Replying to: aviboy97 (Nov 28, 2006 10:06 am) Audited by who? I can understand that this business practice must appear to be fair but I question if a case can be made about this. Businesses are entitled to charge what they determine to be a reasonable price for a good/service; the problem for many consumers is accepting fees that are added after a negotiated transaction has been calculated. If dealers showed these fees as part of the negotiation then there may be less friction at the end. Life would so simple if a cost breakdown could be shown upfront: (MSRP + Options) - Discount + (Freight + Handling + Doc + License + Taxes) = Out the Door Price.

| Their sale started yesterday . They're selling all in stock 3's at invoice + 4.25% taxes + $17 t&t + $289 Adm fee = OTD. I test drove a Silver 3i Touring Sedan with no options yesterday, absolutely loved it and will be bringing him/her home on Monday. I forget the exact price, but it was like $16873.05 OTD. I told the Salesman I wouldn't deal unless they knocked off the nickle. He gave me a nickle out of his pocket and made the sale. | |

Replying to: autonomous (Nov 28, 2006 1:57 pm) All dealer fees are supposed to be on display in the dealership, and that is supposed to be charges to everyone, no exceptions. The only instances where this can be excluded is if you are purchasing a wholesale piece, with a wholesaler license. In a perfect world, all of this would be disclosed by salesmen once numbers start to fly, however, we do not live in a prefect world. There are still to many idiotic salesmen out there. |

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a bit of help here. I'm a first time buyer with a fixed budget and would like to know what kind M3i sedan I can get in the sub $12,000 range. I don't need anything extravagant and am willing to sacrifice certain features to stay within my budget. The only feature I require is air conditioning, which from what I've gathered costs about $880.00. Initially I had planned on buying a new 07 Mazda 3i but my financial circumstances have changed slightly and so I have to compromise. Surely, a 2004 or possibly even 2005 model can be had for 12k OTD or less, right? Ideally the car would come under full warrantee and in new or like-new condition. I'm looking namely for a Mazda 3i 4-door sedan in Titanium Gray, preferably a 2004 model or newer. I'd appreciate any help. So far, it seems as though even some of the used cars are only 2 or 3k less expensive than a brand new 07 from the dealer (which is confusing to me.) Where is a good place to look for used cars? I plan on putting about 5k down and financing the residual amount. I'd like to keep the monthly payments at $200.00 or less. Thanks, Mason
