Hi- I'm talking with a dealer in Alabama that has appraised my trade-in (a 1994 Nissan Altima in "fair" condition, i.e. low miles but looks like crap) at $800. Taking my trade, they are offering an OTD price of $23,282 on a Mazda6 iTouring with Automatic Transmission, Convenience Package, All-weather floor mats (quoted at $80), and Electrochromic mirror ($385). I don't have their write up of specific costs in hand, but I think they likely would break it down as roughly this: Vehicle price roughly $23k Taxes, fees and registration: $1100 My tradein: -$800 Final price OTD: $23.3k Is this a good deal? How aggressively should I seek a reduction? Trueprice.com shows that my region definitely is running $1500 to $2000 higher than the national average. For my region the Trueprice suggests that $22.8k is a "great price", and my guesstimate is that there is roughly a 23k price on the car they are trying to sell me. Finally, I have one "ace" which is that I will receive a $500 Mazda preferred buyer coupon in the mail (don't have it yet, and I have not introduced it into the negotiation). If I think I want this car, how hard should I try to nudge the price down, PRIOR to showing them that $500 coupon? Is it considered totally improper to settle on a final negotiated price and then just "spring" the Mazda Preferred Coupon on them as a last-minute surprise? If someone knows the protocol of this stuff, let me know. waterbuck1

The 2009 Mazda 6 i Grand Touring I purchased is white with beige leather seats. The seat belts are black ! Nice car but why did they do that ? I cant stop noticing it now. It looks really goofy !

But lightly colored belts tend to get grimy looking, and the black tends to look new longer. I think you'll like the way the belts break up the look a little more as you enjoy the car more and it ages. Plus, if that's the thing you had to "settle" for, your GT must rock! Congrats on the new car. |

Hi- I'm looking in Alabama and have an offer for an iTouring Automatic with Convenience Package, plus self-dimming rear view mirror and floor mats for 23.3k. This is in the "good price' range from Truecar.com for my area. Do you think I can get them to go much lower?

Replying to: waterbuck1 (Jun 06, 2009 7:23 pm) Yes . . . you can do better on the price. I got an i-GT with moonroof/bose pkg. for $23100. You hold all the cards.

Replying to: louking (Jun 07, 2009 2:54 pm) Did your i-GT have the Convenience Package and the Moonroof/Bose pkg? Also, can you give a sense of what State or region of the country you are in. On Truecar.com, I seem to be in a bit more pricey area.

Replying to: waterbuck1 (Jun 07, 2009 5:03 pm) Check the feature comparison page on the M6 website. The Grand Touring does not have a Convenience Package. It has most, if not all of the features of the Convenience package already by default, hence making it a Grand Touring. The Convenience Package is available on the I Touring models. However, Moonroof/Bose is an option package available to both trim levels.....Navigation is only available on Grand Touring.....At least this is true in the Northeast. My last quote on an I Touring with Convenience and Moon/Bose Packages was $21,800 before TT/Reg fees. quoted price on a Grand Touring with Moon/Bose was $23,200. Hope this helps. |

Just bought a Mazda6 S Grand Touring with Bose/Moonroof + Navigation. MSRP $32790 . Was offered $26,500 and used preferred card for $26000 + TTL. . Unless I am missing something, I think I got a decent deal, but would love to hear what others think.
