Angry 05 Mazda 3 - 1.5 weeks & problems already!

So, I just bought a 2005 White Mazda 3 Hatcher from a dealership, and everything was going fantastic... until 8 days after having it, the clutch started slipping. EFF!

I take it back to the dealership immediately after I feel this, and low and behold, I get the shaft. They are not going to cover it themselves. I cannot believe the horrible customer service. They almost didn't even give me a bloody rental car! Too bad, so sad, it's regular wear and tear they say, it passed the safety they say. I guess it doesn't matter that they already made a lovely penny off me when I purchased it, and just want MORE.

I'm so bummed out that I my baby isn't parked in the driveway.

Anyone else have any horror stories like this? I need some peace of mind that I didn't buy into a lemon.

Update: Got her back safe and sound, but that's not the last that dealership has heard from me....

Which dealership? We'll be sure to steer clear of them too.

The dealership is Markham Mazda, on Toronto Canada.. lol

I think you're safe

But, I just did a once over of the car when I got home, and they left grease/scratches on the left rear bumper that were not there when I dropped the car off. I have already documented this, called the GM and am currently writing a letter to Mazda Canada.

I looooove my car to pieces, but the service was horrible!!
