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 |

Replying to: iwantacar1 (Sep 22, 2006 8:37 am) Go over it with a fine tooth comb looking for dents, dings, and chips and make them note on a "we owe" if you find anything wrong. Same on the inside. I hate to be obsessive about it but I purchased a Previa van for my wife one time and failed to notice a crease in the passenger door until after we got it home. Too late then to make them fix it. Every time I looked at the door until we sold it > 100k later I saw that crease and was mad at myself. The s-plan price is invoice which was posted here, and someone (nicely, thanks) explained about the extra fee. That plus maybe a modest dealer fee, taxes, and tags should be it. I don't know what the your state tax deal is, but you could find out and calculate that for yourself. Ditto the tags and title - transfer VS new tags. For sure test drive it before signing anything. If it has a vibration, rattle, squeak, etc it will drive you nuts. Those things have to be fixed up front or better a different car obtained. It will likely be fine, since they drove it back and would have noticed a problem and probably gave it a good look before they picked it up - but you need to do these things for yourself. 99 out of 100 may be fine, but you don't want to be the 1 that got a rattling, squeaky, dented "new car"  Congrats! My daughter has decided on the Civic EX (though now I have Mazda salespeople calling me hot to sell her the Mazda3 for cheap). We may go up and pick it up this weekend - about a 3 hour drive each way. Dennis
