#2 of 2089 In Maryland... by stretchsje Jan 08, 2003 (2:44 pm)
I haggled to $400 over invoice and was offered $500 over invoice by a no-haggle place. As of a few weeks ago, most dealers right now are still demanding MSRP. Find a more rural one if that is the case.
#3 of 2089 Mazda 6 price in S. F. Bay Area by kragilan by mcadrecha Jan 08, 2003 (3:20 pm)
Kragilan... Like you, I shopped the Accord, Camry, Altima, Saturn L300, and the 6. After driving all five, we narrowed it down to the Accord and the 6.   I think the 6 has better handling and braking than the others, looks real sporty, and the build quality appears good, but pricing was a bummer. The Accord pricing I got was quite reasonable for an EX-L 4 CYL car -- I got it for the Edmunds/CR invoice. The similarly equipped 6i I was trying to purchase was offered to me for about 700 under MSRP, still nearly three thousand more than the Accord. I called Mazda dealers in the bay area and said if they could match or come within range of the Accord price, I would buy the 6. It was their sale to win or lose but they said they couldn't match the Accord price so it was a no brainer for us -- we took the Accord.   We love the Accord and are glad we bought it but wish for Mazda's sake they would wake up and smell the coffee: If you are going to design a car to match the competition, you have to match the pricing too, otherwise, you will go down the road of Macintosh computers: great products with pricing that marginalzes itself because the pricing is so high that it only attracts a small percentage of the market (the die-hards).   Perhaps you will have better luck than I with the 6.   Michael

I'm a little afraid to ask, but what is the "BJ discount"?
#6 of 2089 LOL by maltb Jan 09, 2003 (11:20 am)
that's the funniest thing I've seen all day.   I think BJ's is similar to Costco or Sam's Club. No lipstick required.
#7 of 2089 If you were naming a business ... by mazda6s Jan 09, 2003 (11:30 am)
would you name it BJ's? Isn't that sort of like naming your daughter Barbara Jean?

a local pizza chain with the same name. Nice looking waitresses.

#10 of 2089 Can't wait to join the club! by rgros Jan 10, 2003 (3:40 pm)
Intend to buy a 6s MT Sport Pkg, Bose. Don't have enough nerve to ask what anyone paid but do any of the Houston area owners know of a dealer that is working around Edmunds TMV pricing. Won't buy for another 30 days so haven't attempted to negotiate, just looking to save some aggravation. Every dealer I've spoken to says they are moving them fast (surprise), I've been jumping around just so I can drive the damn thing; but I like U guys don't see any on the road.
#11 of 2089 Can't wait, please wait rgros! by go2nate Jan 11, 2003 (6:30 am)
Wait til the end of the month. I purchase my car in Houston and got (so I think), a pretty good deal. But here's some pointers (posted on another message board).   This is just a helpful hint to anyone who might be thinking of getting the leather interior in your Mazda6. One of my first concerns when I test drove my first Mazda6 with leather interior was that I didn't feel it was that comfortable or soft. I was pretty set on getting the Mazda6 before the end of the year, but unfortunately the only car that I liked on the lot (Onyx black with beige interior), didn't have leather OR a spoiler (the lip type). Because it was the end of the month (and the new year), the dealer agreed to put leather in it from one of his aftermarket suppliers. Believe me, the quality of this "aftermarket" leather is hands over heels better than the one's that originally come from Mazda. If you've ever sat in a Acura CL, then that is what it feels like.   So my advice to anyone considering leather is two-fold.   1) Wait till the end of the month, and   2) Have the dealer install the leather AFTER the sale, and make sure they don't try to charge you more than what's on the window sticker (even though it is a much better quality leather). Also, ask them to show you their leather samples and "feel" for yourself.   I guarantee you'll love your Mazda6 even more!   One more hint: Waiting to the very last day to make my decision (of whether to buy the Accord or the Mazda6) probably cost me more than it should have, and yet I still think I got a great deal.   If you live in Houston, don't buy your vehicle with tint or let them put it on after your sale. I know of someone who does excellent work off of I-45 and Parker who can do it for $90. If you live outside of Houston, check around for some window-tinting shops in your area.
