so my dads looking at getting a new car, so i went to test drive one of his choices mazda3, so i was talking to the salesman and he said that when the car first came out, all the salespersons got together with the high ranking associates, and when he asked what the price was on the new car all they said was, "we're not going to tell you, but when it rolls into your showroom with the price tag, you'll be pleasantly surprised". so its not the salespersons screwing up their job, its the people that run the company not sharing info with them. this is completely pointless, just thought id share tho

the mazda dealership here is the same way..they dont post the prices, they dont know the prices..i was looking at a mazda 3 and i didnt know how much it was til we started filling out the paperwork for the credit check.

I would have walked out at that point. That is a really pathetic tactic.

As a former GM salesman, I can tell you that GM left an right hands are a long way apart.

No way I would have filled out ant paper work with out knowing what the car cost. It was time to leave.
