Oxnard Mazda

This was a deeply frustrating and frankly unacceptable experience. I received written confirmation (including VIN and price) that a specific vehicle would be ready for me at a scheduled time. Based on that, I drove 45 miles with a cashier's check to complete the purchase. After waiting at the dealership 45 minutes, I was finally told the car had already been sold earlier in the week. However, shortly afterward, I located the exact same vehicle (same VIN) listed for sale at another dealership. This directly contradicted what I had been told on-site and only added to the confusion. The explanations I received at the dealership were inconsistent, and no real effort was made to honor the confirmed arrangement or provide a concrete way to complete the purchase. Afterward, when I attempted to resolve the issue, the dealership's attorney claimed the vehicle could have been retrieved and sold to me at the agreed price. That option was never presented when I was physically there, and no meaningful follow-up occurred. So which is it? The car was sold, or it was available elsewhere and could have been transferred. Either way, the situation was handled poorly and the communication was unreliable. This wasn't just inconvenient--it was a waste of time and a breakdown of basic trust. I would strongly caution anyone against relying on "confirmed" availability from this dealership without independently verifying everything.

This was one of the worst car-buying experiences I’ve ever had. What should have been a straightforward purchase dragged out for weeks because the dealership was incredibly slow to respond. Calls and messages regularly took days to be returned, and sometimes I had to follow up multiple times just to get a simple update. Their “online buying” process was also very misleading. The numbers and expectations set online didn’t match what I was told once things started moving forward. Transparency was lacking, and the information seemed to change depending on who I spoke with. What made it worse was the lack of flexibility and honesty throughout the process. Reasonable questions about pricing or options were brushed off, and there was little effort to actually work with me to make the deal happen smoothly. The sales manager George and GM Caesar were awful to deal with. Buying a car should be efficient and exciting, not a drawn-out guessing game. Between the weeks of slow callbacks, confusing online process, and lack of transparency, I can’t recommend this dealership. I strongly suggest shopping elsewhere.

Bought a Mazda 3 that was listed as pristine with low miles. Upon its arrival i noticed a horrible smell coming from the car. It was explained to me by the salesman that the smell was coming from the coating placed on the car in Japan and it would take 10,000 miles to burn off. Turns out it was the smell of a burned out clutch. The car was a lemon and Oxnard has refused to return my emails. I've asked them to compensate me or accept the car back and they have ignored my requests. Not happy with my experience.

Mr. Klob , was unprofessional to me and to my daughter it was her first car, he accused me of stealing $3000.00 from his daughter, and told met get the xxxx out of my dealership, he walked toward me in very threatening manner and used his finger to tell me I will be watching you it was done in front of other sales rep and his manager. my daughter was very upset and she was crying.

I had agreement in writing with the sales manager, Karen Fernandez, on the price of a vehicle. "Yes, that is the price, plus taxes and dealer fees". I arrive at the dealer and it becomes apparent that to them, "dealer fees" means $8100 in comically overpriced accessories, including $2000 for roof crossbars. Showed the email to the owner, Josh, while Karen was on speakerphone, got a shrug out of him and an offer to "discount" the accessories, Congratulations, you got me!

One of the best car buying experience's I've had, Ivan, Josh and Kenneth were great to deal with no pressure answered all questions.
