Description of the problem | Hi. My name is nazmi pirraci. I bought my mazda 626,1998 from nissan dealer rated number 1 in santa barbara california. When i bought the car the odometer registered 82500 miles. I payed 9800 to buy the car. After driving only 10000 miles the car broke down. When i took the car to the mechanic he told me that the transmission broke down and that was going to cost me 2300 to replace it. When he found out that my car had only 10000 miles after i had bought from the dealer he asked me to take the car to the dealer and see if thay can help me with the cost . So i took the car to the dealer and explained what had happened. Thay told me that i didnt had warranty and that they could do nothing to help me. So i ended up paying 2300 dollars for my car . I feel that i have been cheated and i this model mazda 626 should definitely be recolled becouse lots of people that i know have the same problems with their mazda (transmission break down).*ak |
