The big difference is the 04 is a 5 speed automatic, and the 05 is a 6 speed automatic. I have read a few different people saying that there is a big difference between the shifting and response of the two models.
 
If I were purchasing an automatic, I would probably pay the extra for an 05. - but that's just me.
 
what sort of options are you looking to have on the car?

I am looking for power windows, locks, moonroof, leather (although I can live without). anything else is a plus. The guy at the dealership said he would give me the car at 500 above Factory listing as well as $3500 in rebates ($500 for recent college grad) all this cost me?
 
Also, looking at the consul, I think I would be tough to add my own stereo to it. Anyone else have this problem??

I am in almost the same perdiciment as you are. Everything you have asked for except the moonroof and Leather is standard. The problem with the Moonroof is - I haven't seen any of the cars that have a moonroof, but no Bose system - If I found one in the color I like, that would be the one I would buy.
 
As far as the stereo is concerned, I have been told it is nearly impossible to add a different stereo. Things like - keeping the car for a month to create a special fiberglass console came up. However, I read some other people's messages that have said that the stock stereo is really good, and you can add different speakers to the system and it sounds really good. If I were to get one with the stock stereo, I would get a 5 Channel Amp (or similar) and add my own Sub and run all the speakers through that thing and It would sound really good. However, I don't think there are any RCA's on the back of the stereo.
 
As far as the price is concerned, you got me - I think various regions have different costs. Where I am at, I have basically told them I won't discuss anything over Invoice pricing, and they have quickly come down. The rebates sound right though. You should ask them if they have the $1000 MAC rebate too. Right now if you finance through Mazda you get an extra $1000 - but, that ins't nationwide.

Almost forgot-
 
Hall Mazda in Virginia Beach- Complete opposite-
 
They even tried to put in "Window Etching", and
Pin stripping for additional $500.
 
Casey was a 35 minute drive to save thousands, with none of this despicable sales tactics like Hall.

Thoughts on Offer by reborn

This is the offer I've been given:
04 Mazda6 Sedan 6 series
Automatic
 
This car has a rear wing spoiler even though it isn't on the options and the price anywhere.
 
They made a mistake on their webpage offering a rebate (2750) that expired on Jan 3 saying they will honor it (rebate now is 2250).
 
The car has 1600 miles which they are knocking off $300 for. I have no idea if that's a good deal.
 
The deal was for Invoice + $300 which is $21,472 according to the invoice sheet he showed me and about right with Edmunds.
 
So $21,472 - $300 (miles) - $2750 (rebate) - $1000 (MAC rebate hopefully I can get) - $500 (grad rebate) = $16,922
 
The doc fee and other fees seem right.
 
So any thoughts on this deal? The car looks great and sounds good with the breaks I'm getting, just worried about the mileage (first time buyer).

2004 6s purchase by riship

Bought the car in Houston a month ago. 23,065 was sticker. Got a dealer discount of 2150 which is about 400 below invoice. Rebate of 2750, college grad reabte of 500 and MAC financing rebate of 1000. Total paid was 16,665. That's a total discount of $6400. Had to pay a $50 doc fee, but that's pretty standard in Houston.
 
Rebate is now 500 (2250)less in gulf states, but there is 750 dealer incentive. Other regions have 3000 rebate with no dealer incentives. In general I'd say that invoice minus all rebates and dealer incentives is a fair deal on an 04.

I think you got the sports package. What other things come with the car.
 
16K sound like a good deal to me BTW
