not understand the terms I had presented as my offer and told me I was crazy to think they would have sold the car below value...but you can read their email and be the judge. The terms I laid out were: New car $24,000. My terms: $13,500 net financed 60 months, 2.9% interest. Looking only to trade in car worth approximately $2,600 kbb. What can be misunderstood here? On the car we wanted that left a gap of about $8k after corporate rebates. Sure, I expected to have some negotiations, but not to be told, yes we are close and then, you are crazy if we are going to take a loss when I came in. The bottom line is they are still trying to employ the old bait and switch tactics that just waste everybody’s time. They need to wake up that many consumers are educated financially so don’t insult our intelligence. I feel that if you are not educated, don’t shop here because they will take you for as much as they can! Lastly, the internet manager (cannot remember by name, never gave me a card) requested time to review the emails and respond to me to try to make it right. I did not expect a car, but I did expect an apology. I have waited 5 days and not a peep. I am still angry...more so when I went back and re-read their promo “Lucky 22” email. They tried to make me feel stupid for asking for the deal I did; but they mislead me in their email and then continued to lead me on to get us in. No apology, no I see how you were mislead and we are taking steps to set it right....just a try to shut her up and get her out of here and move on to the next rube attitude is what I got. Dealing with their ingenuousness is not the way I want to waste my time again. Let the buyer beware! More

Like many families, My family was in one of those situations where we needed a second vehicle a bit bigger than the 10 year old car we currently have. Like many families, money and budget are very thight right now. We shopped all over and looked at five different kinds of vehicles. Then we went to Cory Fairbanks Mazda where we had purchased three other Mazda's over the last 20 years. We should have gone there first!!! What an awesome experience with Jose And every single person who had a part in getting us into a very nice car for the best price! Jose returned my calls multiple times and walked me through each process carefully providing all kinds of information. Thank you to everyone. More

My other car On September 28, 2014 I heard a screeching sound outside my house and ran outside to the horror of someone had lost control of their car and totale On September 28, 2014 I heard a screeching sound outside my house and ran outside to the horror of someone had lost control of their car and totaled my 2005 Impala that I paid $99.00 for from Cory Fairbanks Mazda. I tried looking for cars on Craig'slist and other local listings. But the wonderful sales employees and the good treatment made me think of Corey Fairbanks. So back to Corey's to look for another car. I arrive unknowling to them having another $99.00 car sales. Not believing that lightening would strike twice. I went ahead anyway and looked among the great used cars they had for sale and to make a long story sharp. I purchased a 2000 malibu for $99.00. Did I tell you the first time. There are no car lots - like Corey's Fairbank's lots. They really do treat you right. The sales staff are informative, friendly and professional. The management is very visible and always checking to see how they can help get you- in your new car. I find myself reommending them to friends for car purchases all the time. More
