#293 of 1773 My 6s by thegreatvudini Sep 08, 2003 (9:07 am)
The way I got my 6s is pretty circuitous. First, the particulars: * Speed Yellow (yeah, baby!) * AT, V6 * Roof, Bose, Leather-Comfort * Appearance (but no rear spoiler, bummer)   MSRP $26,055 Invoice $23,611 I paid invoice + TTL, less $1000 loyalty rebate, less $250 Mazda credit, less $250 RevItUp coupon (Thanks, miata10!).   Now the crazy story. I first located it in Merced (120 miles) from SF-SJ Bay Area. Since it was so far away, I didn't really consider it, but the inventory of Yellow s's here was dwindling fast. In late August, I found it at Menlo Mazda, right up the peninsula (22 miles away). Drove right up to see it. Turns out, it was already traded to another dealer in Salinas (80 mi. to the South). Offered invoice. The salesguy personally went down to drive it back to his dealership. Total damage: 310 miles on odo. My wife and I didn't like it too much, but I figured the total trips it traveled from/to the 3 different dealerships accounted for 120+80+80= at least 280 miles. Only some 30 miles are unaccounted for. I know the last 80 (from Salinas to Redwood City) was in good hands, since my salesman was a really nice guy. All in all, a super experience on a super car. BTW, does anyone have any suggestion on how much it would cost to add a spoiler? vudini

Forgot to mention. All this and 0% financing for 5 years (which I chose over the $1500 rebate). Savings over the normal 4% loan over 5 years would be around $2,500.
#295 of 1773 As a follow up to my post (#255) by wenreder1 Sep 08, 2003 (2:47 pm)
As I wrote in Post #255, I visited my local (Tampa, Florida) Mazda Dealer the Saturday before Labor Day (8/30) and they had NO clue (or at least played dumb) to '04 Mazda6's. I was dead serious that day as I sat in front of the Manager, with my downloaded (.pdf) '04 price / option sheet and I came with checkbook in hand, ready to place an order and drop down a deposit. Well obviously I didn't place an '04 order, but I DID tell him other people I read about on the Mazda6 Forum in edmunds.com have placed their orders and I think that some Dealer in Santa Cruz (?), CA already HAS 04's on their lot. Well four days later (Thurs. 9/4) I get a call from the Dealer in Tampa and he says he has "great news" for me !! He will be able to start taking orders for '04's in about SIX WEEKS, around mid-October. I said.... but didn't you hear me when I told you people in California have already placed orders and I think they may actually HAVE 04's on their floor right now !! He told me that California is the "Port of Entry" and naturally they will get them first. I reminded him that the Mazda6's are MADE IN U.S.A. (Michigan ?) and what is he talking about ?? He said if I am interested, to call him in six weeks, and he quickly said goodbye. Am I confused ?? Do I have WRONG FACTS ???? Am I just dreaming this up ?? I will be the first to admit I am wrong, but PLEASE.... someone out there.... please give me the FACTS on ordering 04's !! (and if ANY Florida Mazda Dealers are reading THIS, please contact me and I'll drive over tomorrow and place an order for my '04 !!)
#296 of 1773 Good Internet Experience by kannon Sep 08, 2003 (3:35 pm)
We bought our 6i a few weeks ago from Faulkner Mazda in Philadelphia. They were one of the few that had a 6i with SAB/SAC. Did all negotiations via email. Can't say enough good things about the experience. Got the car for $100 over invoice with college rebate and 0% interest. I drove up there on a Thursday nite, got in late but the sales people stayed after closing to get the car ready for my drive home. Highly recommend them.

My math is fine. I just described it poorly. MSRP was $24,820. I got the $1500 rebate. Invoice including $150 marketing allocation $22,710. I paid $23,060 plus TTL. Bottom line: it was $350 over invoice. BTW, it was the last V5 5 spd at the dealership without the Sport Package.
#298 of 1773 So you paid over invoice? by blueguydotcom Sep 08, 2003 (9:35 pm)
I'm baffled, did you pay over invoice then? Why? If there's a rebate of $1500 and it's the end of the year the car should cost about $1500 under invoice - so around 21,210 or thereabouts.
#299 of 1773 wenreder1 by hokiedog Sep 09, 2003 (4:46 am)
Already mentioned this in the Mazda6 forum, but my local dealerships both claim that they won't place their first order for 04s until this month.   Of course, the dealership started telling you lies when you started pressing them... I'd avoid em if you have a choice.
#300 of 1773 Any More Deals...? by dmbfan Sep 09, 2003 (2:13 pm)
Has anyone heard if there will be any more deals on 03's? The website points out that the current one ended on 9/8.
#301 of 1773 on carsdirect.com by thegreatvudini Sep 09, 2003 (2:32 pm)
however, their pricing indicates that rebates are valid thru 9/30!
#302 of 1773 Checking rebates etc by arib0nd Sep 10, 2003 (3:37 pm)
You can call 1-800-639-1000 to find out for sure what rebates are being offered by Mazda.   Ari
