#3190 of 4314 Price on 2007 3s Touring Hatch in California by zante64 Aug 02, 2007 (2:49 pm)
Replying to: markman (Aug 01, 2007 1:31 pm) Purchased a 2007 3 S Touring hatch. Black ext w/ 5sp. Only options were the rear step gaurd and wheel locks. (also the PZEV version of course)   Paid $18,300 in July, 2007.   (we were inflexible about the color and man trans) So we could only find this combo in Sothern Cal - we live in SF Bay Area. We negotiated via phone - took about 3 minutes! I flew to Long Beach ($100 one-way ticket) the dealer picked me up at the airport before the dealership was even open. I got to the dealership at about 8:20am. All papers done and I was on the road for home before 10:00am!   Absolutely easy and great experience! Can't say eough good things about them.   Browning Mazda in Cerritos, CA.   A side note - Mazda's online Chat Assistant was a huge help in helping locate the exact car we wanted.

Replying to: fal900 (Aug 03, 2007 4:02 pm) FYI, you can't get just rear side curtains on the Mazda3--they stretch from front to rear. Which is really what you want, right?

Replying to: fal900 (Aug 03, 2007 4:02 pm) Don't even mention that you have a trade-in to the dealer before you reach a price on the Mazda. Car salespersons use what's called a "4-Square." They even have a form that is literally divided into 4 squares. It's really designed to misdirect your attention from one aspect of the sale to another. As in - if they know you have a trade-in, they'll use that to adjust the selling price of the new car. More for trade-in = higher new car selling price. Also - never get into a discussion on what sort of monthly payment you want to make. Same rule applies: Aways establish the price you are willing to pay before you discuss any other aspect of the deal.   Good luck! Replies to this message: fal900 (Aug 04, 2007 8:39 pm)
#3194 of 4314 2007 3 GT by jt120 Aug 04, 2007 (2:31 pm)
I bought a 2007 3 GT manual sedan with sunroof/bose package for $19275. The MSRP was $21725. The otd price with tax and fees was $20034. I think I got a great deal.

Replying to: zante64 (Aug 03, 2007 11:33 pm) I know thats the rule of thumb to negotiate new car price first before mentioning a trade. On the other hand after you have negotiated your great new car price they will just low ball you on your trade in. They can work it both ways. I have tried it both ways with several dealers not disclosing anything about trade in financing etc.
