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.

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!!! |

Hi, i plan to buy a Mazda3 i touring. One of my friends who bought his mazda last April said that Mazda had discount for recent college graduates. However, the dealer told me that there is no graduates program anymore. I am wondering if this is true.

Replying to: redaix (Jan 30, 2006 6:46 am) In its previous form it was able to save an additional $500 if you were graduating from a two or four year school within the next six months. Or if you have graduated from a two or four year school within the past two years. Of course, documents had to be verifiable. There is no public college grad rebate anymore. Mazda has gone to some sort of direct marketing based on school registrars and specific criteria. I'm unaware of what the exact parameters are. ZOOM ZOOM |

Replying to: ostiaantic (Jan 29, 2006 2:12 pm) I still think the problem is, I don't want the moonroof package. Seems impossible to get a hatchback without one (and a manual). I was promised a call today. At this point, I may bite the bullet and get an automatic. Oh, and you've probably seen that there is a Velocity Red hatchback at a dealer on Staten Island. I'm guessing it doesn't have the options you want. Happy hunting.

Replying to: allfiredup (Dec 27, 2005 9:39 pm)  $16,500 would have put you much further below invoice than $783. You used a coupon/voucher also, right? Did you finance and/or trade-in? I think you've received the best deal among buyers on this thread so far. Thank you--all of you--for sharing your info. We all want good deals on our cars, and it takes a certain amount of courage to put your paid prices up--no one wants buyer's remorse and second guessing.
