As in someone traded it in for one of the dealership's cars and now they want to get it off of their lot because people generally don't go looking for Mazdas at a Chevy dealership?
Will they give you a better deal than if you went to a Mazda dealership looking for a Mazda?
I was thinking about getting a Mazda I saw at a Chevy dealership.

It can go either way. you'll still need to do your due diligence and shop around. The Chevy dealer may have had to pay up to get their client into a new car, or they could have taken it in cheap. Still do your shopping, but it won't be a problem buy a Mazda from a Chevy dealer, especially if it's still under mfg warranty.

A lot of new car dealerships now are part of auto groups with a lot of different dealerships under the same umbrella. So a lot of the time it doesn't really matter. They might keep a Mazda at a Chevy dealership, but they can move the car to their Mazda dealership if they needed it. At our Saturn store, we tried to keep a variety of makes all the time, to suit different tastes of the used buyers. If a non-Saturn hung around too long, it was usually sent to a different dealership in our group, to see if any more interest would be on it there.
What affected the price the most was how long the dealership group had the car. What would be best is to keep on checking out the lot. If you see that a car that you like has been on the lot for a while, you'd have the best chance of getting the best deal on the car.

They know what the car is worth by looking into the blue book. If they don't sell it after a period of time, they will wholesale it out at an auction.
Since they don't work on Mazda's they may not have the tools to do some of the repairs that may need to be done. If you go to a Mazda dealer, then they are familar with the problems that these cars may have, and know the fixes too.
Would you get your plumbing done by an electrician? Not saying that the electrician couldn't do the work, but which one would you prefer? Kind of the same thing about the Chevy and the Mazda.
You may also get a better warranty at the Mazda dealer. good luck.

I don't think that it matters where you buy the used car at, they are all going to use the same basic method to value the car. The only exception is that you can buy a certified used car from the dealership that sells that brand.

It really all depends if it's old more then 8 years then no because they just send the car to auction but if it's a few years old then it might or might not your best bet is to check around but i can assure you if the car is older then 8 years it doesn't matter.
