Almost bought 2002(?) to replace my 1998
Knowing that the 2002 was going to be the last year Millenia and because I have to date not had any problems with my 1998 went car shopping last year. Went to some internet site (don't recall name) and priced one choose options and waited. Waited a couple of weeks and the company was able to find one for me at a dealer about 20 miles from my home. Went to pick up the car at the dealership. I wanted to see the car as soon as I got to the dealership and they told me it was stored off site. I waited 3 hours to see the car and when I saw it noticed right away that the car had been driven as a demo (food inside, dings outside and 300 miles on Odometer). Funny thing was that they wanted me to sign the paperwork on the car before I saw it. This turned me off to the Mazda. Called corporate offices and they basically told me the dealers were independant and they had nothing to do with what the dealer had done. This whole scenario turned me off to Mazda and although the Millenia is a great car (going to give my 1998 to my son) I will never purchase another Mazda again. (by the way the one I have was the second Millenia that I have owned). So it's very interesting that such a good car could not be sold by the same caliber of people.
