#1274 of 1756 Re: 6 s sd price [redacr] by guss Aug 16, 2005 (4:31 am)
Replying to: redacr (Aug 14, 2005 7:37 am) The problem with that model is you are posting your prices on the internet for EVERYONE to see.   If I am your competition down the street all I have to do is beat your number by $100. I would even use it in my advertising.   "Shop Redacr first but come see Guss last. We guarantee to beat his posted prices."
#1275 of 1756 '04 Used Pricing by tbear503 Aug 16, 2005 (10:25 am)
I'm looking at an 04 6i-auto 4- cylinder with 12,000 miles. Edmunds pricing for my area is almost 17K. The dealer list for it is 16,400. It seems from what I'm reading here that a new one can almost be bought cheaper. Anyway, how does 16, 400 sound for a clean used one?

Replying to: tbear503 (Aug 16, 2005 10:25 am) Based on my experience (shopping and buying) and what I am reading here, I doubt that $17K will get you a new one with much on it - it likely will not be loaded, b ut maybe that's not what you want to begin with. You have to compare models and options. If you don't want a lot on it, maybe you can get what you want in a new one for $17K. My experience locally with Edmunds prices is that they are a bit on the high side. Others may have had different experiences.

Is there anything else I'll need to use this rebate other than the coupon itself? Replies to this message: des5 (Aug 17, 2005 10:14 am)

Replying to: brizzock (Aug 17, 2005 8:20 am) The coupon says to bring the original offer (a mailer or print ad). But I didn't have one and the dealer never asked for it either. I have read other experiences have been different.   David

Replying to: tbear503 (Aug 16, 2005 10:25 am) sounds like a rip off to me. I bought an 04 6s with 9 miles on it for 17400....
#1280 of 1756 Mazda6 i Sport by allfiredup Aug 31, 2005 (8:58 am)
Hey folks!   I'm going to be buying a new car in the next week or so and have narrowed my choices to the Mazda3 and Mazda6. The 3 s is a blast to drive, especially with the 5-speed manual. I've also driven both automatic and manual versions of the 6 s, but they're a little more money than I want to spend.   I've located a dealer with a Lapis Blue 6 i Sport model with Bose/Moonroof and 5-speed manual for $16,998. The car is a demo and has about 8,000 miles on it, but never titled. I priced a new one online thru Edmunds TMV and a few other sources and it looks like a good deal.   My biggest concern is- does the 6 i 5-speed have enough power? I know the 2.3L is more than adequate in the 3, but I've not driven the 6 with it. This particular dealer is 150 miles from me, so it will be Saturday before I can go check it out. Any input on the matter? Anyone else have the 2.3L/5-speed combo?   Thanks for any help! Replies to this message: des5 (Aug 31, 2005 8:50 pm) escortowner (Sep 01, 2005 2:53 pm)

Replying to: allfiredup (Aug 31, 2005 8:58 am) I have a 6i with 5 speed, 3 weeks old. This power business is very relative. My prior car was an 1991 Infiniti G20 4cyl 140hp. I always thought it was fine until I drove a friend's Subaru WRX turbo - but I digress. As mentioned elsewhere, the 2.3L comes to life at around 3000rpm and above. The gearing of the tranny is well calibrated to downshifting and zoom-zooming in the power range. So, coupled with the super handling, I get a good enough thrill. Its definitely faster than the G20. Since I drive 80mi a day to work, fuel economy matters, and the 32-33mpg on the first two tanks make for an acceptable balance of economy and driving pleasure.   You can always test-drive a 6i at a closer dealer just to try one out. Consider that a new '05 model like that should be obtainable for around 18.5K.

Replying to: allfiredup (Aug 31, 2005 8:58 am) how's the power....I bought a 6s about 8 months ago for a relative steal and here is my experience with the whole thing so far. Shortly before I bought the 6s I had a Jetta 1.8T (180HP) and test drove the 6i. I knew within about 3 minutes of driving the 6i that I wanted the 6s. The 6s is about as sporty as the Jetta 1.8T, whereas the 6i to me was not nearly as peppy, plus it seemed like the engine had to work a lot harder. So, I think if you are looking for driving experience - then compare the 3 and the 6s. If you are looking for room - compare the 6s and 6i.   As an additional comment - I ran into similar pricing issues and it basically came down to, would I rather have an additional $20/month in car payments for a more loaded 6s, or settle for a more base model 6s.....I went with the base model 6s - all it has is the sports package, and a stickshift....if I had it to do over again, I would have spent the extra $20/month for the added options. like the bose, a moonroof, and interior the color I really wanted.   To me, to make that adjustment all it means is eating out 1 fewer times per month. Anyway - those are my comments. While the 6i isn't like driving a fore escort or anything, it isn't like driving a performance sedan either.
