Ouch, Ouch and more Ouch. WOW, what a story. I feel bad that they try to rip you off. I hate when I hear stories like this.
 
It is ok to say the price. I did.
 
I think that you did a good job telling them "NO" in many things, such as scotch guard. Come on, get real on leather. You can never use scotch guard on leather, except it is states for leather only, however, I would never spray anything on my leather seats. I would only use a polish and cream for leather only. Here is a good one for you to buy for your car and I highly suggest that you protect the interior of the car with a polish.

Hope this helps.
 
Mazda was offering a 1.9% loan for 36 months, or a 3.9% for 48 months, and even a 5.9% loan for 60 months. I would of gotten a loan from them to say you some money. Were you not offered this?
 
Your payments are high, but because you only put down $2K and have a 6.25%, however that is still a good price and payment.

Thank you for the response. No other dealer had that car, and so every other dealer (because it was the end of the month) was trying to get the car from Great Neck, but Great Neck wouldn't give it up, because they caught on that I was price shopping. They still matched the others' prices. This was when they first came out with the '07s - very few dealers had them or had already sold out. Anyway, it is fully loaded, except for the navigation. Bose and Sunroof. Black Mica color. I worked it in the showroom. The other reason I didn't go with Smithtown is that their sales dept. sucked and they said they didn't have the '07s, even though at the end of the month, they called me up saying they had Galaxy grey. They were all young salesman with egos. The guy who actually sold me the car was nice (at Great Neck) - it's just the dealership itself that tries to mess with you. Smithtown may have a bad sales dept., but the guy in their service dept. is awesome. Setting up an app. was so easy - Great Neck you have to wait months and take a day off from work.

I would have, but these weren't being offered when I got mine. I had to replace my car - it was on its last leg, so I couldn't wait for the end of the year with all the deals. Thank you for the advice and the reassurance!

Thanks for the info.
Your post sounded like you had just made the deal, but now I see you did it some time ago. Enjoy!

How are you guys getting these deals?!?!
 
I bought a black Mica Mazda 3 '07 SGT (Automatic Transmission) for $21,916 this past October. I wish I would have looked on here first, but there wasn't even any discussion about the '07s going on.
 
Mine came with:
Bose Stereo/Moonroof package
All-weather mats
wheel locks
rear spoiler
and all the other stuff that's on the GT (heated leather, auto-sensing wipers, 17" rims, etc)
 
And my APR is 6.25%!!! Argh! How can you tell if your getting the best price on a new car? I know the manual transmission is cheaper and the hatch back model is slightly cheaper as well. But why?

Well the way it looks to me is that you got an OK deal, not the best for a manual and hatch, which is cheaper than an auto and sedan, style. I think you did get screwed on the APR financing. Mazda changed the APR to be 1.8% in January 2007, then April 1st, 2007 went to 1.9%, no big difference there. Now it is up to 2.9%, every month changes. In June, I heard it will go to 5.9%, but '06's if any are left are offered at .9%, which is sweet.
 
No one really knows when a great time to buy is. Hine site is great to have at a time like this.
 
Regarding your deal, Did you bargain? How much was the sticker? MSRP?
 
I got my car for $21,302 including the accessories that you stated above, except for the extra's that I have added on and no lid spoiler at that for the $21,302 price.
 
My car is the '07 S GT Sedan with the 5 speed sport AT. Awesome ride and sweet deal!!!
 
I have added:
 
Homelink rear view mirror with temp and compass
Full front nose mask
CAI with the K&N filter
Rear Lid Spoiler
Bose and Moonroof package
Wheel Locks
All weather floor mats
Tint
Seat covers front only
Front and rear deck dash mats Velour style (black)
Seat cushions, all 4 seats
Touch up paint
Upgraded the shifter and parking brake units.

No - I don't have a hatchback, I have a 5 speed auto black mica sedan as I said in my post. I was just asking why the hatchback and manual are cheaper. You got your car with ALL those accessories you listed for $21,302?!?!!? Really?!?!? I paid $600 more than you, but I didn't get the homelink mirror, front nose mask, seat covers. The only thing I have that you don't is the spoiler, which is NOT worth $600. That's crap! They said I was $400 above invoice. My car's MSRP was $23,090.
