You mention audio as a desired feature - GT gets Bose system. My wife has the Mazda3 5door because she liked the vehicle but would not accept a Black interior so we ended up with a gray "S" Model with a gray cloth interior. Needless to say I miss the climate control when I am in hers. In North Jersey look out for all the add ons by dealers - window etching ($200.), document fees!! ($300.), Galves trade in values which are much lower than the national standard Kelly Blue Book. In essence negotiate for an out the door price, including tax, title, documentation then talk about your trade in. Good luck!!

I am about to purchase a mazda 3 but the dealer i am working with claims that dealers don't use kbb for trade in value but that they use galves.com, never heard of galves and they were a good %50 lower in trade in value. ANy body know how i can get him to use kbb or get around this galves value which seems only to benefit the dealer not me. I am very concerned...

Replying to: ucdrums (Oct 26, 2007 8:36 pm) Galves is the book that most dealers use, in that region of the country.. You have it right... they pay you less for your car, it benefits only them.. You may have to shop around for a better deal, or consider selling the car yourself. regards, kyfdx

Dallas here. Just looked at a 2008 Hatchback, silver with black interior, auto, BOSE, moonroof, etc. Dealer gave me a price of $22,700 plus TT L, plus some kind of $250 fee for a total of $24,368. Said they're offering 0% on 36 month purchase. Seems high to me. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Replying to: pasquali56 (Nov 16, 2007 4:26 pm) As for galves, you want about what kbb.com or edmunds says wholesale. Perhaps less if it is a gas guzzler. I don't know how galves would be 50% off of the kbb or nada value unless the car is more than 5 years old or in the $2000 range. Good luck. --jjf Dallas here.

Replying to: elenem (Nov 20, 2007 1:49 pm) I just got a 2008 grand touring auto with the Bose/Moonroof package for $21,600 plus the $250 "doc fee." 1.9% financing for 36 months. I'm in the Boston area. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- was $21600 including tax?
