Re: Reasonable & Customary Fees? There is no such thing - it is just another name for paying more money. Does the bank (yours or the dealership) treat the money paid for fees any differently then the money paid for the car? Look on the window sticker you will see a line called DELIVERY, PROCESSING AND HANDLING - this is the charge for transportation (most of the time people call it the destination charge) - but it is also for vehicle prep including the paperwork. The salesperson may try and say this is a fee Mazda charges the dealership and has nothing to do with the transaction between the dealership and the customer - pure lie - the agreement between the dealership and Mazda includes the dealership doing normal vehicle prep - which includes basic things like installing floor mats - removing the protective covers - checking the tire PSI - bla bla bla - dealerships like to add this fee in because most customers - even the ones that don't like it - still pay it. It would be the same as charging you twice for the seats or the steering wheel. |

Took delivery late September. Now I'm getting out of the Mazda game. Bought both as a second driver for the wife and I. Have driven the '06 sparingly - have only 2k on the odometer - but love the torquey 2.3 liter though I was not displeased with the 2 liter in the '04. Now my driving needs have changed drastically and I will be doing a lot of traveling. So the Mazda is on the block and I'm replacing it with a fuel sipping VW Jetta TDI. Wow! Selling within 5 months and 2K miles! Depreciation costs can be staggering (20% to 25% for initial year on compacts). Consumer Reports rated the Mazda3 manual in its top compacts for fuel economy so it's a bit surprising that you mention "fuel sipping VW Jetta TDI" as the reason to move from Mazda. The new Jetta is a very handsome vehicle. Happy trails with the Jetta!

| Miami area, red color OTD price 22,250. Should I buy? is it a good deal? | |
|
Good day, gang. I was quoted an OTD price of $18750 for a stock, Mazda3 S Touring 5-Door, 5-spd, no additional options in the whitewater pearl color in the Hampton Roads area. Thoughts on the price? From what I can tell reading this board it may be a pretty good deal. Anyone else from this part of Virginia get anything near this? Thanks. Tom |

Why will changing to 15 inch wheels/tires increase your MPG?

I paid $19,439 title, license, and fees (no tax, because I had a trade-in) for a 2006 Mazda 3s Touring 5-door with auto, 6CD and sunroof, wheel locks and dealer vin etching (which I got them to take off the price). I worked hard to get this deal and I hope it was a good one. I live in NY, but I used a high volume dealer in NJ.
