Replying to: eswjong (Oct 27, 2005 2:03 pm) You say the car is a used 2004 and say the in service date was Jan 2005. That's a bit of a riddle, I would have thought that the car is a 2005.

Replying to: autonomous (Oct 28, 2005 5:16 am) The car is a 2004 model (VIN checks out) and the in service date was Jan 05. I was wondering if it was just sitting on the initial dealer's lot and sold at a discount when the dealer had the newer '05s sitting next to it. It is a weird package. Why they would pay for 17" alloy wheels for over a grand but not get the sports package for $900 that includes the 17" wheels is beyond me. What do you think a decent starting price is to bargain with?

Check the sticker on the inside of the drivers door to find the build date.I am not sure you are looking at a 2004 if it has a six speed automatic.All 2004's had a five speed. Also the 17" wheels were standard on the wagon. You could not buy it with 16" wheels or a 4 cylinder for that matter.

Replying to: techtech (Oct 18, 2005 6:01 pm) They seem to be a pretty straight forward dealer. He had a great experience with them. He bought from the Jim Ellis location on P'tree Industial (Jim Ellis also has a Mazda dealership in Marietta). Does your quote include the $1000 bonus cash for financing thru Mazda credit/ |

My wife and I shopped this past Saturday and had a fantastic buying experience and got an incredible deal on a 2005 Mazda 6s. After much negotiating and headaches with Kerry Mazda (Cincinnati) and being kept in the dark about the deal the whole time, we went elsewhere. The finance manager would only show us a payment. My wife and I are young, 22 and 23 respectively, both college graduates and this guy just insulted us with his offer. No straight talk, wouldn't even attempt to try and let us solve for any of the variables in the equation. Didn't want to mention price at all. The salesman helping us knew that my degree was in finance but yet they still tried to pull something on us. It's the end of the month, end of the model year and they still had over 10 2005 Mazda 6's sitting on the lot and weren't willing to deal. We looked at other dealers in the area but none of them had what we were looking for in a 2005, most of them were gone. I called Paul Miller Mazda in Lexington, KY (80 miles from Cincinnati). I spoke with a representative over the phone discussing only price, telling them, look this is the car I want (sticker $26,563), I want 7K off the sticker... can you do it. The guy had to talk to his manager so he called me back in 5 minutes. "We can do that". I was transferred to the finance guy who would discuss the interest rate. We agreed upon a .5 point over the buy rate and in a very short period of time we had a deal. Onyx Black, black cloth, V6, 6sp auto, sport pkg, bose, moonroof. $19,563 before TTL, just an unbelievable price. The guy we signed the paperwork with told us the dealership actually lost $1500 on the sale of the car just so they could steal the deal from the other dealership. Great car, great buying experience and it was because of seeing some of the deals that could be had on this message board. Thanks edmunds and everyone on the board.

I've loved these cars since they came out and I finally got mine!!! The ad in the paper advertised up to 7000 off MSRP on all 05 Mazda6's. I printed the window sticker of my ideal 6 and went to the central Ohio dealer. To my amazement they had the EXACT car I wanted. Volcanic Red Mazda6 i Hatch w/ 5 speed MT. It was also the only MT on the lot. The sticker was at around 22600. The sales manager told me that this particular car only had 5000 off MSRP (2000 rebate + 2000 dealer discount + 1000 Mazda finance rebate). They also low balled my trade by at least 1000 dollars. "Darn, not good enough" and I told the guy I'd think about it. I went home and slept on it. I got nothing done at work all day Monday driving myself crazy on what I should do. Finally I decided to take a hard line and I called them back. I told them that for me to take the deal I needed 7000 off MSRP and 9500 (up from 8500) for my trade. He said he would call back. 10 minutes later he called back and agreed to the terms as long as I got down there and bought it that night. The only almost sticking point was that the minimum amount financed to get the extra 1000 rebate was 7000 dollars. I came in just under that, but they were cool about it so I was happy. The interest rate was 7.5%, but I was not concerned about that since I will pay it off soon anyway. The buying experience was great. It's my 3rd Mazda and in my opinion those in Central Ohio should go to Mazda Direct and stay away from Byers Mazda. Volcanic Red Mazda6 i Hatch 5speed MT Black Cloth Wheel locks MSRP 22695 Price Paid 15695. And I love this car!!!!
