Re: $18400 realistic OTD price auto i touring VE? [samduhman] by backy

These seem like high prices for a 3i VE, considering that the 6i VE is a much nicer car (IMO) and can be had w/o haggling in my town (Twin Cities) for $5000 off sticker, or around $17,000 for a car with 5AT and moonroof--which would be around $18,500 OTD.
 
The dealer's quoted internet price on the 3i VE is a bit above invoice ($17,014), so it seems legit (they can make some more money off the holdback).

What is included in this Value Package?
 
The best deal is the Mazdaspeed 3. It can go to a HPDE and mix it up with 350Zs, Boxsters, and E36 M3s all day, return 23 mpg in everyday driving, and it's dirt cheap considering the level of performance you get.
That's what I call a REAL Value Package...

Got my Mazda 3 finally!!! by samduhman

Made what I think was a fantastic score after researching and taking bids for two month I saved $1000 less than my next closest offer in my area.
 
I got a auto i touring value edition (yes, the newer version) for $17254 OTD! I don't have the exact figures but this is close enough to give you an idea.
 
tags - $230
taxes $950
processing $100
 
Ben Starke at Ourisman Mazda in Laurel MD came in with the lowest offer without knowing my other 10 or so offers. He promised he would not hassle me trying to increase the price and make the transaction quick and painless. I went totally expecting it to fail but he totally kept to his word. Great personality and knew the vehicle. I didn't feel pressured (other than my own cautiousness that he would pull something which he didn't ) I only go to the trouble to write this because of al the hassles I received from other dealers while shopping. So he deserves the credit. I know who Im checking with first for my next car.

Just bought an '08 Mazda3 Grand Touring. It's silver with the Bose/Moonroof package plus wheel locks/cargo net. I got the price down to $20,590 (before taxes/fees) which was $950 below invoice. Very happy with the transaction and love the car!

I was also looking to visit Ourisman Mazda for my new Mazda 3. Can you tell me what options you got? What was the sticker price? Also, were any of your "10" offers from any dealers in the Baltimore area? Thanks and good luck with your new car.

I went with the standard options. They put wheel locks on all cars so that's an added $50. The window msrp was $18180.
 
I requested offers from Va (northern Va, Richmond, Fredericksburg) , College Park, Owings Mills and Frederick MD. I solicited enough dealerships IMHO to feel I got a good deal for this area. I found Fitzmall to be a good starting point. No dealer could beat them (without a hassle) until Ourisman underbid them significantly.
 
If you decide to go to Ourisman make sure you deal with Ben Stark and mention my name (if you feel like it ) I get something for sending them business...forget what it was now.
