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.

You did ok.....not great. Basically you got the car for a little over invoice minus the $1500 rebate. In todays market I think you could have gotten another $500 or so but that also depends a little on what area of the country you live. People post on these forums all the time and never mention what area of the country they are in. Some areas are just more competitive than others.
 
Also you paid $2386 in ttl etc which seems high. Unless you sales tax is more than 8.5% you probably paid a hefty doc fee as well. In that case you definitely should have gotten the extra $500 off IMO.

Thanks m6user for your input as well. But i am confused.. According to Edmunds new car estimate, the average that people are paying for my exact car is reported to be around $25,376, in which case I am not worried that I got ripped off for paying about $23,700.
 
However when I looked up what people are paying for my car on truecar.com, it reported that you the average sales price for my car was around $21,900 or so.
It also said that a good price for the this car was about $3,500 below invoice.. Is this possible? If thats the case then I feel really bad about my deal.
 
Whats your opinion and anyone else who reads this.

Well just about everyone beats the Edmund TMV price for one thing but I find it hard to believe that $21900 is the average paid for this car. That would mean that a lot of the sales are substantially below that price which IMO is ridiculous. With another $500 and a Mazda owners $1000 rebate you may have gotten it for around $22000 which would be a very good deal. You never mentioned the actual breakdown of your transaction and that would help immensely as you didn't even mention if it was auto or manual tranny or if you had any other options on it other than the convenience pkg. Can you provide that info and the numbers such as:
Sale price of car:
Title charge:
Doc Fee:
Other dealer chgs:
Sales Tax:
Rebate:
 
You may be able to buy a Chrysler product at $3500 under invoice but I don't believe the Mazda6 is in that category.......yet!

I believe you had said there was $1500 in rebates and $2000 in dealer cash, if that is correct, then that is how $3500 below invoice would be possible.

I forgot about the dealer cash that was mentioned but I have not heard of this from any other source. I went to the truecar.com site and they have different rebate amounts for the I-4 auto vs. I-4 manual which I don't believe is the case. I believe the rebate is $1500 across the Mazda6 line but I could be wrong. I haven't seen anyone getting a price that low on a Mazda6 and the truecar.com site doesn't even reflect that low of number when you put in either a I-4 touring w/conv. pkg auto or manual.

Ok so this is for a 2009 Mazda 6 S Touring + Convenience package (Automatic).
 
My breakdown numbers were as follows. (They sales price was 24,514 with an additional 800 Cash back after deal was funded)
 
Vehicle Cash Price 26014.00
Sales Tax + 2315.25
Doc Fee + 50.00
Total = 28379.25
 
Rebate - 1500.00
                             = 26879.25
 
Lic + Reg. + 89.00
Total = 26968.25
 
Dealer agreed to give us an additional $800 cash back after deal was funded.
 
So Car with TTL = $26,168.25
 
So now what do you think?
