#3084 of 4322 Re: Chances of getting 1.9% financing? [klaw2000] by gogiboy May 18, 2007 (12:19 pm)
Replying to: klaw2000 (May 15, 2007 5:25 pm) "How successful has everyone been in getting the 1.9% financing? Just how qualified do you have to be to be considered "most qualified." I have a credit score of 706, hoping that I'll be able to get it."   I qualified for the 1.8% back in March. My score is over 800, though. I'm not sure where the cut off is, but the F & I guy said the 1.8% was a teaser rate and few of their customers qualified. I'm not sure if that statement speaks to the customers who buy Mazdas or to the poor state of personal financial responsibility in America. The term is for 3 years or less so a lot of buyers are unwilling or unable to finance for such a "short" period. I strongly urge you to do it if you can since it's virtually like free financing.   Gogiboy Replies to this message: stallionre (May 19, 2007 2:50 pm)

Replying to: gogiboy (May 18, 2007 12:19 pm) I got 1.9% with a score of 820. I heard that if you have score of 800 or more with nothing bad on your credit then you can actually get the 1.9%, however most people won't be able to get it. This is what I heard. You are right about the 3 year loan at 1.9%. My monthly interest is $15.60 a month, therefore, it is like having a free interest loan for that amount of time. Works for me. I am happy about that, however, I put down $15K. So that makes a huge difference.   When a dealer tells you 1.8% or 1.9%, that is the selling point to try to get you into the dealership and then stick it to you for more than that. They know how to do it, that is their business.

Replying to: mxtra (May 18, 2007 9:21 am) In my opinion the rear wing spoiler looks aweful and riced out. Try gettting the rear lid spoiler. That looks sweet and not so riced out.

Replying to: mike245 (May 21, 2007 12:33 pm) Not to saying you are wrong, but in my area the cheap money is no good on the speed3.   2007 MAZDA3 4-Door and 5-Door 1.9% APR for up to 36 MONTHS (1)(4)   (1) Take new retail delivery from dealer stock by June 4, 2007. See dealer for complete details (4) 36 MONTHS MAZDA AMERICAN CREDIT FINANCING AT $28.60 PER MONTH PER $1,000 FINANCED. 1.9% APR ONLY FOR WELL QUALIFIED BUYERS. NOT ALL BUYERS WILL QUALIFY. AMOUNT OF DOWNPAYMENT AND OTHER FACTORS MAY AFFECT QUALIFICATION. Take new retail delivery from dealer stock by June 4, 2007. See dealer for complete details. Excludes MAZDASPEED3   So I would not count on the cheap money until the deal is done and MAC funds the loan.   Dennis Replies to this message: mike245 (May 22, 2007 6:38 am) dwynne (May 22, 2007 7:44 am) dwynne (May 22, 2007 9:14 am)

Replying to: dwynne (May 21, 2007 1:07 pm) Thats fair. I just got down to 1.8% this morning, though. And ya the speed 3 isnt the cheapest car around, but I find its a lot of bang for your buck. And I like it a lot better than the SI I looked at. I also dont want a car that will require me to have it in the shop every 3 days. I was looking at a couiple saabs, but everyone I know who has one has to bring it to the shop every few weeks.And even if I do need to get something fixed; I looked into it and the gallery has a really good service record.

Replying to: mike245 (May 22, 2007 6:38 am) I test drove an Si sedan yesterday (while they were changing the oil in my S2000) and I am heading out right now to drive a speed3. They just got one off the truck and I need to drive it before someone buys it . You can get cheap money on the Si for sure, around here no on the speed3. The $500 rebate coupon "for Mazda owners" they sent me also excludes the speed3 .   I am pretty sure I will like it better than the Si, but I can get the Honda for invoice or a bit less and about $800 over invoice is the best I can do on a speed3.   Dennis

Replying to: mike245 (May 22, 2007 6:38 am) It is not posted on the MUSA web page yet, but the dealership said they just got new promotion deals on the Mazda3. They still have 1.9% for 36, but they also now have 48 and 60 month rates (the 60 is 4.9%) - sound like the same deal as Honda is offering on Civics.   I checked, and the speed3 is again excluded from the cheap rates - at lease in my area.   Dennis

Just thought I'd add to the forum the recent deal we got for the daughter's car:   2007 Mazda3 S Touring automatic w/ Moonroof and 6CD package   Price before TTL: $19,624 (includes a "Philadelphia Assesment" of $193 and a "Warranty Retail Parts Recovery" of $32) Dealer showed me that this was the invoice (Edmunds shows $19,492 but doesn't account for the other line items). Also financed at 3.9% for 48 months.   Good, bad, or ?   BTW, this car rocks! A lot of bang for the buck, esp. with all the safety options the touring model provides.
