Replying to: stallionre (Apr 18, 2007 11:07 am) 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.

Replying to: jong81 (Apr 18, 2007 5:02 pm) Thanks for your info. My car was $21,302, plus the extras so I paid $22,500 with everything that I have listed above. I got the Rear Lip Spoiler, instead of the Wing spoiler. Basically I got some of the Accessories, Moonroof and Bose unit for free, since I negotiated the price of the car. Awesome deal for me.

Replying to: jong81 (Apr 18, 2007 5:02 pm) From everything i have seen the hatchback and sedan are the same price at MSRP. BTW 07 Aroura blue sedan 5-speed GT purchased in OCT 06 paid 20,550 Replies to this message: stallionre (Apr 19, 2007 11:06 am) jong81 (Apr 20, 2007 5:27 am) bigfur (Apr 20, 2007 12:29 pm)

Replying to: bigfur (Apr 19, 2007 10:38 am) That is what I have seen too. I wonder why the same price, since the Sedan I think would cost more to make because of the truck and rear flip down seats, Plus all leather and the extras that they have. I wonder how they do it?

Replying to: stallionre (Apr 19, 2007 6:54 am) Oh! Okay, so I didn't get such a bad deal, then. $21,916 is what I paid after extras. I thought you were saying you paid $21,302 INCLUDING the extras. I don't know what my price was before extras - I was just quoted one price. It was how the car came. It was a match made in heaven. . I had 5 different dealers fighting over the sale. In retrospect, I would have liked the auto-dimming rear view mirror and the navigation. By the way, EVERYONE has these cars lately! I was stopped at a light the other day, and I looked around me and there were 2 other Mazda 3s ('06) and a Mazda 6 at the light with me. Nuts!   How does it look with the lip? I've never actually seen it. You got a pic? Replies to this message: stallionre (Apr 20, 2007 7:58 am)

Replying to: bigfur (Apr 19, 2007 10:38 am) Yeah ... I just checked the website. It used to be that the hatchback was like $1000 cheaper, but that was back when I was pricing in September. I think it's the same to manufacture both. When you think about it, the 5 door has trunk release, and there's all that extra metal to make the hatchback - so it probably balances out. That's a good price ... I love the Aroura blue - that was my second choice. What options did you get? Replies to this message: bigfur (Apr 20, 2007 12:29 pm)

Replying to: jong81 (Apr 20, 2007 5:16 am) You got a got a good deal. I think anyone who gets it below or $100 above invoice are also getting a good deal. The rear lip spoiler looks awesome. Wow, it sure makes the car look different. I think the wing spoiler will make the car look cheap and like if I was in my 20's, which I am not. Plus with the Wing, you can't really see out the back window, and the window is small enough with the two head rest in the way. I will try to post some pics however, when I tried last week, they would not take. Do you know how to properly post pics on this site?   I have the auto-dimming homelink mirror and it is awesome. It opens my security gate garage door and turns on my garage lights. I also have the all weather floor mats and they look great!!! I love the front Mask, some say it looks awful, but it actually looks awesome!!! I would love to post pics.   I bought a shark fin antenna and the 3rd stop brake light an all LED bright light. Should get in two weeks.

Replying to: jong81 (Apr 20, 2007 5:27 am) Only option i got was the Bose/sunroof option. Had everything else i wanted already. Added Sirus radio later, as an add on unit. Reason i went with the add on is that i can take it from car to car.
#3059 of 4324 Navigation? by JBaumgart Apr 20, 2007 (5:21 pm)
Anyone get the NAV option? Based on what I was told by my dealer and from what I can tell checking all local dealers' inventory, navigation seems to be very rare on Mazda3's.

Replying to: JBaumgart (Apr 20, 2007 5:21 pm) Its rare because so few people want it being such an expensive option. I believe its in the neighborhood of 1700 dollars (im sure someone will correct me if im wrong). You can go to best buy or circuit city radio shake etc etc and pick up a hand held navigation system for less then 500. Plus you can take the hand held into other vehicals with you. Seems to make more sense to me that way.
