I was trying to trade my 2004 mazda6 sport in all dealers were only offering $14000. The car has 11000 miles on it,color is pebble ash, v6,sport package,rear spoiler,5 speed, no leather, no bose, no moon roof.no scratches or marks. NADA says $16800 trade,$19525 retail Edmunds says $14900 trade,$16257 retail Black book said $14000 trade. These seem very low, I have decided to sell it myself and start at $18500, does this sound about right and should I ask more or less?

Replying to: mijfl (Feb 17, 2005 9:34 pm) I concur with the $16,000 offer....one thing to consider however, the net difference will only be about $1000 if you get $16,000 for it - reason being, if you trade it in, you only have to pay sales tax on the difference in the two car prices. If you sell it on the street, you no longer have a trade in so you are paying sales tax on the whole value of the new car. If you are leasing - you may as well just trade it in. That is what I found, because if you are leasing and want to sell it to a private party - you have to buy it from the leasing company (and pay sales tax on the car) - then the person you want to sell the car to has to pay sales tax on the car they are buying from you, and you have to pay sales tax on your new car from the dealership.

you are right about the materials quality. It sort of sucks - in a sense. The interior roofing material is definitely cheap - you can tell it is from a FORD - and not their high end fords. The seat material is weird in my opinion - yet I really like the car. I had a Jetta before this one and in essence, you can tell where they focused their money in design and manufacturing. I find the details of the Jetta to be much better - materials quality, some minor functionality, such as the auto window roll up etc. However, where I have found Mazda to excel is in the major areas of the car - the handling and ride quality is much smoother than I anticipated. I knew it would ride smoother vertically, but it also seems to have tighter handling from side to side. Maybe future Mazda6 cars will be able to capitalize on these design features, and focus on improved materials quality on the interior. |

About a month ago a discussion was taking place on the requirements for getting the MAZDA financing $1000 credit on the 6. I purchased one, and recently refinanced the car. I didn't even have to make one payment on the car. I Purchased it on Jan 16, and it has already been refinanced through my credit union. I just checked my account with MAC and they don't have a record of my account. In the end, the $1000 credit was probably closer to $900 credit because it was a higher interest rate than my refinance - so there was additional interest - but obviously well worth it. |

Replying to: tweet651983 (Feb 17, 2005 10:21 pm) I will dump this car for a huge loss and never again will I buy another ford/mazda. I paid $21500 and now this car is worth $16000?? I traded in my impala and made money, I wish I still had my Impala!! Does Chevrolet have that much better holding value??? and no I am not a GM lover, just that this was supposed to be mazda's big answer and it sucks. So now I sit here loosing $5000? Let me tell you about this car Mazda's idea of traction control, when wheel spins shut motor down, what a joke!!. radio, absoluty sucks, static and mild distortion all the time and no after market kit(this is another indication mazda does not give a crapt about support) performance , I have no power unless I am at 4-5000 rpm's, I think Mazda is again incorrect on performance ratings(they have been incorrect before,Mazda Miata???) and quality I bby my vehicles so bad, but i doo have to say wheels have marks on( and I never hit curbs,CHEAP quality) and interior does feel cheap. |
