Replying to: iwantacar1 (Sep 20, 2006 8:50 am) What *I* would do is find the car you want. Go to that dealer's web page (if they have one) and see if they show the inventory and see if THEY show they have it for sale. Then follow up with a phone call to them to confirm they have it for sale. Then I would ask each one that has the car how much they charge in s-plan fees. Some dealers charge $175 some may charge $300, I heard of one that charges a LOT more. The s-plan price would be the same everywhere, but the Mazda dealer does get to tack some extra fees on them. If the folks that HAVE the car charge reasonable fees, *I* would get my check back from the first dealer and just go get the car. You could call the dealer you first worked with and point them to the other car. The MAY want to charge you for having to go get it and they will usuall send someone to DRIVE your new car back to their dealership. I have not heard of a non-refundible deposit in a long time and clearly they are not working hard for your business if they could not find the cars you did (assuming you verify they are on the ground and ready for sale). I am still working to get an s-plan PIN, someone told me Ford employees were allowed to generate as many PINs per year as they wanted for MAZDA sales - but that may no longer be true. I think for Ford purchases it is limited to 2 per year. In any case, the dealers offered me $500 over invoice + dealer fee if I can't get a PIN. One dealer gets about $250 the other about $384 in fees. Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (Sep 20, 2006 9:33 am) Each active or retired Ford Motor Company employee receives four (4) PINs each calendar year. The PINs they distribute to their eligible members, as well as those they use themselves all count against the four they are allocated. Note: Members are not aware of the number of PINs remaining for their Sponsor and thus you may be denied a PIN request because the Sponsor is out of PINs for the current year.

Replying to: iwantacar1 (Sep 20, 2006 9:41 am) To start, S-Plan is invoice. Destination/regional assessment is included. Regional assessment is that "$200" charge you saw, that Mazda charges in different regions of the country. They are all printed on the factory invoice. They differ from region to region. Mazda does not disclose them on their web site. For example, I am located in the New York region. What is not included is dealer fee's (processing fee's) tax, registration etc.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Sep 20, 2006 10:44 am)  In deed I did find the car from the other dealer's website (which is over 100 miles away from where I am). As a dealer like you, will he be willing to get the car so far away for a potential buyer?

| Is there a forumula to calculate a lease payment? I know specials run from time to time, but, I am looking for a Mazda 3 S Grand Touring model. With options, MSRP is $24K and invoice is $22K. I'm sure I can get it for the $22K. Is there a calcuation to get a 2 yr/15K miles lease or must I go to the dealers for this. Any help is appreciated. | |

I'll be buying a Mazda 3 soon. Can I get opinions about this proposed price: 2007 3i Touring (auto) ABS package Rear wing spoiler $17,187 (includes destination) Invoice,according to Edmunds is: $17,168 Since the o7's just came out, Edmunds TMV for this car looks out of whack. It's $18,311 My agreed on purchase price is just a couple dollars under the TMV of the '06 It seems like a good deal to me. Laura |
