S-Plan Success

A local Mazda dealership in Cincinnati, OH agreed to sell me a Tribute for $200 BELOW invoice. I got that offer in writing and went to two other local dealerships. Needless to say, the other two would not even match the offer. So, with that said, I went back to the first dealership and placed an order for an ES Tribute...Zoom, Zoom...

Which dealership? Keith Kennedy at Jake Sweeney's in Tri-County has no problem doing S-plan. Matt Castrucci Mazda in Dayton does S-plan, too.<br><br>I never had much luck with Jeff Wyler on the eastside or the Mazda dealer in Florence, KY.<br><br>I didn't try the dealer at King's Auto Mall off of Fields-Ertel Road. However, judging from past experiences with salesmen there, I'd guess that they won't do S-plan, atleast not without some arguing.

The dealership that gave me the S-Plan pricing was the Jake Sweeney in Tri-County. I went to Kings Automall and Florence, KY. Kings would not budge an inch. They would barely listen to what I had to say. The Florence, KY dealer was willing to give me S-Plan pricing on the DX trim only. I didn't think to check in Dayton though.<br><br>Have you bought a Tribute yet? Or, are you still considering your options?

That sounds about right. Kings definitely has an attitude. It explains why they've always got a big inventory on the lot. They just opened not too many years ago and I look for them to be one of the dealerships that Mazda closes.<br><br>Too bad you didn't check Jeff Wyler. The problem with those guys is, like Sweeney, they usually don't have much in stock.<br><br>I bought my black LX from Matt Castrucci in Dayton on 30 Dec 00 using the S-plan though EAA. I tried Sweeney's but the salesman I bought my Miata from (Kennedy) was off the day prior and by the time he called me back, I'd already bought from Castrucci.<br><br>If you would like to read about my purchase, post #5419 describes it in much greater detail.
