Mikemartin, it looks like you're getting excellent offers! Here in LA I didn't get so good offers. Also this is my first car buy and I don't pretend to be very good at negotiating. I didn't need the car but after a week talking to dealers I was so exhausted from all the lies so I decided to buy, since I didn't want to distract my self any more with the buying of a car.
Just to clarify something, on the mazda6 the offer is either $1500 cash back or $1000+special interest rates. You can get additional $500 with a preferred buyer card that mazda is giving to some of it's customers.
Anyway, I'm very happy with the price and with the car - it's very nice and drives very well.

Penchi, you got a good deal, I do believe.
 
Sometimes it's not easy to get the very best deal possible because the dealer may not be close enough by.
 
What that salesman told me about car sales was the understatement of the year - I just read TTAC and it's amazing how much Toyota and Honda sales have dropped, and Porsche is literally near bankruptcy?

I took a quick look at TTAC and read about Porsche but couldn't find anything about car sales. I also think that the car sales will drop more before they start rising again but I think also that the car manufactures already started producing much less cars then before.

Fair? by ynotnech

I just purchased a 09 Mazda 6 S touring + convenience package. The negotiated sales price that we agreed to was $24,500, plus they also offered to pay us $800 dollars to pay off our last few payments of our current car after the deal was funded.
 
The question that I have is that knowing that there is a $1500 customer cash rebate, in which I wanted to use as a down payment... shouldn't the rebate go towards the 24,500 negotiated price? so that we would only owe $23,000?
 
What they ended up doing was putting the $1500 over our negotiated price.. so our price on the contract was $26,000. Is that resonable? To me it seem like they stole our cash rebate and then made us pay the taxes on it.
 
You have to keep in mind that the Dealer also has their own $2000 manufacturer to dealer incentives as well.
 
I thought that wasn't fair.. but of course that was after the fact that I signed the contract without reading all the number carefully.
 
What do you guys think? Fair? can I still do anything about it?

I think it is normal for the dealer to include the rebate in negotiated price, with the buyer signing the rebate over. I don't know if it is normal for the customer to not be aware that this is what is being done.
 
I assume you signed the rebate over to the dealer at some point, but have you taken delivery of the car yet? If not, I don't know what the consequences might be for backing out of the deal.

Thanks for your input. I guess it's my own fault for not really looking at all the numbers before i signed. I did take delivery of the car... so I really don't have any type of leverage. I did not know that they used the rebate to get to my final sales price. I assumed I still have it to use after the negotiated price.. Anyways, I talked to the sales manager and they said there is nothing left for them to do.
 
I did take GAP insurance from them since I do now owe more than the car is worth, but i found that my own insurance company charges 3X less for the same coverage.. so I guess I will save money there.

The price is not bad. I'd just make sure you are getting all applicable rebates. I don't like that they quoted you an "out the door" price that isn't truly out the door since it doesn't include taxes. As long as you factor in the additional $1,500 or so for taxes into the equation for your monthly payment then I guess there is no harm done.

So did I get a good deal? I bought an 09 Mazda 6 S Touring + Convenience package (V6 Automatic). After all the rebates etc.. the price of the car was $23,714. After all the taxes, doc, etc etc... the price ended to be about $26,100.
 
What do you guys think?

True the dealer should have at least mentioned that they were using the rebate as part of the down payment so to speak. I've bought cars with rebates involved and that's exactly how it was done. However, when they went over the sales contract line by line they explained it.
 
You do have a choice to actually receive the rebate but I believe that 99.9% of car deals involving rebates are done just as your was. Also, in most states, by law they have to include the rebate in the price of the car for tax purposes. It's just like a rebate that you mail in, you had to pay sales tax on the full price of the product before you get your rebate back in the mail.
