Thanks to all of you for the education! We just bought on Wednesday here in OK and got 2500 Rebate plus 1000 MAC cash and 800 over blue book (1800) on our blue book purchased Explorer for trade. I think...if I am understanding yall's talk about S-plan that we beat it? MSRP was 25.5 and we financed 17.4 with 2500 down. I almost walked when they raised the interest at the finance table but took 7.4 with plans to refinance. They told us we had to wait 6 months before we could. I will be scouring my contract and get back to everyone. Zoom-Zoom

I am a newbee to this forum but I am not a newbee to Mazdas, had a 626, 929, and currently have a Tribute.
 
I am looking at 04 Mazda 6 s 5-Door with luxury package and wheel locks, MSRP $25,285. Since I have just begun looking I have no access to either invoice pricing or incentives that may apply. It is my understanding that dealers "claim" them on unsold vehicles prior to their expiration so they should apply on this car. They are advertising discounts of $4000 on 05 models so the 04s must be greater. Could someone take a shot at a reasonable offering price for this car? I live in the plains states and I graduated from grad school in 72 so I am not eligible for college grad, lol. I do own a Tribute if owners loyalty may apply. My thoughts are that if they are offering $4000 from MSRP on 05s they should be looking at about $6000 on 04s. I would appreciate any thoughts.

I tell you what....I bought mine just over a week ago, and as soon as I get my registration papers I am going to refinance.
 
I have heard anything from 1-month (just to allow enough time for registration etc.) to 3- months, and now 6-months. I don't know what the contract actually says, but mine doesn't even elude to any prepayment penaltys or, the fact that I have to not refinance for a while. To me it is open season if it doesn't say anything in the contract.

billsbuddie,
 
I just bought a 2004 wagon with Sport package and 5-speed automatic. It had a sticker price of 24,451. The advertised price in the Washington Post last Sunday was 15,993, excluding freight. The total discount was 8,000 from sticker, including all incentives and dealer discounts. This should give you a good target price. The dealer I'd bought my 2003 6 from couldn't match this price; they said the selling dealer was taking a loss. So be it - they do this sometimes for the sake of getting people into the showroom.

billsbuddie: $6,000 off 04 MSRP's is not unreasonable, if you include the $3,000 Mazda-sponsored cash rebate to dealers; and also the $1,000 additional rebate for financing through Mazda (which you can pay off at will without penalty). That's about the deal I got two weeks ago. You should be looking at $18,000 or so for a Mazda6 "s" with basic sports package, or a little more if other options are incldued, But nothing anywhere near $25,000 (or even $20,000 unless the car is loaded). Good luck. Mitchjack

Loupie and Mitchjack:
 
Thanks for your input. I have been finding prices that are about $6000 off of MSRP. I started out looking at 05 Mazda 3s and sort of switched after I drove a 6. Anyone else have any recent experience I am sure several of us could benefit from it. I am now planning on waiting until the 31st to try to close the deal. The only problem that I may have is if they sell the car I am interested in. As they say, "when they are gone they are gone".

That is the problem I came into when I bought one....they sold the one I REALLY wanted, and there was only one left that I pretty much wanted (different interior color) - so I figured I should get it now, instead of trying to save another $200 or so, or I would end up with one that had completely different options on it...

I am replying to my own message with an update. The final offer was actually $6000 off of INVOICE not MSRP on an 04 Mazda 6. I did not "do the deal" because the 6 is actually more car than I wanted. It is difficult to accept that the larger more expensive car actully can cost less to buy. If anyone is interested in this car now is surely the time to make a great deal

Is $21K out the door a good price? by mslish

I'm in the Wash. D.C. area and a dealer is offering me $21K including taxes, tags, etc. for a new 2004 V-6 hatchback, automatic, Bose CD changer, sunroof, and side air bags (no luxury package). My original plan was to by used, as I would rather let someone else take the first year depreciation hit, but the used V-6 market is pretty thin here. So, should I take the deal or wait for some good useds to come onto the market? Thankfully, my '94 Altima w/ 100k miles is holding up ok, but it's time for something newer.
 
Thanks,
Alisha

You are right about the market being pretty thin on used v6 models. I am in the Houston area and I found that I was able to get a BETTER deal for a new 2004 than a used 2004 right now. Anyone that gets one used isn't able to offer the $4,000+ rebates that the new dealers are getting.
 
THat seems like a fair deal to me. I got mine for about $17,000 without any options but the Sports package, but I had a trade in, so my sales taxes were only $250 - I would imagine you are paying closer to $1200 in sales tax. So, in essence it seems like you are paying about $3,000 for all of those options.....I think each of those options is something like....$700 H/B + $700 Auto + $550 Bose + $550 Moonroof + $450 Airbags = $2950.....
