Replying to: jfritsch (Jun 23, 2007 3:47 pm) I'm not sure what you mean by $3000 off. The hatch touring auto has an MSRP of $19970 and invoice of $18727. I've been offered it at $18900. According to Consumer Report, there is a dealer incentive of $388. So i guess the dealer paid 18727-388=$18339. How can they offer it at 3000 below MSRP i.e. $16970? I've never heard of anybody paying almost 2 grand below invoice for a Mazda3. Can it be done?

Replying to: cahal (Jun 23, 2007 8:46 pm) A 19700 MSRP model wholesales used for about $14000 after year 1 so you want a good chunk off a new one. 3000 off is more common on the Hatch though (and as you can see hardly giving the car away). Check out my message 14394 on the Accord prices paid forum for more useful info on how to buy a car. --jjf

Replying to: jfritsch (Jun 23, 2007 9:36 pm) i'm looking for a s GT automatic and i really want the 0.9% financing that ends on july 9th. (not sure if i can get it, but i'd like to try for it.) is it gonna be a bad time to contact the dealers now? (june 24/25th) or should i wait for july/aug, and hope that they may have financing offers in those months too.. thanks! |

Replying to: ike3 (Jun 19, 2007 9:55 am) I mispoke. I have a '00 Jetta. The new VW's aren't very fuel efficient, compared with the Mazda or a Honda. I was also rather disappointed in the build quality of the Jetta, compared with previous VWs I've owned (I have a '90 Corrado that I'm reluctantly going to part with and it has much better build quality than the '00... and it's 17 years old!). The new VWs are nice but after I test drove the Mazda and read the consumer reports recommendation, I was basically sold.

Replying to: sphinxridd (Jun 20, 2007 10:58 am) Sorry for the late reply. I went for a longer finance period but my credit is average, as far as I know. |

I got quote of 18,879 plus TTL only. The dealer confirmed that ONLY TTL would be added and no other processing or AD fees. If that is the case is this a good deal for a 2007 Mazda 3 s Touring with Automatic Trans? Id really appreciate any comparison info and also hope this quote helps others looking at similar trim! Thanks!

Replying to: rocketzo (Jun 25, 2007 2:31 pm) I was also looking at the Mazda3 s Touring Auto Hatch in the Chicago area. Got quotes of 18998 and 18900 +TTL. They were both by phone. I reckon you could chip a couple of hundred off but it seems to be about right. Invoice is 18727 according to Edmunds. I bought the Consumer Report thing that tells you what the dealer actually paid. According to that there is a 388 dollars hold back for the dealer, meaning the real invoice is 18339 or lower. Good luck. |

| I wanted to share my purchase details. Hopefully, it will help others. I purchased a Mazda3 Touring 5 door. Manual transmission, silver, 6CD/moonroof package, rear bumper plate, floor mats. Out the door price was $19,794 ($18,550 for the car + $930 tax + $65 for registration + $249 documentation fee). The dealership also threw in the first 3 oil changes for free. According to Edmunds, the invoice price on the car is $18,708. The documentation fee is a standard thing at dealerships in Massachusetts, and I've seen them vary from anywhere from $100 to $500. From my experience, it is not negotiable. I did internet pricing, and the purchase experience through North End Mazda in Lunenburg, MA was very painless. I qualified for the 0% financing and took advantage of that also. | |

Hi folks, This forum was helpful over the last couple months as I began looking into buying a Mazda3, so I thought I'd share my own purchase details. I bought a Mazda3 Touring 5-door, manual tranmission in galaxy gray from Mazda of Oakland. Invoice price according to Edmunds was $17,841. Another dealer had previously quoted me $17,700 so I took that to the Oakland dealer and asked them to beat it, which they did with the offer of $17,500. I don't have the out-the-door total in front of me but it was just the sale price plus the standard CA sales tax and DMV fees - no weird advertising fees or any of that. There was a bit of debate about whether I qualified for the 0% financing because even though my credit score was excellent I'm a first-time car buyer and I don't have a whole lot of credit built up, but after the dealership consulted with Mazda's finance department I was approved. The dealership was great. Friendly and easy-going all around. I was prepared for a battle once I got to the F&I office, but encountered nothing of the sort. The only add-on he tried to sell me was the extended warranty and when I said I wasn't interested he didn't press the issue at all. So far I'm loving the car. Haven't put enough miles on it to see how the mileage comes out yet, but it's a joy to drive. I was looking for something that had some cargo space since I transport equipment for my job pretty regularly, but I also wanted something that would be fun to drive. The 3 has fit the bill perfectly. |
