#213 of 1747 6s San Diego by jbhogen Aug 05, 2003 (10:04 pm)
Got my 6s manual tonight in San Diego, alright Escondido, comfort, leather, sunroof, Steel Grey. I could have done w/o the sunroof, but otherwise it was the way I wanted it. Price was $19,600 with the $2500 in discounts--dealer still made some money, but I was happy with the no hassle deal they gave me.   Drove home with supportive wife (who isn't yet comfortable with a stick, but promises to master it yet!).

Visited one of the few Mazda dealers in my area last night. Still no deals on the few vehicles left with the sports pkg. In fact not much willingness to deal on any 6 period.
#215 of 1747 Mazda 6 purchase by sevenseas Aug 13, 2003 (12:23 am)
I purchased a 2003 Mazda 6s on Tuesday, 8/12/03 from Galpin Mazda of Van Nuys, CA. I had a particular one of interest using Mazda's inventory search feature. The salesman Duke Maltin and I drove to a secure lot where he had a very large inventory of Mazda 6's and RX-8's. We located the partcular 6 with features I wanted.   After a test drive, in which Duke educated me on the features of the 6, I expressed interest in purchasing the vehicle. I was asked what I wanted to pay, which I replied $600 over invoice and to qualify for 0% financing. I told Duke I felt this was a fair price for a 2003 model being sold in August and that I was sure the dealership wanted to clear their 2003 inventory to make room for their 2004 models. After filling out a credit application and a quick discussion Duke had with his manager I was counter offered at $645 over invoice with the 0% financing. I accepted the offer.   Added an additional $200 for the installation and cost of the sport grill and $600 for LoJack. I discovered the LoJack warranty was for 2 years. An inquiry to LoJack revealed a lifetime warranty would cost an additional $99, which I agreed.   The sport grill was in stock but took longer than expected to install. I was given a free lunch at their own restaurant and after my meal I needed to wait an additional 90 minutes. Salesman Duke was apologetic for the delay which included wax and polish.   Overall I would rate the experience excellent.   Lapis Blue Mazda 6s automatic transmission moonroof Bose Leather Comfort Sport Grill LoJack   Kelly Blue Book invoice = $23,031 (not including LoJack) Edmunds invoice 22,944 (not including LoJack)   Price paid $24,679 (including $645 dealer profit, $694 LoJack and sport grill installation at $200), which is a few hundred over KBB or Edmunds quoted prices. I did not ask the dealership to see the invoice for this particular car.   I believe what really makes this a good deal is the 0% financing. I was already approved at my credit union for an auto loan at what I believe was 4.9%.   Amount financed $23,475 60 month loan at 0%= $391.25 60 month loan at 4.9%= $441.93 difference of $3000 over the life of the loan
#216 of 1747 vkar - 6i pricing by thegreatvudini Aug 13, 2003 (9:54 am)
vkar.   where do you live? Here in No. CA, they are advertising 6i's 10% off MSRP. That's before the loyalty and rebate/0% financing.
#217 of 1747 I got my MZ6s on Aug-6-2003 by chikoo Aug 14, 2003 (12:03 pm)
It sure is one of a kind. honestly. No dealer within a 300 mile radius had anything like it. Credit goes to MazdaUSA online inventory search. I located the car on 29-july-2003 and called up the dealer, only to find out that the car is still "en-route" or as they say "inbound". I put a deposit of $500 down using my credit card, right there on the phone. The car arrived on Tuesday 5-aug-2003. I went to the dealership on 6-aug-2003 and picked it up. All the paperwork was ready, including my 0% financing. Great job by the saleperson Janno and John Rios of Irwin(Richards) Mazda, Freehold, NJ. I was driving my Mz6 within the hour, back home.   Details: ======= Glacier silver metallic. V6 Manual transmission App. Pkg. Rear wing spoiler Gray leather + comfort (no black for me...ughh) 6-cd changer (sounds way better than single cd player) moonroof fog lamps cargo net wheel locks   All from the factory. nothing dealer installed.   Price paid: 23,000 even (including TTL)   No trade-in.
#218 of 1747 what's good/fair over this invoice? by brozhnik Aug 14, 2003 (8:51 pm)
I'd like to get a Mazda6i with automatic trans; side-curtain airbags; ABS and traction control; and cassette. Using figures at Edmunds and Kelly, I calculate an invoice price of $17885. (I'm figuring the $1500 cash incentive into that, and destination/regional charges.) (TMV, according to Edmunds, is $18634 with the cashback. )   I have NOT added the 5% sales tax and.... whatever profit the dealer gets (how much should that be above invoice?). On the other hand, i haven't figured the 2% dealer holdback (about $373 if I figured right, but apparently not a bargaining chip?). Adding it all up, though, how much should I be willing to pay, fairly, for out-the-door including taxes, fees, profit, licensing etc.? Thanks!
#219 of 1747 Everyone get's invoice??!!!! by jnorth1a Aug 21, 2003 (6:47 am)
I'm a little surprised to hear almost everyone on this message board claim that they paid invoice (or barely over invoice) for their new Mazda6. Either everyone here is worthy of fixing the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, or Mazda is running itself out of business. I DID get invoice because of the Ford Partner program, and felt good about it not having to do any negotiating. Now I'm wondering if I would have been better off without it. Was there some promotion that I missed, "the 2003 Mazda Invoice Price Promotion!"   Just a thought...
#220 of 1747 Invoice Pricing by carpbflo Aug 21, 2003 (7:20 am)
I just purchased my Mazda 6i this week. I also was able to use the S-Plan for a Non-Sports Package model. I also was able to get the $1,250 Loyalty Rebate and the 0% financing. The only room for negotiating was on my trade-in and that was difficult because I was already getting invoice pricing on the car. I was able to get them up a bit and now that I look back on the deal, it was a steal. I wouldn't worry that some people are able to negotiate down to invoice price, while we were getting S-Plan price. All is good as long as you get a great car in the end, which is what I believe I have got.   2003 Mazda 6i - Onyx Black/Gray Cloth Automatic Premium Package ABS/Traction Control Rear Wing Spoiler MSRP - $21,200 S-Plan - $19,396 + $375(Spoiler) Rebate - $1,250 Net Price - $18,521   After a few days, this car exceeds my expectations!
#221 of 1747 Mazda 6 prices by otoluva Aug 21, 2003 (9:40 am)
Now, even the S MT models with sport pkg are being discounted, check fitzmall.com, I believe it was something like $400 over invoice the last time I looked.
