Victor Liantonio

Wantagh Mazda has proven to be an unethical dealership. I tried to avoid the typical high pressure sales tactics by purchasing a new Mazda CX-5 online. I tried emailing the sales department to request an I tried to avoid the typical high pressure sales tactics by purchasing a new Mazda CX-5 online. I tried emailing the sales department to request an out the door (OTD) price and got no response. I then tried emailing a specific salesman (Victor) and got a response written by a child: "vl714@wmazda.com> wrote:selling price 32870 tax 2835 35705 plus dmv only". So much for the praise about their professionalism. I was determined to purchase a specific CX-5 based on the configuration and price. Using the CarEdge website, I was able to determine the vehicle was on Wantagh Mazda's lot for approximately 153 days. Surely, they must be eager to move the vehicle. I was wrong. After failing to get any satisfaction from Joe B or Victor L, I decided to buy the vehicle through the Wantagh Mazda website. I was successful until the sales staff got involved. I received a completed "job sheet" or purchase order. I received an email from Joe B. (Internet Sales) stating "Now more than ever you need a dealer you can trust, and Wantagh Mazda is that dealer." Time to throw the xx flag! I then received a call from Joe S. (Concierge) informing me that due to an issue with Mazda, they couldn't sell me the vehicle at that price. Time to throw the xx flag again! It seems that Mazda was responsible for over building the options list and Wantagh Mazda couldn't (actually wouldn't) sell the vehicle at that price. I refuse to be pressured into buying add-ons and Wantagh Mazda can't gouge their customers without them. I followed the vehicle I was trying to purchase for weeks without any change to the listing. The day after the deal collapsed, the website still lists the vehicle exactly as I've seen it for weeks (search VIN JM3KFBCL0S0661739 Stock # 9162). This is a classic example of "bait and switch". Don't be blinded by the "hype", the praise you see in these reviews is propaganda to get you in the showroom for their sales tactics. AVOID WANTAGH MAZDA. As a previous customer, this isn't the same dealership I experienced years ago. More

He was never pushy, and never t could not be happier about the whole experience. Victor Liantonio was extremely helpful throughout the whole process.

They are honest and upfront, a rarity in car buying experience. Vic is like family to us - the best salesman ever! Once you got to Wantagh Mazda you will see the difference. Although not a large dealership like my mother always said, "great things come in small packages!" Mazda cars are great quality, reliable and up to date technology. It's a no brainer, go to Wantagh Mazda. More
