#1561 of 3644 Re: one each of Gerber and ACOG rebate coupons available [smaria] by gwhatnow Jul 15, 2005 (10:16 am)
Replying to: smaria (Jul 15, 2005 8:11 am) Another thing I found confusing was how to use these things. Are you supposed to ask for quotes, do the negotations and get the best price from someone (including any "known" rebates), and only then whip out the Gerber/ACOG rebate, "oh, by the way....?" Do these Gerber/ACOG rebates come off the dealer profit or holdback, or are they passed along straight though from Mazda?

Replying to: gwhatnow (Jul 15, 2005 10:16 am) After agreeing on the purchase price, I explained the $500 Gerber rebate to the salesman, produced the E-mail from Mazda containing the unique certificate number, and he then deducted $500 from the purchase price. You can request the Mazda E-mail here: http://www.irv-silverpop.com/mazda/gerber/ Later the salesman called looking for the original Gerber coupon (approx 5 x 8" card), and I registered on www.Gerber.com, requested the coupon, and then provided it to the dealer. I'd advise having BOTH the E-mail from Mazda AND the coupon from Gerber prior to attempting to purchase the car. Turnaround time is approx 3-4 days for the E-mail from Mazda, and 8-9 days for the coupon from Gerber. Replies to this message: manchester3 (Jul 22, 2005 2:34 pm)

I went to pay for my car today. I signed up for the Gerber rebate and called them before hand about it. I do not have the original ad and they didn't care. Actually, I don't think the original ad is req because when I was filling out paper work, they had this print out regarding the Gerber rebate. The print out had boxes on it and one of them was "obtained via email" or something similar. My original price was 19086 + TTL, but after this rebate it was 18568+TTL for 3 hatchback with ABS/airbags/EBD, moonroof +6 disk, rear diffuser, arch moldings, xenon and tire pressure monitoring. Drive out was under 20k. I was 1100 under what Edmunds TMV and 2000 under MSRP. I was given S plan price initially, but my S plan PIN was never requested.    The dealer I went to was Russel Smith.
#1567 of 3644 Need some pointers on purchasing a 2006 Mazda 3 5-door by akolozvary Jul 17, 2005 (10:36 pm)
I like to purchase the Mazda 3 2006 model when it comes out. What is the expected date for it to be released? Is it better to build a car online? I like to trade in my 2002 Mazda B3000 Dual Sport Cab Plus 2D. The truck is O.K., no thrills. I added tint and better speakers to it. I also added bed rail and it came with a bed liner. I have low milage on it, just slightly above 30,000. Kelly Blue book is saying my trade in value is about $10,050. I think I owe just above 12,000 on it. I think its time to get rid of it. I don't use the bed that often and the gas mileage is pretty bad. With the recent price hikes in gas, I think it would be wise for me to get something smaller. When going to mazda to purchase the vehicle, would it be better to be upfront to the sales guy and tell him I want to trade in my vehicle...or should I not mention it at all and when he asks if I want to trade in a vechile say no till the end? I want to be able to get rid of the truck and not owe anything extra. The Mazda dealership I went to kind of screwed me when I purchased this vechile in early 2003. I bought this new, I never bothered to inspect the vechile for damages prior to purchashing it. When I got home, I noticed that the rear bumper was pushed in. I quickly went back and they agreed to fix the damagaes. They couldn't completely fix it, so they gave me a free bed rail and carpet. I was pretty upset that they sold me a car that had cosmetic problems. For something that was new, it shouldn't have any damages...and since it was new they should have told me proir to selling it to me. I'm suprised that their move isn't illegal. Anway, I want to make sure that I do it right this time. I want to be happy in my new vehicle. I just noticed the $500 rebate link floating around on this thread, I quickly signed up for it. Any pointers on saving cash and getting the best deal would be nice to know, I like to get the 2006 Mazda 3 5 door loaded. Under 20K. What specs would be ideal to purchas? How is the navagation system? Replies to this message: dd123 (Jul 18, 2005 8:43 am) mdaffron (Jul 21, 2005 6:35 am)

#1569 of 3644 $16,300. for Our 2003 3 S by sandman46 Jul 18, 2005 (2:56 pm)
We got our silver 3 S for $17,035 minus the $500. Mazda rebate plus a dealer free gas for 6 months, or $300. for a total of $800. We had to pat T,T&L plus the destination charge, but as we dealt with the internet manager, they took off their dealer fee.   The Sandman
