07 Mazda 3sTouring 4-dr. Auto.- FAIR OFFER?? by karend3
Aug 26, 2006 (9:21 am)
Reply
(I entered similar email yesterday on the "Mazda 3:Official 2007 U.S. Info" forum but found this would be the more appropriate site.)
 
I want to make a single figure (OTD)out-the-door offer and let the dealer distribute the amount of the check to whatever "fees" or "actual price of the car" that he wants to. I'm not wanting to get into the negotiate this/negotiate that.
 
Would this FAIR PRICE I am seeking consist of:
 
Invoice (for car)
Invoice (for options/accessories)
Destination
Tax/title/license
 
Should I offer even lower due to various sources of dealer profit?? (i.e. holdback, etc.)
 
I would appreciate several replies, from both shoppers, buyers AND dealers. Thanks in advance.

msrp 18010, inovice 17081, got 100 over invoice.
in PA, 7% tax and 145 transaction fee.
Is it a resasonable price, though higher than I thought for a compact car.

S Touring Moonroof Package by onrop

I just got an S Touring Sedan 06 with the Moonroof package (lip spoiler, 6-cd changer, and moonroof). They gave me a special on it, $18,874 (MSRP claimed at 19,300). I bought it for $18,500. This plus tax and license ended up costing me 21,447 out the door in Washington State. Does that sound reasonable for you guys at this point in time?

hmm...$2947 in tax, title, and registration? seems high to me.
 
$18,500 plus 8.8% tax ($1628) plus about $280 for title and registration would be $20,408.
 
It looks like they threw in over $1000 in bogus fees somewhere. Invoice on that model with options would be $18,929 so the price of $18,500 looks good (assuming you got an automatic, if not subtract $855) but they screwed you with added fees. Sorry.

Always cheat the customer by saying they have the car you are looking for, but when you get there , they will rip u off by selling you another crappy car.

What can I get? by mcdermott2

Is it possible to get a basic 2006 Mazda3 for under $13000 at the end of their year?

Does anyone know if we can expect the 2007 Mazda3 to be hard to get for a few months? There is only 1 in my area right now. I'm going to be looking for a basic model and it seems like the s models are the ones that have been easier to find. This could be because there aren't many for sale yet, but I think it's because the cars sell very fast once they get to the dealership.
 
What is a fair price for a 3i with a/c only or a 3i touring with no options (if I can find one in the next couple weeks)?
Any help would be appreciated

This question is actually for any "EXPERT" but I just replied to you because you replied first.
 
Hey, I appreciate the information. I have one more question if you don't mind. Your information seems accurate because even the calculations I was coming up with seemed questionable. Your tax percentage is definitely correct. I was wondering how you got the licensing fee info, where can I see the actual break down, and can I dispute the charge? I made the purchase Saturday, August 28, 2006.
 
Thanks,
 
Joe
