Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Mazda3 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

The invoice price that Edmunds provides for the Mazda 3s GT Sedan is $270 less than the dealer's invoice price for the same car with the same options. One dealer told me that Edmunds' price does not include Mazda's national advertising fee, which is rolled into the dealer invoice for all southern New England dealers. Has anyone else in southern New England seen this or was the dealer being dishonest?

Replying to: simisky (Jan 23, 2006 5:37 am) Car buying websites such as Edmunds and Cars.com are not able to account for each and every regions advertising cost(assessment) which is why there is a disclaimer link specifically informing consumers about advertising fees. The assessment is part of the actual invoice for the actual vehicle you're looking at. Here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area our typical assessment on a Mazda 3 ranges from $280 to $365...depending on trim level and model. This is definately something we find ourselves easily explaining many times a week. The concern you should truly have is if there are questionable dealer fees or documentation fees on your buyers order. Documentation fees are legit as long as they're not overblown...Texas allows us to charge a state maximum of $50. Keep in mind that other states have their own parameters. ZOOM ZOOM!!!

Replying to: egoh (Jan 24, 2006 3:31 pm) Here in Dallas/Fort Worth that's a price which is $26 under invoice. If the dealer actually has the car you want and you're in the market to buy now...pull the trigger. ZOOM ZOOM!!!

I am in the market to purchase 2006 mazda3 s model with manual trans. I went to several dealerships and sent out some request for a price quote. I received a price offer of $17.700, is this is fair price for this model? I realize that the msrp for s model is something like $16,800. What would be a fairly good price for this car? I am located in southern california region. I would appreciate any advice or experience shared. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: socra (Jan 27, 2006 11:56 am) Also, keep in mind there is not a large margin in the Japanese entry level compact cars such as the Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla, and Honda Civic. Rarely is there any significant manufacturer's support to the dealers as well. The MSRP, including the destination charge, on a 2006 Mazda 3 S Sedan with no additional cost options is $17,440. Add $950 if you want the automatic transmission(AT2) on a S Sedan or Hatchback. Make sure you clarify to any dealer what you're seeking in regards to an S, S Touring, or S Grand Touring. This is an avenue of misunderstanding we deal with every day. ZOOM ZOOM!!! |
