#30 of 536 2003 MPV LX by steppwolf Oct 20, 2003 (8:52 am)
Purchased '03 LX at Sunflower Mazda in Lenexa, KS on 10/18. All seasons pkg, wheel locks, roof rack, moonroof . . . sticker $26,045. Discounts and rebate brought down to $21,328 before taxes.   I'd been driving a '91 Toyota Previa (original owner). That was a very serviceable vehicle and still has some life in it. Buying decision included test drives of Odyssey and Sienna, as well as some SUV's. MPV seemd the best fit for my situation (overall family utility + economy + reliability + price), and I found the driving position/seat comfort to be the best of the lot for me. The MPV's handling is a bonus in the equation.   Hope this vehicle turns out to be as sound a long-term investment as the Previa was.

#33 of 536 How Not to buy a MPV by charlontario Oct 25, 2003 (10:33 pm)
My husband and I purchased a new 2004 mpv dx Sand Mica colour with convience package, your basic model with automatic locks on Sept. 30 2003. Last day for sale msp $27500 cad sale $24795 cad. We were told by our sales agent the price would not be lower. I really tried to get him to lower the price but he could't do it. His hands were tied. Looking back on it why I didn't think of course it would be lower as each day the car gets older. Hindsight can be cruel.   The dealership gave us $1000 for our 92 Previa, really rough shape 214 km and tailgate was very rusted. We, like fools took the extras such as rust proofing, special shine and glass tint. Paid $29786.00 cad. On Oct. 3 there was an ad in the Toronto Star same van sale price $22995.00   I was sick. Felt like I sold down the river. A sucker. At first our dealership said it wasn't the same van. It was. Said couldn't really do anything. The deal was done on Sept. 30, month end.   My husband said you can make this right.You can do something. Spoke to Mazda Canada who suggested we write a letter which we were doing when we got a call 3 days later. The manager called offering us the extended warranty, 7 yrs 160 km. Value $1610.00 plus pst and gst 15%. We took it but I still feel stupid. Lesson learned.   I thought I did my homework by reading up on these sites but I was looking at resale then decided why not go for brand new. I have never had a brand new car. Always had used. Now I feel used.   But I will get over it. I do like the way the van rides although I have noticed the jerky feeling it has sometime from 2 to 3. Is that just because it is new? Only have 520 km. I had thought the gas mileage would be better, it seems like the fuel gauge moves down with each mile. Is tis beacuse it is new?   After reading all the great deals some people got I will make sure I do better next time.
#34 of 536 I'm confused here ... by lazyfox Oct 25, 2003 (10:52 pm)
Did you get 2003 model or 2004 model?
#35 of 536 How not to buy a car..again by charlontario Oct 27, 2003 (7:09 am)
I had bought a 2003 MPV not 2004. Sorry about that. The dealer said he did not know that the price would be advertised at a new lower rate. Mazda Canada controls those big sales, so the dealer said. This I know can be possible as I work in sales and sometime ads come out and you really do have no prior knowledge but part of me still wonders.   I feel I have been zoomed zoomed.

Seeing the best/lowest price on the paper doesn't mean anything. Firstly, only "1" ad car is available, it may have been sold long before your call or visit, it may be not the color you like, it may be some fine prints, like college grad discount that you may not be qualified. Afterall there can be ONLY 1 person bought this ad car and the rest owners bought a little higher or similar price. In October Mazda rebate is $2500usd compared with Sept $2000usd, extra $500usd bargain. Don't feel so sick as long as your price is close to that ad car.

I bought the mpv in 9/29 with Mazda's $2000 rebate, I would have wait till Oct if I knew Mazda rebate in Oct is $500 more. See my point?
#38 of 536 how not buy a car again.. by charlontario Oct 28, 2003 (6:57 pm)
How kind of you to suggest that maybe there was just the "1" ad. There was no grad discount either and the later the following week there were more ads. The ad was very specific, MPV DX with convience package. $22995.00 cad and all those lovely fees, freight tax etc. Exactly like what I had bought. I quess there are lots of 2003 MPV Dx out there and Mazda has to sell them before the 2004 come along.   I had got it into my head that buying at the end of the month would be give a better deal in that the dealer would want to make it's month. I was lucky that way with my last two cars. Not 3rd time lucky I guess.

I see you point. Where would it end. I guess what got me was that it happen in the same week. If only I had waited but my Previa was not working well and could of packed it in. So I keep that in mind. If I had waited my Previa might not have.
