hey thanks. i talked to the service dept at a mazda dealership in ohio, and they said the 2007's are all 50-state emissions certified so nothing would need to be changed bringing it into cali.

What Model? Mazda3 by suv_shoppin

Looking at possibly getting a mazda3 and don't know the difference between the models yet. I would like a sunroof and a good stero and power windows/locks, etc. I also want black exterior and a spoiler.
 
What model should I be looking for and approximately how much $? Paying cash if that matters.
 
Live in the tampa bay area.
 
Thanks.

Galaxy Grey Hatchback by claudius753

I am purchasing a Galaxy Grey hatch from Fitzgerald Auto Mall in Frederick MD.
 
The model I am getting is the Touring with 5AT and 6 CD / moonroof package. I was quoted an out the door price of $20,928.
 
The dealer is finding the car I want and I should be purchasing next week. So far the process has been very easy with no pressure and quick replies to all questions.

There are 2 types of Mazda 3, the i and the s.
 
The i models come with a 150 hp, 135 lb-ft 2.0 liter I4 with either a 5 speed manual or 4 speed automatic, and is only available in the sedan configuration.
 
The s models come with a 156 hp, 150 lb-ft 2.3 liter I4 with either a 5 speed manual or 5 speed automatic, and is available in both sedan and 5 door hatchback configurations.
 
There are then 3 'grades' of the Mazda 3. Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. The 3i comes in Sport or Touring. The 3s comes in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring.
 
If you want the i model, you would have to get the Touring to get the power windows/locks, keyless entry, etc. You would also have to add the 6 CD / moonroof package and the rear wing spoiler. Edmunds' TMV is around $18,700
 
You could also get an s model, with a Sport model, and also add the 6 CD / moonroof and rear wing spoiler. Edmunds' TMV is around $19,700.
 
Both prices assume 4 door model with the automatic transmission.
 
Basically, for around $1,000 you get the more powerful engines plus maybe a few other differences.

Galaxy Grey 5-door in New Jersey by jc22

Got an online quote from Maxon Mazda in Union, New Jersey for a S-Touring Galaxy Grey Mica with grey interior and no options. Went down and spent two hours with B.D. and left with the car for $19,723 (New Jersey residents must pay for a 4-year car registration fee). Wanted to pay $200 less, but could not find a grey interior any where else. Experience was quick and some-what painless. Just stand firm on paying for the VIN etching.
 
Hope this helps.

purchasing '05 hatch/concerns by cartera

Got a price of $15k for an '05 hatch, standard equipment but optional airbags added and 19k miles. When I went to test drive, it wouldn't start - battery needed a jump. Salesman says this just happens sometimes when they sit - I have never had it happen. It had only been at the dealer since 12/12. Had a terrible grinding in the back when I drove off and I am aware of the problem with the rear brakes so I assume that can be fixed. Carfax says it was a commercial lease, that was sold at auction and it sat at another dealer from Aug to Dec and then came to this dealer. Car is priced below a similar model with no extra airbags and more miles - I see issues but is there any reason to think I can't get these problems solved since I am aware of the TSBs and won't buy it until it checks out? It is certified so I get the rest of the 50k bumper to bumper warranty, dealer adds another 12k and then I get the remainder of a 100K limited warranty.

Good Deal?? by pipi_theta

I've just bought my 3-i touring MT today (with no extra options).
I got about $400 below the invoice and the OTD was about $168XX. The APR was 1.9%.
The whole buying process was painless and smooth.
I just wonder if it's a good deal.
Any comments???

New to forum, getting MAZDA3 I sport automatic by nicoleswack
Jan 07, 2007 (1:33 pm)

Hi everyone I'm new:)
 
I have been looking at the 2007 Mazda3 I sport automatic
The options I have selected are solely air, and abs brakes. I really only want the car in black or phantom purple.
 
I have been quoted an out the door price of 16,100$ for the 2007 mazda3 I, automatic with ac and abs with tossed in features of tinted windows and vin etching. I was quoted this price after going back and forth between 4 dealers and this is the best price I have gotten so far. This dealership has the car in stock but only in grey and they have 6 in stock. The best quote I recieved from the only other dealership that has the car in stock was 16,400 but the car only has ac and would not come with abs, tinted or vin etching.But its purple.
 
I was also quoted 16278 "out the door" from a different dealership for the same package however this car has a spolier.But this dealer wants a deposit "today" because they don't have the car in stock nor do they have the car at all in any color so no matter what I would have to wait. and I'm not willing to put down a deposit hearing all your horror stories and because I don't want to purchase the car for another week to two weeks.But this dealership seems to be the one willing to try and get me the best price?
 
What do you guys think?

I take it you took the 36 mo term.
 
The special financing on the Mazda3 now is incredable. I am rather surprised they did it. All should take advantage.

Any factory to dealer incentives out there on the Mazda 3's? I was hoping for something considerably less than invoice, but I don't want to waste time getting blood from a stone.
 
Any rumors of better deals next month? President's Day always seems to be such a push for car sales.
