Mazda3 S Touring 5-Door, 5-Spd Stock: $18750 OTD by jocjones

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.

z71bill, from discussions with service consultants and techs I know in a couple of VW Service Departments and from conversations with other aftermarket VW modifiers and tuners who have done stints with VW Service Departments, it was a consensus opinion that the reduced fuel efficiency in the manual trannie MK V Jetta TDI compared to the MK IV (46/38 to 41/35) could be traced to several factors, one of which was the switch to 16" wheels/tires as compared to the 15" wheels/tires that were O.E. on the MK IV. Obviously, the increased size and weight of the MK V play a factor, but the wider tire was also pointed to as the culprit. Several tech people suggested an increase in fuel efficiency of 2-3 mpg if there was a return to the narrower 15" tire. Care to weigh in on that judgment ?

I have never reduced tire size. But have put larger wider tires on every truck and most of the cars I have owned.
 
Normally I only go up 1-2 "sizes" - if I can use that general term. Like going from a 265 70 16 to a 275 70 16 (a little wider & taller) or from a 245 75 16 to a 285 75 16.
 
I have not seen much change in MPG - even before taking into account that my odometer is off - which in my case means I am actually going more miles than what the odometer says. Once I take that into consideration the difference is so small +/- it could just be the normal variation from tank to tank.
 
I do know that some people experience a change in MPG just switching from one brand of tire to another - even with the same size - so I guess anything is possible.
 
I assume you do know that the wheel size has nothing to do with how wide (or the diameter) a tire is?

If you don't mind my asking, does $19,439 include tags and fees? What were the fees? Can you tell me what dealer you used? I am in NY and have been trying to get a similar car. I have, so far, avoided the NJ dealers because they have refused to give me internet price quotes.
