#3232 of 4324 2008 Mazda3 Hatch S GT with everything, but navigation unit by gishapir Sep 06, 2007 (7:05 am)
Got a really good deal from Pierre at Manhattan Auto Group. He was great to deal with and knew plenty about the car even though he's mainly a Ford salesperson. On to the price:   OTD sale price = $22,232.00 ($796 off Invoice). Since I wanted a '07 for 0% APR, but there were virtually none around like I wanted, they gave me a nice price on an '08 and then 1.9 APR won't break anyone's bank.   Car includes a few minor accessories like moon roof wind deflector, rear bumper guard and cargo tray.
#3233 of 4324 Invoice prices by dan_b_gilbert Sep 17, 2007 (4:17 pm)
I'm looking at a 2008 Mazda3 s Sport hatchback automatic. Edmunds quotes invoice as $18,261, but three dealerships now have quoted the invoice as $18,411. Has the invoice price changed recently? Should I be able to negotiate a price lower than the invoice price? Should I expect to pay _anything_ else on top of this besides tax and DMV fees, or can I confidently argue anything else away?

#3235 of 4324 $21300 for Mazda 3 GT...? by vtbrian Sep 19, 2007 (2:59 am)
Hello all,   Was recently quoted $21300 for a 2008 automatic 5-door mazda3s, grand touring, with the 2mc package (Moonroof, 6-CD and Bose Audio) option. This includes freight, but not taxes, tags, etc.   The lease price was $7300 with the one-pay (upfront) option. I am leaning towards the leasing option generally speaking anyway.   Would appreciate input on whether or not this is a good deal or if I can/should bargain for better. I did note that $21300 was only about $65 over invoice for that car and package.   Welcome your input.   Cheers, brian Replies to this message: pfje (Sep 19, 2007 3:33 am) dan_b_gilbert (Sep 19, 2007 7:20 am) vtbrian (Sep 19, 2007 7:22 am)

Replying to: vtbrian (Sep 19, 2007 2:59 am) What do you mean,..."the lease price was $7300 with one-pay (upfront) option."   What is the length of the lease? How many miles per year? Residuals? Money factor?   Thanks. Replies to this message: dan_b_gilbert (Sep 19, 2007 7:20 am) vtbrian (Sep 19, 2007 7:22 am)

Replying to: jfritsch (Jul 11, 2007 5:24 pm) jfritsch - first I thought the 1500 - 2000 off is msrp will be difficult, until I saw someone buying the Mazda 3 Sport for $17,165 (actually by markman post #3200, and thank you too markman).   For the 08, do you think I can offer $2,000 below msrp for a Mazda 3 S Touring Auto?   Curious, how can they go below invoice that much? I was quoted a Civic EX 08 (that I am going to buy when it comes anytime this week) way below the invoice, actually in the range you have been talking about. I get surprises everyday when I see some postings that I thought impossible.   When I saw your postings, I got curious and the Mazda 3 is now in my list. Thank you for the info. It is worth trying right? I will try a $2,000 off msrp. And if they agree, it is now between the 3ST and the civicEX.

Replying to: filod (Sep 23, 2007 7:29 am) Invoice price has become more or less a nominal figure over the last 20 years. It can be a fair to miserable indicator of the true cost of a vehicle to a particular dealer irrespective of holdback, etc. (i.e. not all factory to dealer incentives are publicized)   Check out my message 316 in the chevy silverado forum. Do not waste much time walking into dealerships once you know what you want. Separate the jokers (85%) from those serious end of the month within a 100-300+ mile radius of your home via fax or email and work the top 3 or so against one another.    A decent target price on 95% of production vehicles is around 15-20% more than the wholesale price of a 1year old used one. (via kbb,edmunds.com or nada.com) closer to 15 percent at the end of the model year. This would put the target price of a 19000-ish mazda3 hatchback in the 16xxx range. If you find one dealer 100 miles away for lower so much the better. If you're financing for 3-5 years be sure to get that in order as you can lose a lot more here than on pure price. You may have to pay up for a month or two on the 08s depending on model.   Also check out message 9919 on the Honda Pilot forum.   Good luck --jjf   jfritsch - first I thought the 1500 - 2000 off is msrp will be difficult, until I saw someone buying the Mazda 3 Sport for $17,165 (actually by markman post #3200, and thank you too markman).    For the 08, do you think I can offer $2,000 below msrp for a Mazda 3 S Touring Auto?    Curious, how can they go below invoice that much?
