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!

Replying to: ravenfan50 (Apr 30, 2008 5:22 am) 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.

Does anyone know when will the the Mazda 3 be totally redesigned? I am interested in possibly purchasing it but do not want an older body style if a new one will be out in a couple years or so. thanks!!

Replying to: kennynmd (May 05, 2008 10:08 pm) p.s. salesman are wary of talking about these types of changes for the very reason that you noted: do not want an older body style if a new one will be out in a couple years |

2008 Hatch Touring w/ sunroof out the door for $19,000 here in MA (Got it for 17,955 and MSRP 20,200). But thats not all, the dealership is throwing in a 3 day/2night, air-fair, at the NewYork NewYork Hotel in Vegas. Beat that one! Bwahhahahahahaha (if you don't believe me here is the sight, I thought it was a BS and so didn't my sales person when they first offered it, but I've scanned over every single fine print and its perfectly legit) http://www.gallomazda.com Ideally I'd like to get more off the price rather than a mini-vacation, but beggars can't be choosers! Take that for an incentive.
