Replying to: fal900 (Aug 03, 2007 5:02 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 5:02 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 9:39 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 04, 2007 12:33 am) 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.

#3200 of 3654 New 3s Hatchback by markman Aug 06, 2007 (6:16 pm)
This evening we picked up a new 2007 3s Sport Hatch w/automatic. This will be my wife's new car replacing a 1998 Escort. Needless to say she is thrilled with the extra zip the 3 gives her. We did some internet shopping before visiting a dealer. We ended up getting the car from Jim Ellis Mazda here in Atlanta and we were very happy with the whole experience. Here are the $'s:   Mazda3s Sport Hatchback in Sunlight Silver with Grey interior and auto: $17,165.00 Dealer fee 399.99 Tax 1,053.90 Title 39.00   Total OTD $18660.89   I think this is a good price, considering it's almost under invoice including tax   We took advantage of the 0% finance offer from Mazda which makes the deal even better.

Replying to: markman (Aug 06, 2007 6:16 pm) I bought from Jim Ellis as well and got a great price. Well worth the 4 hour trip.
