While I appreciate the kudos, unfortunately we're not a Mazdaspeed dealership. The closest one is Mazda of Oakland, Team Mazda (Vallejo), Diablo Mazda (Walnut Creek), and the Mazda dealership in Burlingame.

My only experience was with Menlo Mazda in Redwood City. I bought a 3rd gen RX-7 off them many years ago. They were under a different name initially and became Menlo Mazda. The sales staff were nothing unusual - typical car salesmen. The service department was hopeless. I used them while the car was under warranty and then took it to Mazda Masters.

This was several years ago, so maybe they've improved ?!?

My only Mazda experience was last month at Putnam Mazda in Burlingame. Of course we knew what we wanted so there was no BS to throw around. They were cool.

I don't think so. Premium price maybe coming with the car. I read 5000 only for N.A. I'd buy an A3 instead if that happens.

mazda of oakland - the fleet manager is a talkative annoying dude. however he had the lowest prices.... and he loved showing his power over me when signing papers (making me wait, no water, talking on the phone, walking away). i really dont like him :P his name is simon tse and aparrently he's like the best salesman like 10 years ago or some crap like that. ... i also know how many houses he has and all this other useless crap. oh why do i remember it... my poor brain.

putnam @ burlingame - this erlich guy is pretty cool, but alas he did not have what i wanted nor a better price.

My fiance's dad bought a mazda5 from that Erlich guy at Putnam Mazda. he's a cool cat.

the problem with mazda is finding a mazda that you want. when my friend was looking for his mazda3, he had to go through 2 busted dealer trades, then eventually ordered 1 which took months to get. when my fiance was looking for a mazda3 also, we also went through 2 busted dealer trades before finding 1. bottom line, DONT TRUST THOSE MAZDA DEALER TRADES. they are lies and dont follow through. just a waste of time. these were for just NORMAL mazda3's too. i imagine the mazdaspeeds will be even harder to find.
