I bought a 2008 silver Mazda3 sport hatchback auto for 17369 plus GA TTL. A cargo net and auxilliary cable were thrown in as well. I got the 4.9 % APR on financing. This was the 31st of January so the dealer in Atlanta had a special ($2500 off MSRP) which led to this price. I think it worked out well. They also have a regular $200 off MSRP going on right now (Roswell). Good luck with your purchase!

I can't swing the cost for a new one so started looking at used. Im very suprised to see (online) the cost for used Mazda3s only a little bit less than brand new ones. Im talking about 2005s with 15,000 to 30,000 miles on them. How negotiable are these "internet" prices?

As the consumer, I understand that isn't the ideal situation. But for us Mazda3 owners and as proof of the car's quality and value, strong resale is a very good thing!
 
I shopped around for a used '04 or '05, but learned rather quickly that the MZ3 has Honda-like resale values. I actually ended up buying an '06 new for less than most of the used ones I'd considered. I had to be a little flexible (originally wanted a sedan with sunroof, but ended up buying a 5-door without sunroof), but I'm glad I did.
 
I would strongly suggest that you at least get a few quotes on a few new ones. I know the dealership by my office has several '07s left, so there are some still around. I looked at one when I dropped mine off for service last week and it was $2300 off MSRP for an s 5-door Sport- $16,495. If you're really trying to keep the price down, try to find an i Sport 4-door. You could probably snag one for under $14k.
 
Good luck.

Does anybody live in the SF Bay Area? What's the rock bottom OTD price so far? Can someone give me some advice?

Buy mine. Please. I hate the damn thing. High insurance, rotten dealership, tires from hell, lousy driving position, squeals, humming, lousy heat, lousy AC
Can't wait to get rid of it.

I am looking to figure out where to go to get the best price on a Mazda 3 Grand Touring. If anyone could give me some suggested places that would help me considerably. Thank You.

You're absolutely correct. I'm not a lying, cheating, arrogant, pushy, obnoxious, mysoginistic piece or crud.
Perhaps you could give me some lessons?

Or I could just hang around Partyka Mazda in Hamden, CT and soak up all their goodness.
I'm more than willing to take a big hit in depreciation for a 2008 model that scores so well with former Kia buyers.

Could I recommend a nice cheese to compliment your whine?
