It isn't Mazda by ruefus

Mazda isn't screwing around with the pricing. No way. In many ways, it isn't up to them anymore. The DEALER owns the car now. Selling price for all intents and purposes is at the dealer's discretion.
 
MSRP is just that - SUGGESTED retail pricing.

$500 over invoice by bangadrum5

I did all my research here and KBB.com. I went to one dealer and they told me the price would be MSRP on the 6s w/sport package, automatic, moonroof, leather, Bose, side airbags/side air curtains, wheel locks, and the comfort package. I walked out. I went to another dealer and told them I would not pay MSRP and they asked what do I want to pay. I told them $500 over invoice. They said $1000 I said $750. But they wouldn't waiver. So I put a deposit on the car to hold it. Then I called where a friend of mine had just purchased a Tribute. I spoke with that salesman she had dealt with and told him I had test driven the car and that I had a written quote for $500 over invoice. He said he would match it. So I went there Saturday and my Steel Gray 6s should arrive in a week to ten days. If you are up front with the dealer they will usually accommodate you. $500 over invoice benefits us both, they still make a profit and have a customer who for one is happy and two will recomend them to friends.

user 'mcadrecha' is right on!! by badtranny999

Message #3 of this forum perfectly addresses the fatal problem with the 6. Mazda dealers are dealing, but Accord dealers are dealing MORE. A lot more. It's gonna kill the 6. User 'mcadrecha' literally saved thousands over the 6 with his Accord purchase.........let's face it: if the 6 is more expensive than the Accord, even by a few hundred bucks, people will buy the Accord. End of story.

Houston Prices by bbrs617

I bought my Mazda 6, yesterday. This is what I got...White Mazda6, V6, Auto, Sport Pack., black Leather, Comfort Pack, Sunroof, Mirror W/ Homelink, Cargo Net, and Wheel Locks. I wanted the Bose system as well but they could not find one to purchase now. Most dealers here in Houston were not discounting the 6's except for two. One was taking 2% off of MSRP (LOL) and the other was 3% over invoice (not bad)considering. I went down to the dealer and he showed me the invoice price and it was within a few dollars of what Edmunds said it was. This was it, no advertising fees, no dealer prep charges. To top that off everyone gets a free tank of gas and every other oil change is free. Don't know what the price is for the oil change I have to pay for yet but will let you know. The dealer is Jeff Hass Mazda.

May I ask what is the manufacturer's recommended oil change interval? Every 5000 miles or 7500?

Mazda Canada says 8.000kmn - 5.000 miles for all their vehicles.
 
I do it every 4.000kms - 2.500 miles in my PRO.

Pricing. by fjb323

1, If you are happy with $500.00 or $600.00 or whatever over invoice BUY IT!. I did have a doctor on a Millennia Lease that had gone to 6 or 7 dealers and wrote a 36 month lease with me only because he wanted to know that he saved a dollar a month. This is not being either cost effective or logical.
2, A word of caution as to postings in the "What did you pay?" forums, specifically Honda and Mazda, I've seen figures that were pure nonsense, $2,000.00 and $3,000.00 behind invoice on units that were 2003 and hard to find OR that have not even been released by the manufacturer.

Supplier discount pricing... by mazdamarla
Jan 20, 2003 (10:12 am)
Reply
Just wondering...anyone who qualifies for a Supplier (or Employee) Discount, ever have the dealer refuse to participate? I was talking to a guy at work whose wife bought a Protege5 or whatever, last year. He said they went to a dealer about 45 minutes away because the local dealer refused to honor the Supplier Discount price because the car was so new. So they went to another dealer and THEY honored the discount. Anyone else had this happen?

I think participation is voluntary. by mazdafun

However, all the Mazda dealers in my area do (for instance, they all advertise being S-plan participants, but the area is chock full of people who qualify through their employers). Competition helps.
