Fremont Mazda in Northern California is the crappiest dealership. They advertised $400 off Invoice for ALL MAZDA3 models until the END OF AUGUST. After countless calls back and forth, they say they don't have any in stock. Once they had the Mazda3's back in(Today 8/20/06), it was NOW $200 over invoice! How convienient. Never shop there. |

I am talking to a dealer about an '06 S Grand Touring Hatchback. The MSRP is $22,055. It is automatic, with the moonroof/bose package and rear bumper step plate. I was told I could get it for $21,000 plus TTL. How does this sound? Lee

It cost me less than the S once it was all written up AND i got wheel locks!!! 21,500 and I'm out the door! Picking it up tomorrow and can't wait!!!! |

Hi folks. Anybody have experience with ordering a car? I may look at ordering an '07 Mazda3 if none of the dealers around here have the exact model I'm looking for. I won't need a car until mid December. My questions are: Can you usually get as good a deal on an order as one that's on the lot? How long does a car usually take to arrive once ordered? I'd like to have financing arranged before negotiating price. Should I arrange financing before I go into the dealer when ordering or wait until a couple of weeks before the car arrives? How much of a deposit is "normal"? Thanks in advance. I'm new to car buying and these forums are a great resource. -Brian

Give others the chance to compete on lowest price iteratively. Take the final lowest price (with dealer fees, taxes, title...OTD) Simple. Perhaps the low bid has one on the lot like it or close and can transfer it too. This gets more likely as sept-oct rolls around. Since it is not sitting on anyones lot an ordered car has no floor plan interest or anything on the sale. So certainly no extra charge. I would think an ordered car should have a 2-8wk wait. (If shipped from far east? where are M3's made?) Depends on where in the supply chain it is. Getting your financing straight soon is obviously good, although I don't know how long the terms will hold. I would put 500-1000 on credit card deposit for an order. Its easier to dispute if something comes up. Perhaps they want some cash unrefundable but I would negotiate the best terms I could get. Happy hunting --jjf
