WALK!!!

         
        And then go here:
        www.carbuyingtips.com
         
        It is a scam to get more money out of you.  The above
        site is a GREAT reference about all of the things that
        a dealer will do to try to screw you out of money.  
        Your experience happens to be an old trick.

                Hello fellow listers,
                
                I'm looking for some feedback on how to proceed in the following
                situation:
                
                I contacted my local Mazda dealer to find out about the 2002 
Miata
                Special Edition.  I gave him my configuration, we negotiated a 
price on
                this configuration in writing, and I put a deposit down on the 
car last
                week.  Everything's hunky-dory right?  Wrong.
                
                I got an email from him today saying his manager balked at the 
pricing
                and increased it by $3000.  Needless to say, I was a little 
miffed.  I
                sent an email back asking for his supervisor's name and number 
so I
                could speak with him.  He sent me another email back stating 
that it
                wouldn't do any good to speak with his manager, and that he'd 
mail me
                back my deposit.  I told him to not send it back until I spoke 
with his
                manager.
                
                Well, folks, where do I take it from here?  I don't think going 
to
                another dealership is an option, since this is a Limited 
Edition car,
                they've probably already added on the price.  I don't know 
where I stand
                from a legal position, having the agreed upon configuration and 
price on
                paper, and them accepting and cashing my deposit check. 
                
                Any and all feedback is appreciated.  Thanks.
