5dr Auto Mazda3 Touring Hatch Price by cahal

Just paid 18500+TTL+53 doc fee for an automatic touring hatch with no options (wouldn't pay for mats, pinstripe and autoguard but got them anyway for 'free'). And two tanks of gas.
 
Invoice is 18727.
Paid 18500.
 
Not a great price, but not a bad one either.
 
The car is pretty good for the price.

4 door S Touring price by sandeen

I'm dealing with Walser Mazda in Minnesota - it's a "no haggle, one price" place, and they really mean it. I think they've got a pretty good deal, though I haven't actually made the purchase yet. I'm looking at a Grey 4 door Mazda3 S Touring, here's what it's shaping up to be:
 
$18920 MSRP
-$1500 "Walser discount"
- $300 Coupon from mazda site (presented when you build a car online)
- $250 "friends & family" coupon (a friend bought at this dealer)
------
$16870 (for the car, still add in TTL etc...)
 
Seems like a good deal to me; the only thing that bums me out is there was a bit of paint scraped off one fender at some point on the lot, and while they'll fix it, it's no longer factory paint. They don't seem to want to discount for that... any thoughts?

I would write it into the agreement that you want to be satisfied with the workmanship or you will not be taking the deal.
 
p.s. of course you know this won't be the last scrape or ding or dent but only the first.

Of course... but I'd rather it be my ding and not some lot-jockey's.

I am seriously considering purchasing the Mazda 3 I-Touring Automatic 4 door, the only option I am getting is the Air Bag/ABS package. MSRP is 18,145 which includes a $595. destination charge. I have been quoted
17,221
1,076 sales tax
55. inspection
72. plates
50. document fee
38. for some other fee
18,511,77 total
Just Found the 300.00 discount for filling out a form online. So I will be using that. Thanks for that info.
Is this a good price or should I wait to see if there will be other discounts? Should I ask for more of a discount or maybe have the dealership throw in a few freebies like window tint, pinstripe, oil changes, etc. I have bought other 2 cars from this dealership was hopeing for a little better discount.

I've seen numerous ads for mazda 3 over the months for 4000 - 5000 off MSRP. The lower priced models seem to have the most discount. They seem to have a larger markup. A 19500 mazda 3 probably wholesales for about 14000 in a year so you want about 3000-3500 off.
 
Thanx

Wow, really? I haven't seen anything like that posted here. That would make a 3i touring come in at about $10k... you've actually seen such a deal? Where do you live, I may come visit.

Not where I live but Chicago and Florida. I think the base autos (15000msrp) may be seeing a lot of competition from other offerings and be discounted more. Also the ads were for only 1 or 2 vin #'s but very frequent. Russ Darrow in Wisconsin had one for 5000 off.(15800 msrp).
 
In any event, you want at least about $3000 off regardless.
 
Good Luck
