Great Buying Experience on '04 LX! by daron1

Despite the recent rash of posts concerning the hard shifting problem, I bought an '04 LX, right off the boat, on 12/20. I had done extensive research using Edmunds, & other sites, and dealt exclusively through e-mail & phone. My salesman at Heritage Mazda in Bel Air, MD was great to work with & really understands the internet researcher/buyer. I'll gladly pass on his name if anyone e-mails me directly. Paid invoice on a Titanium LX w/ lx plus, traction & side bags, sports package, roof rack, bumper guard, & wheel locks.

We bought a titanium 04 LX (base, no options) last weekend. Paid $20,300 plus tax/title/plates. Had a very pleasnat experience dealing with Mazda Gallery in Norwood, Mass, except for the fact that they initially wanted an additional $100 for the color, and even let us leave, but then called us next morning and dropeed the extra $$.

Funny how a little walk can be worth a hundred bucks. Congrats to the owners!

since you bought a base LX, can you tell me without the privacy glass, is it like regular tinted glass you can see through. Also, do you have a black strip across the bottom of the sliding door or nothing at all.
 
thanks
 
firing at full spread?

I would read all the recent message boards first. Tranny issue that has a fix on the way. 03's and 04's. Other than that, it is a good vehicle. Strongly suggest waiting for the tranny fix first. I think alot of the MPV owners that have the problem (me included) would agree.

rumor24 is right, no good deal is worth the nerve racking feeling you could get if your MPV is one with the 2-3 tranny problem. Keep shopping till this issue is resolved. MPV is a great vehicle and there's still a lot of 03 deals out there.

Going rates on new 2003 ? by kiwishred

I am in the market for a new 2003 MPV. There is still some inventory in Seattle region. Can get a no-haggle "internet" price of exactly invoice. But with rebate on 2003 only $1000 less than 2004 it seems dealer is expecting buyer to eat most of depreciation of last year's model. Is it realistic to expect to be able to go lower than invoice on 2003 ? If so, any personal experiences of by how much would be appreciated ? TIA, Brent.

Just haggle with the dealer a little...they must be getting desperate to sell 2003...they are used cars now. Don't be afraid to give the dealer an "outrageous price" and walk away. He will call back.

New to me MPV 2002 by waterbaby

Hello all:
 
I have been reading these posts with interest,and am now glad to say that we are members of the MPV club! We purchased a 2002 ES (leather, sunroof) today - only drawback is 55k miles on it - for 16000. We figured that the 12 month/12k mile warranty the dealer (Richmond Honda - Richmond, VA) gave us was what we would need, given how we plan to use the van. Other 2002s we looked at had the mileage to keep us within the factory warranty, but the time limit would run out on us in about a year anyway.
 
So please don't tell me now that there are all kinds of problems that crop up right at 55k miles . . . there didn't seem to be that kind of thread on these boards anywhere.
 
Back on topic, the dealer was great - we called from the road to ask him to have paperwork ready etc as we were coming in with a 4 year old and a 2 year old - we got there and the car had temporary tags on it already, paperwork was printed and taken care of in about 20 minutes. We'd definitely deal with them again.
 
Anyway, glad to be a part of the minivan contingent!
