Replying to: danielt70 (Dec 06, 2007 2:55 pm) So what is cost amount. Dealer - Holdback?    I'm looking at a 2008 GT Hatch w/ AT and Bose/SnRf for $20,400. I feel i still can do better.

Replying to: noah2383 (Dec 13, 2007 10:25 am) Yeah, Dougs has countered every offer I've received so far. They really want me to come in. The irony is my last car was just totaled, so I can't get to Lynnwood! UMazda has matched their offer though, and thrown in $100 credit for the parts department, although I'm not sure what kind of "parts" they mean. But they're really pushing me to come in this weekend, and I hear that after christmas you can get a better deal.
#3292 of 4324 what do you think of a price i offered for MazdaSpeed3 Grand Touring? by ncage1974 Dec 16, 2007 (9:48 am)
Hi everyone. I just went online to mazdausa.com and requested a dealer quote for a 08 MazdaSpeed3 Grand Touring. Only option i added was wheel locks. According to msn here is the price breakdown:                              Invoice MSRP Base Price* $22,497 $24,055 Selected Options $40 $50 Destination Charge $635 $635 Total* $23,172 $24,740   They had a comment section down told them that i would offer $23,300 along with the trade-in value that KBB quoted me for my truck. I also told them they would have to give me a very good interest rate. I do have top notch credit so.... What do you guys think? I hope to be joining the family soon!!! Smile   P.S. I was curious on resell value on the MazdaSpeed3 so i tried to go to KBB and see what a 2007 one with 10k miles on it would sell for. Well they didn't even have the mazdaspeed3. What gives? If you tried to sell it how would you since kbb doesn't even have it?   thanks, ncage
#3293 of 4324 Finally got the deal I was looking for! by robotica2 Dec 19, 2007 (4:31 pm)
After much back and forth between two dealerships, I finally got the mazda3 GT hatchback with moonroof/bose system, bumper guards, all-weather floor mats, and wheel locks for $20,400 plus tax& license. About $1000 below invoice, so I'm very happy! Ended up going to University Mazda, and they were great to deal with. Signing the paperwork was quick and painless, and the salesman went over the car with me thoroughly. He even bookmarked important pages in my manual while I was signing paperwork! Maybe that's standard practice (this is my first new car) but it was nice to feel taken care of, even after a hard negotiation.
#3294 of 4324 Need Help with OTD Figures on a 3 by ldl20 Dec 19, 2007 (5:47 pm)
Greetings. I am in the early stages of wrestling with myself over whether or not to take the plunge on a new 3 ( I'm still recovering from trading in my loaded V6 '05 Accord for an '04 Odyssey due to a growing family). Anyway, the wife likes the Odyssey, and it's nice to have the space, but I want something sporty to replace an '01 Elantra. I know, thanks for your sympathy.   For numerous reasons, the 3 seems like it fits for me. I happened to get a quote from the internet guy over at Wayne Mazda in northern NJ of 21,050 for a GT hatch in pearl white with auto, moon/bose, wheel locks, and 22,700 for the same car with navi. This seems real low, especially after looking at the prices on cars direct and edmunds.   So here's my question: Assuming the above is true, I know the tax would run about 1450.00, but what other typical costs would I incur to reach my OTD price? Here's what my '05 Accord Deal looked like on paper:   Documentation Prep charge: $106.00 Sales Tax: $1556 (I got charged more than 6% here-be careful, I guess they'll try to screw you anyway possible) Registration fees: $24.00 Title/Lien fees: $20.00 NJ Tire Fee: $7.50 Extended Service Contract: $869.00 (won't be doing this again) plus $25065 for the car (again, I thought it was 25K even, I guess the new car euphoria made me overlook those $65.00!), equaled an OTD price of 27486.   Any personal experiences with the breakdown of costs for any members would be of great help, as I estimated I could shoot for at least 22900 OTD w/o navi, if not 22500 OTD or lower. This time, I won't be getting an extended service contract, no matter how much of a sales pitch I get in the dreaded Finance Room.

Replying to: ldl20 (Dec 19, 2007 5:47 pm) Is it an automatic? Doesn't seem that low, especially this time of year. Read my story right above you, got the GT hatch with AT, moonroof/bose & some accessories for 20,400. OTD was 22,528, but tax is higher in Washington. Add in $79 for door guards (the dealer forgets to mention they add those on all their cars, but I wanted them anyway) and the rest is tax and license. Doc fee was $49. Edmunds has a list of doc fees and tax amounts for each state, although I'm not sure it's up to date? I was okay with the extra $14 over what edmunds says.

Replying to: robotica2 (Dec 20, 2007 1:42 pm) Yes, it's an automatic, and our tax rate here in NJ is 7%. What do you pay in Washington? Replies to this message: beattyfh (Dec 21, 2007 10:07 am) robotica2 (Dec 21, 2007 12:00 pm)

Replying to: ldl20 (Dec 21, 2007 7:16 am) Best deal I can find in Iowa after checking with three dealerships is $21,788.00 $1,089 tax (5%) $200.00 Registration Fee $59.00 DOC Fee for a total of $23,136.00 on the road. This is for a 08 GT aurora blue automatic hatchback, with bose/sunroof package, remote start and wheel locks. Also 0% fin for three years.
