The Mazda dealership in Orangeville may have given new meaning to the automaker’s slogan of “zoom, zoom, zoom” for motorist Madeline Leonard.
Leonard walked into the dealership wanting to replace the tires on her 2004 car. By the time she left she was on the hook for a spiffy, black 2010 Mazda6 sedan at the eye-popping price of almost $66,000, after taxes and the value of her trade-in vehicle.
That’s $25,000 more than she should have paid, according to Ontario’s auto regulator.
She says “Moe,” the salesman, talked fast. The numbers whizzed by and before she knew it she had bought the 2010 model.
