#815 of 1769 Re: 6s sport package [kijjo] by ramped Oct 14, 2004 (12:59 pm)
Replying to: kijjo (Oct 13, 2004 7:00 pm) Fairbanks is a high-pressure store. Not the kind of place you want to walk into without knowing exactly what you want and how much it costs. I was there about the same time as you in '03 shortly after the MZ6 came out, and it was a zoo.   I worked with a nice salesman at Classic South around Memorial Day, told him what I wanted, but he never made a move to locate a car. I found this car on the web and did the negotiating over the phone. Had my credit union loan locked up when I walked in. Things went about as smooth as possible. There were a couple of moments where I sensed they were going to try something, but I was adamant that our original deal be honored and they obliged. I think they need sales too badly, after the hurricanes, to play games.   They delivered what they promised, and I didn't get the mop and glo pitch from the F&I guy.
#816 of 1769 Buying in Jersey by elsapoone Oct 20, 2004 (6:47 pm)
I'm looking into purchasing the Mazda 6s soon, but don't want to hassle with dealers who are unprofessional or too pushy. I live in Jersey City and want to know if anyone out there can suggest any dealers in the area who they've done business with before. -Much appreciated!

Replying to: elsapoone (Oct 21, 2004 7:31 am) I'm sorry I can't recommend a dealer from your area as I live in Florida.   As far as price, if you are buying the 6s sedan, the sticker with the options you have listed is somewhere in the $27,500 range.   The TMV is high. It generally takes a few weeks for all transactions to be factored into the TMV. This late in the 04 model year, with the 05s arriving, you can and should do better on the 04 model.   Including the $1,500 rebate, you should expect a dealer to subtract anywhere from $4,500 to $5,000 off the sticker. Of course, you then add back in local taxes and fees. Remember that Mazda also offers a $500 recent college graduate rebate.   My advice is to make an out the door offer, inclusive of all taxes and fees, to several dealers in your area. I think one of them will bite if they have the car in stock.   Good luck. Replies to this message: elsapoone (Oct 21, 2004 4:06 pm)

Replying to: ramped (Oct 21, 2004 7:51 am) Thanks for the advice and info. It's been pretty nerve racking making my first car purchase. I just don't want to go in blind. I'll post my experience afterwards. -Adios!
#820 of 1769 Suggestions on what to offer by tinnings Oct 25, 2004 (5:57 am)
Found a used 2004 Mazda 6 Wagon, blue with 8000 miles. According to dealer they bought at auction. Car is in great shape, except the inside of back hatch is scratch and marked, and the cargo cover is slightly creased. Options include luxury package, sport package, Bose audio, rear spoiler, side airbags, cargo net. MSRP, new is 27,500.   Dealer is asking 22,295. Considering that I could buy this same car new at or near invoice with rebates for approximately 23,500, what should I offer? The car has depreciated for almost a year and has those dings on the back door. I think this car "out the door" is closer to 18,750-19,500. Also the car has been sitting in the lot for at least a month.   Could anyone suggest an offer? Thanks for the help Replies to this message: suydam (Oct 25, 2004 6:37 am)

Replying to: tinnings (Oct 25, 2004 5:57 am) the price is definitely too high. That's more than what I paid 2 weeks for a 2004 wagon with 30 miles on it (and I put 15 of them on it myself test driving it). On the other hand, the '05's aren't out yet, and around here dealers are still asking full price on new '04s (but knocking at least $4000 off the sticker price when you negotiate). But that being said, why would buyers pay full price for one with 8000 k when they can still get them new for less miles? I wouldn't pay more than $20,000 for sure. Your offer of $19,500 seems fair. I can't imagine another buyer snapping it up for more than that. By the weekend (end of the month) your dealer might be more reasonable.
#822 of 1769 Bought mine today by riceman Oct 25, 2004 (5:33 pm)
Just purchased a 2004 6s V6 5 Door with 5 spd sport AT, Luxury pkg, Moonroof/deflector, side bags/curtains, Bose, All-weather mats + cargo mat- MSRP $28230. paid $22,999. incl rebate from Quirk in Quincy, MA Nice deal, nice car, good salesman. They have lots of inventory; most other dealers had few '04s and were waiting for '05s to dribble in. Looked at a lot of other cars for much more money (Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, Nissan) but the Mazda has them beat hands down in terms of value/bang for the buck. Zoom, Zoom!

Replying to: elsapoone (Oct 21, 2004 7:31 am) I am not sure where you are from but I am in the process of negotiating for a mazda6 myself (but I am hung out to dry on the trade in of my current car), but I think I have been pretty successful in the negotiations and here is what I have been able to accomplish:   -Any of the cars at invoice before rebate. The rebate is $2,250 to the seller. In addition, the dealer is getting a $750 kickback from Mazda, which Edmunds ins't showing. I have had several dealers say they can match that price. Therefore, take the invoice price and subtract $3K....I think you could accomplish that value if you play your cards right. I have always had the best luck by going through the internet fleet manager via e-mail.   If you are a new college grad, tack another $500 onto that. One thing I have had them try to confuse me with is the difference between them and the manufacturer. They are different, so the incentives to the Manuf. don't cut into their profit margin at all.   Also, new incentives come out on Nov. 1 - which are likely to increase.

Replying to: jpzenger (Oct 05, 2004 7:48 am) What is your source for the 2% holdback on the car? I am in the process of negotiating for a mazda6, and everything I can get will help me out.
