We are very sorry to hear your comments about your experience here. It is understandable how current market conditions can be frustrating and somewhat surreal right now. We agree, these are unprecedented times in the car industry. I also want to apologize for any misunderstandings regarding your trade. After speaking with my Sales Managers, they have confirmed that we do not make "fictitious" trade offers with any customers. As such, please know that any offer we made for your car stands on it's own. In fact, we would absolutely buy your car outright at the value we stated, regardless of whether or not you are looking to buy another car from us. I am sorry if that was not made clear to you whenever you were dealing with our Sales Team. My apologies for that lack of clear communication on our part. We do our best to ensure that we are being fair and honest regarding our practices here. We regularly cross shop our competitors as well as seek feedback from consumers as they shop around, and we are confident that our pricing and practices are competitive or better than most other dealers. We have seen and been told about many dealers pricing their vehicles at $5000-$10.000 over MSRP during these times as they try to compensate for the large loss in sales volume due to the many production cuts and vehicle shortages. We have also felt this crunch with many months of less than half the cars we need to sell each month, but that is not excuse for unethical business practices, which we do not endorse. But again, we understand that market conditions can seem a bit out of line right now, so holding off on a new car is certainly your option. Nevertheless, we stand by our offer for your car, outright. I hope this can help in some way to enforce that no unethical pricing games are played here. Please feel free to respond here or contact me at 516-826-7788 x336 if there is anything else you would like to share or if there's anything else I can do for you. Thank you for your for your time. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss things with you and hopefully earn back your trust. Sincerely, Vin Vergara General Manager Wantagh Mazda
