Hi, I'm getting the 2007 Mazda 6 S VE out the door in Phoenix AZ for $23300. Is this a reasonable price? The reason I ask is I didn't have to negotiate very hard for this price...the starting price of the car was the invoice price itself. All comments appreciated

Replying to: keyur1 (Mar 06, 2007 1:14 pm)  . Normally it will be a month to pay it off as you get the statement after about 3 weeks and if you call or go on website they give you payoff amount for 10 days ahead. I called early and was able to get payoff quote using SS#. I paid $60 in interest to get the $1000 rebate. I would have paid cash otherwise. Is $21,800 invoice? Have you tried other dealers...I had no problem getting email quotes at below invoice in Jan...pretty sure there was a $500 dealer incentive going at the time. Wow! You guys pay heavy plate and document fees  . Nothing you can do about the plate fee, but does everyone out there charge that much for doc. fee? Here (WI) it is $99-129, dealers were only allowed to start that scam a couple years ago. They set the fee and do not have to even have one but some try to claim it is a state fee. |

I was reading through some previous postings on the mazda 6 site. many people were complaining about wear on the seats (fuzzies). has this been an issue still, is it on the 06's too?

Any one have any thoughts on this? I loved driving the Mazda 6, however I am concerned with the consumer reports evaluatoin of it's reliability. The I4 got better ratings. I am trying to understand how the ratings were established. The Fusion and Mazda 6 to my understanding have teh same engine right? So how does the Fusion get high engine/trans reliability for first year, and Mazda 6 has lower values? Thanks for any input. Also, how about any information on an extended warranty? What is a reasonable cost to pay for one?

Replying to: dudette3 (Mar 13, 2007 6:42 pm)  The engines are the same or mostly so, the differences in CR results are most likely just random sample errors. CR gets its ratings by surveying its readers. The surveys are pretty poor, IMO, as the questions are too subjective. They ask something like "did you have a problem that you think was significant". There are a number of critiques of CR reliability reports at: http://www.truedelta.com/pieces/think.php?session_code= If I am unlucky and get stuck with a major repair bill after the warranty ends, I can afford this, so I do not bother with extended warranties. If this would be a major problem for you, then maybe it is worth getting this "insurance", as long as you are sure of what you are getting. Edmunds "true cost to own" shows expected repair costs of $706 for 5 years 75,000 miles for the Mazda6. Note that this is only about $70 (or 10%) more than Camry or Accord. Here is another piece of data on reliability of Mazda: http://media.ford.com/newsroom/feature_display.cfm?release=24804 |

I am looking for a MAzda 6s and I have found a few 06 models out there. There is a dealer close by who is offering the car at around 17.5k but I think I should be able to decrease it down to around $16,500. Is this a good deal? Any ideas on what should be my target? Lastly-any disadvantages on getting a 06 model? Thanks! |

Replying to: dudette3 (Mar 13, 2007 6:42 pm)  . With both cars it was suspension issues, interior noises and poor quality of interior materials. This is my 2nd Mazda and my 1st, a Miata, was one of the most trouble free cars I have ever owned. I don't think you can beat the MAZDA6's combination of price, looks, handling, warranty and reliability. Go for it!
