Tks. That is a very good price you got, in fact it is the lowest I've seen. You got a great deal. Enjoy your new wheels!

I can confirm nmnewm6's figures as they are close to the quote I accepted for my Sangria Red Mazda 6s GT w/ Bose/Sunroof package:
 
Cash Price: 26264.00
CA Sales Tax: 2441.91
Doc Prep: 55.00
DMV License Fee: 302.00
CA Tire Fee: 8.75
 
Dealer offered a decent (not wonderful) price for my trade-in (an 11 year old Honda Accord 4 cylinder w/ 5MT that needs a new CAT) and my wife and I accepted the deal after talking it over for about 10 minutes.
 
Unfortunately I didn't qualify for the loyalty bonus.
 
The dealer was Fremont Mazda in Northern CA and I went through their internet dept. Of all the dealers I contacted all but 1 were between 26.2K and 26.5K; the other dealer was quoting a ridiculously low number (around 25K) and I was convinced this was just bait. The guys at Fremont made the process nice and easy and relatively quick (I have a 3 year old who was ready to destroy the place).
 
My impression is that the V6's are not shifting that fast even though they are relatively scarce. It looks like Fremont has only 2 or 3 left in stock compared to several 4 cyclinder models.
 
After 2 week's ownership my favorite things are: BSM, the power, HID lights, the power, the color, the power, the gauge cluster, the LED tail lights, and the power. My only dislikes are the missing auto door locking feature (even my basic Accord had this) and no place to put the key fob (I've resorted to using the door handle). Mileage, so far, is matching the edmunds.com & consumer reports mixed driving figure of 20mpg.

Nice info. Looks like you guys are hitting the perfect storm of poor auto sales and rising gas prices to get some really good deals on the V-6s. I notice that Fitzmall, an East Cost chain of dealerships, is offering similar deals on their website and they seem to have a good inventory. With the loyalty discount it appears that almost $7000 off from MSRP is possible with some combos.
 
Re the key fob. I thought the idea of the "keyless ignition" was the ability to open and start the car while leaving the fob in your pocket/purse. Is there a reason that you have to find someplace to put it??? Just curious.

Cash Price - 27450
Mazda Rebate - 1500
Loyalty Rebate - 1000
 
Bought the car for about 300 under invoice. I think that I probably could have done about $100 better, but not much more. Bought from Galpin Mazda in Van Nuys, CA.

m6user, regarding the key fob - you're right and I guess its just habit. I automatically take my keys out of my pocket and unlock using the unlock button on the fob and never think to put them back. I'm just used to driving with the key in the ignition rather than jabbing me in an awkward spot.

Know what you mean about old habits dying hard. I have two fobs because I drive two different vehicles almost 50/50 and the "gobs of fobs" can be a pain carrying around. I know I could go to just using the key on one of the vehicles but Mazda doesn't let you separate the key from fob. Oh such problems all this convenience makes.

I can get a V6 2009 Mazda6 Sport Automatic from Brown's for $18,460 plus TTL.
 
This includes destination, but also includes Mazda Loyalty Bonus of $1000.
 
Car doesn't have leather, nav, etc, and MSRP is just a tad south of $27k.

That looks like a great deal. Brown's lists their prices and I dont see anything as good as that. Would you share with us how you got that price?

Hey twing.
 
I called them and had to do some haggling. I asked them to beat or at least match a Fitzmall car, and the salesmen did, by $200.
 
Again, this includes the grand Mazda is giving me for being a current owner.
 
The salesman was very honest and told me that they aren't selling very many cars at all, and that the V6 is selling worse than the last gen V6 did. I assume this is just because the economy is so much worse, and not because the car is. He said most of the cars they are selling are used and under 8 grand.
 
I do think some hardcore Mazda fans are disappointed that Mazda went Camcord big in proportions with the new 6.
 
I, for one, am not. We want a larger car with a larger trunk. It's hard for us to get the stroller in my wife's Nissan Altima but it fits in the new 6 just fine - it would have never, ever fit in the last gen 6.
