I don't understand why you need all of the credit reports unlocked.

I am curious what color and model you're hoping to buy.

The CX-50 is a nice car! What color did you get?

we used to have a mazda dealer in westboro MA. reasonable folks.
They also had a VW dealership in the same location.
There was a Wellesley dealer for mazda as well who was about 25 mils away.
wellesley decided to buy westboro, mazda said don't do that, and they didn't listen and bought it anyway.
Mazda pulled the westboro franchise and sold it to someone else.

I bet a lot of the Wellesley population don't drive Mazda's.

One would be surprised. A lot of them are so comfortable they don't need to show off.
Plus old money tends to be really cheap frugal.

Jeanne first liked the Zircon Sand, but when we went a second time she didn’t. We’re getting the white because all other colors are dark, and too hot most the year.
We needed to get a loan as it would take too long to sell investments and accumulate the cash. But they needed Experian ratings for the banks, and the freeze I had placed years ago would not unlock, even though their damn automated line appeared to have unlocked it. Even the sales lady couldn’t get past the automate system. Now I have the cash together, so when we go back Friday, I’ll write a check. If they still have the car. The general manager told me he’d call me back in ten minutes. That was a day and a half ago.

Today's news: DETROIT -- Stellantis -- formerly known as Fiat Chrysler -- is warning owners of certain later models of Dodge vehicles to stop driving the cars altogether as exploding air bags have killed three more drivers.

Stellantis says drivers of 2005 through 2010 model years of the Dodge Magnum wagons, Dodge Challenger and Charger muscle cars and Chrysler 300 sedans should park their cars immediately.

The latest deaths involving Takata air bags brings the worldwide total of fatalities related to the issue to at least 32 with 23 of those deaths happening in the U.S.

So sad that this has gone on for so many years yet they can't get the airbags replaced in a timely manner, this has gone on far too long, Stellantis is not the only company in that boat though.

Fourth trip to the dealer coming up this morning. Will probably, this time, drive home a white Mazda CX50, Patty.
