Just picked it up on Saturday 4/14 for a killer price IMHO. Car details 07 3 HB Silver GT auto with bose audio/moonroof, moonroof deflector, satellite radio, cargo net Pricing MSRP $23305 (according to Edmunds) Invoice $21669 negotiated base price $19807 ($1862 below invoice!!) MD tax 5% $995.15 dealer processing $100 MD tags $206 OUT THE DOOR for $21108.15 Put some money down, finanace some at 1.9% Took forever to get this price and a absolutely horrible experience with a dealership. I feel bad naming who they are, since they took care of me at the end, but it was just plain bad, and outright WRONG customer service. Either way, LOVE THE CAR in the 75 miles I put in yesterday and today, and can't stand sitting at home not driving the car. |

I agree and disagree with that. Before I buy a car, I want to see, feel, and test drive the car that I will buy. I will never buy a car online and have it delivered to my house. I have heard of bad experiences that way.

Replying to: calvinc (Apr 15, 2007 4:32 pm) The negotiations or something else? |

.. I can put up with a lot of crap.. And the reward? A very low price... for me!! If I can get the same deal somewhere else, where they treat me better? Sure.. bring it on.. I'm like most people, though... If I'm getting treated like crap, I probably won't be around long enough to find out what price they are offering..

Replying to: kyfdx (Apr 17, 2007 12:37 pm) On this particular car it's pretty obvious that good discounts are available, and most customers should be able to negotiate a price that's pretty close to invoice if they handle themselves well. I would say not more than $500 over if there is competition in your area. Given the quality of the car and what you get for the money, it's a helluva bargain in my opinion. |

Replying to: calvinc (Apr 15, 2007 4:32 pm) Who was the dealer? That was a great price. Was it Fitzmall? I am in NY but still...And what could be wrong when you get 1862 below invoice???

| Hey guys. This was my first time buying a new car, and my experience at Great Neck Mazda (Long Island, NY) was not so great. I purchased the Mazda 3 Super Grand Touring (Automatic) 2.3 engine. They wanted me to date my documents for the end of the previous month so they could add it to their quota. They hounded me about adding paint protection, a security system (which the car already has), and scotch guard on the seats (HELLO - they're leather). All said and done, I paid $21,916 before taxes (am I not supposed to say what I paid?). That's with all-weather mats, tire locks, and spoiler. Basically, navigation is the only thing I didn't get. I didn't get the extended warranty and I didn't get any of that crap they tried to push on me. PS - their auto service sucked too, so I now go to Smithtown Mazda for service (much better). I got my loan through Commerce bank at 6.25% for 5 years and put $2000 down. My payment kills me - it's like $420 a month. Any thoughts? | |

Replying to: jong81 (Apr 18, 2007 6:35 am) What was the sticker price on that car? Did you get the Moonroof/Bose package? Sounds like a good price if its loaded. What color? BTW, what service did you bring it in for already to decide they sucked? Did you try to negotiate the buy with Smithtown? And was this an internet deal or did you work it in the showroom? reason I ask is Smithtown and Great Neck are so far from each other. If Smithtown is better, how did you end up in Great Neck? Sorry for all the questions!!
