I was quoted a price of $22,112.26 for a Mazdaspeed 3 I'm trying to figure out if this is a good price It's the Sport model. The only additional fees are title $25 Documentation $195 No additional equipment. They say this is their best price. Edmunds lists Invoice as $21,493 They claim they can't do any better. What do you think? Good deal or can I do better?

Is it SOP for dealers to charge you the labor cost to add options onto the car you want buy? For example I agree to buy a car that does not include certain options that I desire, for example, Sirius radio The dealer tells me the cost of the option and labor cost to install it. Is this a skam?

Replying to: tiff_c (Dec 25, 2007 9:01 pm) Now, I read someone said that inv for MS3 Sport is actually $214xxx? If so, that is still way above INV, but it seems that MS3s are hard to negotiate on. I wanted to get the mirror with compass, and that tacks on $160 ($200 MSRP). With the Homelink mirror with compass, it's $250 ($275 MSRP). I'm also asking to get the 2008.5, which have two colors (Gray and White) which replaces Blue Mica and Silver. The 8.5 now plays MP3s as well have a black center console instead of the grayish silver on current 2008s. 8.5 are in production in Janurary 2008, so if my dealer puts in the order now, they will build it, and I will get it around March. Anyone able to get the price lower than $21,879 USD? PS: I was able to get a quote for a Civic Si (base) for $20,005.09  Nice car, but I still like the MS3 better... more power, more space.

Replying to: nad_masters (Dec 27, 2007 9:13 am) I just might buy the car outside of my area. They claim invoice is only $300 more than what they are quoting me. Edmunds backs this up but if this is true then they are only making $900 over invoice which Edmunds claims is $21,493. I guess it's tough to get a good deal on some cars especially if they are rare. I'd like to pay $21,000 even but doesn't look like it's going to happen. They don't sell very many of the MS3's and they don't discount them much. There is nothing else in the pipeline that I want to buy so I guess the dealer will make a few more bucks from me. I'll probably trade it in if something I like better comes out in 2010 or 20011. The dealers here claim it's there best price and will not lower it so either I buy out of Sate which is a hassle at this point but $21,879 would be a better deal and I'd probably buy it. I thought the Speed3 wasn't available in White? Any idea when that is coming out as I really like the look of the car in White over Red and Silver. |

I see tha White was added but it doesn't say it was added to the Mazdaspeed3. Looks like it won't hit the dealers until Feb or later and I have to buy a car 1st week of January. |

Replying to: tiff_c (Dec 27, 2007 7:40 pm) "Ok for the remainder of this week! We're offering on Either Red, Black, Silver Sport Mazda Speed3 which MSPR is 22975.00 we can do a best price of 21500.00 on any in stock mazda speed 3's! that 21500 includes destination " This is from Crystal Automall. Dont think just because its a speed 3 that you cant negotiate.
