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: papaiya (Dec 28, 2007 5:50 am) The lowest priced Mazda Speed3 we have lists for $23,105.00 (MSRP)......... Invoice is $21,914.00 .......Your Cost = $22,214.00 ($300 over Invoice) + $199 Doc fee. Hope this helps.......let me know. The other place said The MSRP of this car is $22,975. We can sell this car for just $22,112.26. Let me know when you're back and we'll do what we can for you. Hi again, It doesn't pay for me to send a less-than-best price and then lower it later. You have the price at which I will sell the car, make a small but fair profit, and be competitive with other dealers in my area. Good luck on your search, So no additional negotiating in my area. I guess they figure it's better to max their profits than sell a car. I'd have to take a bus to New Jersey to buy a car there and getting it back would be a nightmare the way my State requires you to register the car first, no temp plates. I'll keep looking but My Subie is pretty much ready to be towed away. I dread driving it because anything that breaks on it now is really going to cost me. Most dealers in my area don't really offer decent prices. They'll let you walk away and just don't care. |

Replying to: papaiya (Dec 28, 2007 5:50 am) Anyways, how about Doc and title fees? My dealer stated that doc fees are not negotiable because of law (?). How do I get in touch with the Attorney General to find out if this is true? Doc Fee is $150 License Plate Fee is $160 Drive Off is $15 (Claims it is Cook County tax) Now, I checked IL's DMV site and they say that Registration for new vehicle is (License Plates included) is $78, while new Title is $65. Total is $143, so they are sneaking a few bucks in. Doc fee seems a bit high as well, as I read some people giving advice not to pay more than $50 for this. Basically the fee for the dealer to go and file the paperwork with the state. The "Drive Off" sounds suspicious, but when asked, he claims that it was a Cook County Tax. On actual paperwork, if I don't see it say "Cook County Tax" (if it actually says Drive Off" I'll ask him to re-label it or he can just foot the minor $15 himself to finish off the sale, or I walk away over the $15. This way, I have some recourse if I find out it was just a lie to get more money. Probably not legally (since it's 15 bucks, its not worth it), but at least I can put them on the news and have a reporter get some answer for "the curious public". |
