Replying to: jbbevel (Jun 25, 2009 2:52 pm) Well, I've ended up going with the new 2010 Mazda 3 Sport Hatchback 6 speed Manual Transmission. I decided to dump the upgraded stereo and Moonroof option... just didn't seem worth another $1200.
#1901 of 1950 Costco Buying Service by bwia Jul 01, 2009 (9:22 am)
Has any boardie used or have experience with the no-haggle Costco buying service? I am not a Costco member yet so I was wondering: 1) Is it worth it to buy a $50 membership? and 2) Are the savings they promote significantly better than what I could get haggling the old fashioned way?   Furthermore, does Costco tend to recommend dealerships close to metropolitan areas or are they inclined to recommend out-of-the-way dealerships in Podunck USA? Any feedback is appreciated. Replies to this message: jbbevel (Jul 02, 2009 9:41 am)

Replying to: bwia (Jul 01, 2009 9:22 am) I think you have to take the Costco Buying Service... on a case by case basis. I used it to buy my wife's 2007 Toyota RAV 4... brand new.... back in 07.. I could not seem to get Toyota dealer to nudge much on the prices.... ended up just going with the Costco deal.. and did okay...   Comparatively, I just bought a new 2010 Mazda 3 on monday.... I used Edmunds and got quotes from about 7 dealers... told them I was pre-approved and would buy on monday ( end of month, end of quarter ) and would take the best dealer quote. I ended up doing better than Costco program or another program I was considering. Got my new ride for $400 below invoice... Costco was about $200 over invoice. So i made out with a $600 savings... by doing my homework and timing it right.   Good luck!

Replying to: BMW540 (Jul 08, 2009 7:12 am) Well...   You've gotta give us more information than what your payment is. What's the total cost, and out the door after Tax, title and license?

Replying to: BMW540 (Jul 08, 2009 7:12 am) Doesn't sound very good...   The MSRP is $24,445 Minus 4500, that puts you around $20000 retail. But who pays retail? Replies to this message: qbrozen (Jul 08, 2009 1:14 pm)

Replying to: r000 (Jul 08, 2009 11:56 am) Your response contains about as much detail as his post, so I guess its appropriate. ;b   IF he did pay $20k after the government aid, add tax and tags, and even at 0% it would be $361/mo.

#1908 of 1950 Hoping for feedback on pricing by BMW540 Jul 13, 2009 (7:14 am)
In my last post I stated that the 3 dealers that I contacted were all about at the same pricing. Does this pricing sound correct. Is there any way to get it lower? BMW
