Mazda3 5-door s model, thats the base model with no options no extras. Manual. Copper Red. I have X-Plan pricing, which puts me right at invoice. $17853. Also there is a $500 rebate for x-plan purchases now putting me at $17353. I won't accept any charges from the dealer for OTD costs (not supposed to get those under X-plan anyway) and of couse with taxes and title I'll be into the mid $18,000s. What do you think? Could I get better?  Note: its at Northtowne Mazda in Kansas City.

Leave the S plan or whatever they have for whatever companies in your area out of it. It is usually a marketing gimmick. You can always mention it later. Do 95 % of your work by computer and phone lying on the couch. I've read many messages of folks, some buying a 40000 otd luxury brand and beating their head against the wall with some mgr for hours to produce a coffee mug and a free oil change...must be great entertainment for break room chats. Its worth doing regardless if you need a car right now or not because the price they are giving is hardly anything to worry about losing. Good luck --jjf |

Replying to: scryer_360 (May 15, 2008 9:24 pm) 16.8K plus tax/TL/Reg. Definitely can get below 17K easily. Likely can get a lot lower if I have time. However, I need a car for work since my previous one is totaled and renting is getting very expensive for me. Pick a price ( if I have do it again, 16.3K to 16.5K, base on the post in this forum) and email the dealers around your area. Ask them to match or beat this price. Have couple dealers bid each other. From past experience, there is advantage to wait until the end of the month when there is quota to be met by the dealership. |
