well done on your deal! i just bought a 05 5door w/ v6, moon, bose, 5spd manual for 19.5k. the discounts right now are just huge as long as you can find the model you want. in oregon, there's not a lot left at most of the dealers except for wagons and 4 cylinder engines. i think i could have done a bit better, but i'm still really happy with the deal. the finance part was a quite bit high (around 9), but i plan to pay it off in 120 days anyway. according to the finance guy, minimum amount financed to qualify for the rebate is 10k. anyone know if this is true? but again, no prob for me.
 
anyone else find that getting into gear smoothly is more difficult than other cars? my honda was much easier to shift without lurching...maybe i just need to get a bit more familiar with it.
 
has anyone bought the organizer for that goes in the hatch area? looks like it might rattle a lot on bumpy roads... would be nice though since there aren't any grocery bag hooks in the back (dumb design if you ask me...).
 
also went to car toys to see about adding other stereo. with the big plate that has the stereo controls and HVAC controls, have to buy a 200$ plate then buy the stereo and install on top of that! ouch! too bad no rca or headphone jack input for walkman/ipod. this can be added aftermarket though...thinking if i can put the input in the armrest area would be perfect.
 
before buying the 6, drove accord v-6 w/ six speed, altima, subaru legacy non turbo and turbo. accord and legacy really expensive (probably 6k more for similar power). thought interior of both better than the 6, but no hatchback (which looks awesome imo and is really functonal). altima was too floaty in how it rides. not tight and responsive like the 6 or legacy. warranty on the 6 is also very good (hope i don't have to use it...).
 
so now, just have to get windows tinted and i will be done! just love driving this car!
 
also, if you're in portland, check out premiere mazda in oregon city...seem to be great guys. not high pressure at all and were very helpful. also good guys to talk to about other stuff.
 
sorry about this being so long, but hope it helps some of you who are looking.

okay the funny thing is i rechecked with the salesperson.
I was told by the salesperson that that was okay did not effect him...
i am now even more confused as why would a salesperson say so and then loose money?I rechecked with him on the 90 day clause which he refused existed and asked me to refinace in a week.
 
Price wise you did a good job. Pricing on a car is dependent on many variables and also the people need to make some money .

2006 6i by sandman46

Sat in this car in the dealership a few weeks ago and was quite impressed with the new dash layout...much better than all that silver stuff. Tasteful but elegant is how I'd describe it. I will test drive one when I give up my '03 Sentra, as now the wife plans on keeping her 3. Women...go figure!

i like the new dash too, but since i could get such a sweet deal on an 05, i went with it. you'll also like the new fabric they are using on the seats. plus it looks like replacing the stereo will be much easier (i just got back from a few stereo stores and it looks like installing the Metra Kit with new speakers and amps will cost a pretty penny ).
 
but i think that the styling of the car has been softened a bit which for me was one of the appealing things about the 6; the aggressive stance it had fit it's driving personality.
 
in the end though, you have to be happy with the car that you decide to buy...i just have to wonder how much they will be discounting the 06. keep us posted if you get a quote.

It looks like in some areas of the country the incentives are getting pretty sweet on the 2006 models - $2000 plus a $500 gas card.

Any golfers out there? Can you carry your bag in the trunk of the sedan?

Glad to hear you are enjoying your car...
 
I get that weird lurshing type of thing when switching gears too. i'm attributing that to it not being as refined as a toyota or honda. But who knows...my check engine light came on a few days ago for two days, then went back off...really weird. So I'm bringing it in tomorrow and see if they find anything. I thought you needed to plug the car into turn the engine light off.

I got 2 Questions:
I am planning to buy a mazda, so here are my options:
 
Option 1: Mazda6, 2006, V4, the cheapest of the Models, but I am gonna have them add Leather Seats and Rear Spoiler, out of the door price (including taxes and all that junk) is $19K
 
Option 2: Mazda6, 2005, V6, its the 5 Door Model, it comes with every extra posibble, moonroof, leather seats, etc, etc. Its a Demo car, so it has about 6k miles.
The out the door price is 24.5k (Which I am hoping to bring down to at least 22.5K)
 
Are these good prices for these cards?

Good offer on an '06?? by dairyshick

I just came from a dealership today in the pensacola, FL area. I was looking at a 2006 Mazda6, V6 with the sport package, bose/moonroof package and the 6spd-auto transmission. The MSRP was $26,820. They offered me the car at invoice of $24,566 minus the $3000 in cash back. The out-the-door price would be $23,569.79 Any thoughts??

i think i'm starting to get used to the tranny now, though sometimes i still have probs getting into third smoothly (strange since in my honda, getting into third smoothly was a given). sux about your ck engine light...keep us posted as to what the prob was.
 
one thing to add to my experience so far...just did a thorough detailing of my car today (wash, clay bar, wax) and found a huge amount of black tar-like spots all over the car (my car is a dark grey and was not very visible...perhaps i was too attached to my "baby" to see the blemishes). the dealership i bought the car from had recently had the road paved in front of it so maybe this is where these came from. use goo gone and this seemed to take these spots off very nicely. after the wax and clay bar (if you haven't used a clay bar before, it's amazing! makes the finish so much smoother by removing contaminates from the paint) all is well. the longer i have this car, the more i'm appreciating it's handling.
