Just talked to a dealer and they told me that I would have to pay tax, title and Detroit assesment, and other fee's??? What?? What exactly should I expect to pay after getting a quote on a car?? I live in MI and did not expect to pay all these fee's am I being conned? MKV: you said the S-plan price should be 17,439 for the Mazda 3 with ABS and Moonroof packages. Will dealers go lower than this?? I had one dealer offer me the car for $17300, but I think they may just be trying to get me in to sway me with some other offer. I have another dealer that thinks anything close to 17,000 or 17, 500 is undoable. A dealer told me they have a $500 rebate until the end of the month on the S-plan, anyone else heard of this? Also please someone let me know if I can use the Gerber rebate on top of the S-plan price of $17439 or whatever it is?

I don't want to sound stupid, but Tax and Title are the only government required fee's, right?? Can anyone tell me if I can use the Gerber rebate on top of the S-plan? |

Sales tax , title and license (TT&L) are by far the most common - but some places have other taxes. Houston adds on a property tax fee - I think it is around .25% ( .0025) which adds less that $50 to most cars. I have read some states mandate that if a dealership charges a fee - like advertising or doc fee that they must charge the same fee to all customers. That does not really mean much - you can always negotiate a lower price on the car - offsetting the fee - so that even though the invoice says $300 DOC FEE you did not really pay it - for example you buy the car for $300 UNDER invoice rather than at invoice. These fees are always negotiable - ALWAYS - the question is is it worth your time and effort to spend 3 days trying to get a $50 doc fee reduced down to $25? I gave a co-worker a ride to shop for a car - First he negotiated a deal that was below invoice - then got them to reduce the destination charge - he worked like hell - but ended up getting a great deal on a Nissan. I tell the sales person - as soon as we start taking about pricing - that - the price I am offering includes all the fees EXCEPT TT&L - and that I also expect that they will do the same. But still about 1/2 the time when I get to closing they have added in something extra - I never pay it - and have only had to walk away from a deal a few times. |

Eligible Customers: All $500 certificate recipients are on the "In Market Owners" list posted in DealerLink identified by Customer ID. Owners who receive a $500 certificate in the "In Market Owners" direct communication. This offer IS transferable within household, must live at same address This info I found on a dealer's website, located in St. Louis. Anyone have any idea what this is and how to figure out if: a) who is on the list?; and/or b) how to get on the list? The "DealerLink" is the obstacle, it seems.

Replying to: mazda6s (May 27, 2005 12:22 pm) I got my car yesterday from HileyHurst Maxda Dallas. I qualified for S-Plan + gerber $500 rebate + grad $500 rebate. Here are the break up of price: 15530 (S-Plan Price) +688( sab/abs pkg) +765( sunroof/6cd pkg) +421(sports pkg)+580(dest)-1000( rebates) + Dallas TTL=$18456 ( This is the amount I paid to the dealer) + Free Window Tinting + free full tank gas. I am quite happy with the deal though I could have saved little bit more But It was absolutely no haggling at all and the internet manager guy was great.Everything was done over emails and the $1000 rebates was given instantly instead of like Mail In rebate. Also tax was calculated on rebated price instead of full price. So basically I paid $18456 for all these. Thanks DD

Hi, I am rather new to this site, and Im looking to get a mazda3 5-door soon. I noticed that some people here are purchasing their mazda3 through the S-plan. But I have no idea what this is. I tried looking on google, but I couldnt find anything. Can anyone tell me more about this plan- what is it exactly, can anyone use this plan, etc? Thanks
