#822 of 1753 Bought mine today by riceman Oct 25, 2004 (6:33 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 8:31 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 8:48 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.

Replying to: jimbflo (Oct 04, 2004 8:34 am) Sorry I dind't get back sooner. I didn't notice your message....have you bought the car by chance? If not, just note that you have seen deals that are $3,000 under invoice after rebate and you will keep looking if necessary. The best tactic is to walk out I have found. Every time, I have done that, they have called back with a better deal. If they don't call within a couple of days - then it is probably because they are at their bottom or, the buyer is too low, and don't think they will come up at all. I have had that happen to me as well.

Replying to: audia8q (Oct 26, 2004 4:02 pm) It may be a regional thing, but it definitely isn't something the dealers advertise. This is something I stumbled on when I was soliciting to different dealers and one of them said that they got $750 back from Mazda.   In my conversation with him, I inquired about the rebates on October 1 changing. At that time he said they went up for the consumer, and down for the dealer.   He told me that it was $2250 for the consumer, and $750 to the dealer - he was the only one to tell me about that. When other dealers came to me to solicit my business I said I had a pretty good deal through this one dealer and noted the $750 to the dealer he was passing on to me.   I am in Texas, so it may be different here than there, but if you push on it you may find out that they have that sort of rebate. Maybe give the guy some song and dance about going to another state that has this incentive - it may get them to loosen the wallet a little and provide you more information.
#828 of 1753 $750 by suydam Oct 27, 2004 (6:31 am)
You may be referring to the amount Mazda gives the dealer if the buyer enthusiastically gives them a thumbs up when they get surveyed after buying the car. In that case, it's contingent on the buyer liking the buying experience and isn't automatic.   $3000 under invoice seems terrific but maybe not all areas of the country can do so well. It probably depends on how many '04s are left on the lot and how badly the dealer wants to get rid of them. I would say try for it, but if you wind up anywhere around $1500 - $2000 under invoice you'll probably be pretty satisfied. Keep in mind the '05s will probably be higher and there will be less incentive for the dealer to bargain on them. This is a great time of year to buy a car.

Replying to: suydam (Oct 27, 2004 6:31 am) I agree with your statement. However, I think that $2000 under invoice should be automatic because the standard rebate is $2,250, and the TMV is only a couple of hundred over invoice.   The 05's are coming on the lot - definitely - hopefully it will help incentivise the dealers to liquidate the 04's. Especially if their lot is full of cars and they don't have anywhere to put the 05's.   Right now is a tricky time of year to be buying an 04 because the longer you wait, the higher the incentive, but at the same time the selection dwindles - so you may end up with something that isn't exactly what you want if you wait too long.

Escort says..."I think that $2000 under invoice should be automatic because the standard rebate is $2,250"   The current consumer rebate is $1500 not $2250.   Remember....not all incentives cover the entire country and this "secret" rebate your talking about may have qualifiers. So when your throwing around numbers of what somebody should or shouldn't pay take into consideration you may be basing your numbers on incentives that may false or phoney in regions other than yours....

Replying to: audia8q (Oct 28, 2004 9:06 am) You could be right there. I guess it is pretty amazing to think that in Texas I can get a $2250 rebate to consumer, plus a $750 rebate from the dealer, and other areas you can only get $1500. When I spoke to the dealer before he said that the incentive increased from $1500 to $2250, but the incentive to the dealer went down so it was a wash.   I would imagine that you may be able to get more than the $1500 even in areas where they were only offering $1500.   Anyway....do what you want, all I know is that if I buy one it will likely be for $3,500 below invoice. (including my college grad rebate)   Shoot, the fact that the incentive difference could be $1500 - that boarders on arbatrage possibilities.
