If you're shopping around for a new car and looking at a Mazda, you should make your first stop Huntington Beach Mazda to talk to Joe R. or Joe B. I recently bought my first car there from the Joes and had a great experience. I got to the dealership Saturday afternoon to check out the new 2009 Miata and after getting the usual documentation, Joe R. handed me the keys so that my boyfriend and I could take the car out for a test drive. Some Mazda dealerships don't let you take the Miata (and other cars) out until you discuss numbers and even fewer will let you take the car out without the salesperson with you, especially if both people taking the car out are under 25. Joe treated us with respect, rather than like a bunch of kids just messing around, which was a nice surprise. Loved the car, Joe gave us the numbers and let us talk about it without hovering over us at all. Eventually, I gave him the amount I was willing to pay and we settled on a price. I still wanted to think about it overnight, so I told the Joes that and they didn't pressure me to buy the car that night at all, even though I had already spent about 3 hours there. During that time, they were always available to answer my questions and let me take the car out for another drive. Came back Sunday afternoon, took one last test drive, and bought the car from Joe R. and Joe B, who stuck to the price we had agreed on the night before. Overall, incredibly low pressure atmosphere and very friendly salespeople who made my first car buying experience memorable, and in a positive way. My dad was with me on the day that I made the purchase and even said that was the most low pressure car buying experience he'd ever had. Now I have a car that I love and at a price that I was very happy with.
