Why do you two think that this has ANYTHING to do with Mazda?
This is a local dealership issue.
Even if you contacted Mazda NA about this issue, they would clearly tell you that they have no control over how their dealerships sell they vehicles that they buy from Mazda.
What I can tell you is that the Mazda dealer in question isn't on the list of Edmunds 5 Star dealers:

Nor is it a member of the list of Gold Cup Mazda dealers realeased by Mazda itself:

So, if you live in Texas, and you want to buy a Mazda, don't buy it at Roger Beasley Mazda of Killeen. Just drive down the road to either Georgetown or Austin instead.

Corporate can absolutely come down on a dealership that is ripping people off. They can even drop the franchise if they wish. The dealership has no upper hand. I understand your point though, they could be selling any brand, but they are selling Mazdas and this is a reason to not buy one if you're shopping there.
