Replying to: audia8q (Mar 04, 2006 8:34 am) The local dealership (Carolina Mazda, Rock Hill, SC) has been great to deal with. Quite frankly it's been the best car-buying experience I've ever had. We had a deal set in less than 15 minutes and they gave me more for my trade than I was looking to get. I hope the car turns out to be as enjoyable as the buying experience has been. |

Hello everyone, I just picked up a 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback 5 Door, A/T. MSRP $18,880. No other options added. I paid $18,000 before taxes, fees, etc. Clean sale. Besides tax and license, I was only charged doc. fees. of $45. Do you think I got a good deal? Dealer showed me an invoice price of $17,897. Edmunds.com shows $17,677. Did I miss something? Was this a good price for So.Cal? Any chances that I could have gotten the car under invoice? I did not shop around that much, but I feel that I got a decent deal since I got a good trade in figure for my 2000 Protege. The Internet Sales Manager stated the M3 is still hot. I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. P.S. He did mention he'll send me a booklet w/coupons and for the 1st year, every other oil change will be on the house. |

| As a rookie new car buyer, I'd love some advice. I've been looking for a titanium gray, automatic transmission GT mazda3 hatchback. I only want the base model, which I've discovered is pretty hard to find. One dealer has one on the lot for $20,100 plus tax/licensing. Does that seem like a fair price? Another dealer has offered to order one from the factory for me, but we haven't discussed pricing yet. Opinions? | |

Replying to: slate1 (Mar 04, 2006 7:41 am) I figure I'll give them a week or two to try and find the Velocity Red and if that doesn't pan out I'll start looking at alternate color choices. Does the Winning Blue have the metal flake in it like the Velocity Red does? I really like that! " Yes, it has the flake in it. Here's a good picture: http://www.forum-auto.com/uploads/200509/hibou.67_1126687462_copie_de_avt_423469- _4_full.jpg And here's the copper red (also metallic): http://mywebpages.comcast.net/namaste1/Dropped1.jpg As you can see, it gets lighter in direct sunlight, but I like the color a lot http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/3/web/2139000-2139999/2139203_3_full- .jpg You can never tell what these colors are like from the samples at the dealership or on the net - you need to see it on the car, in a real setting

(Sorry about Long Post) 2005 Sedan Winning Blue Interior Black 4 speed auto sport 810 cargo net 32 leather seats 507 auto dim mirror 240 rear spoiler 280 wheel locks 32 sport package 421 Miami-Fort Lauderdale Assesment 146.00 Invoice price is $19,253 (SPlan) MRSP is 20,685 Selling them from 3000 off MRSP. Here's the details $20,685 MRSP of Car w/options -3020.89 discounts ---------------- 17664.11 +698.89 dealer fee called Delivery charge/documentation fee +87.43 Taxable Total is : 18,456.93 6% + $50; 1157.41 19,614.34 +225 tag,title fee 19839 OTD Things I think I can get them to knock off are: 700 dollar Delivery Charge/Documentation (unneccessary Dealer profit) Auto Dim Mirror $240!! Take it out. 19839 - 940 ------ $18,899 I'll start my negoations there. Internet guy over phone told me if I come in he would give me Splan price for 2006 and 1,000 under s-plan for 2005 cars. So, I drove 20 miles, 19839 OTD is what the internet guy told me when I arrived. I didn't agrue about his price cause it seems like a great deal! But, seeing that he is adding a load of fees, and I didn't attempt to lower the price, when I go in tomorrow to purchase the car, I think I can drive away with a better deal than 19,839. He has 3 winning blues with same options from 2005. He also has about 18 2005 mazda 3 instock. So, with 2007 around the corner dealership has got be motivated to sell. Wish me luck, any advice, input would be appriciated.
