Mazda3s MT Sedan - Seems like a steal by oldballcoach
May 20, 2008 (7:18 pm)
Reply
Am I missing something? The new 2008 Mazda3 (2.3L) Manual Tranny sedan "Old" Touring Edition that I looked at today had a MSRP of $18,198 on the sticker ($17,435 base price + $78 Mats + $50 Wheel Locks + $635 destination). The dealership here in central Maryland offered to sell it for a MRSP of $16,227 (includes the $635 destination) + $100 Dealer processing fee + $237 for tags and title.
 
My out the door price, based on MD 6% tax would be $17,558.
 
I have done a lot of reading on this forum. This seems like a great price for a Mazda3 S-edition with Manual Transmission. Am I missing anything?

The new i touring value pkg with auto (2.0liter ) msrp is around 18.100 and 17100 for manual. I believe the only thing you give up is the 2.3 liter but I would check on edmunds and compare. People seem to be getting the automatic around 16300.
 
Good luck

LOVING the 3 by usfcrim76

So my dad suggested I take a look at the 3 after having a Civic the last 10 years. He had a B-series truck when I was a kid and he loved it. Went to my local dealer and took a test drive...LOVE the 3. Just did an inventory search at a local dealer and they have 39 I-touring value and 20 I Sport. Wonder if I can get them in a bidding war with the other local dealer. I'm gonna try..

If tax in your state is $1200 or more pretty good. If tax is $100 not so good.

Thanks for the response! I did actually read that post and took that advice. I emailed every dealer w/in a 40 mile radius. If you say I should expect about $16500 (low end) for sale price, then I figure after 7% tax and any other fees they insist on . . . I should expect to pay about $18500. Why do you think I should wait until the end of next month?

Read my message 4681 in the hyundai sonata prices paid forum as well as my posts in the chevy silverado and dodge ram 1500 prices paid forum. Actually I would think this month would be quite good. Expanding the radius to get at least 20+ dealers times will produce 2-4 or more who really need to make a sale especially the last 3-4 days. I suggested next month in case prices aren't acceptable. This would depend on your position now. If you are renting a car for 800/mo, clearly that would affect things. 16500 would be a very good price for the automatic. With the high 16's low 17's the most probable (with all dealer fees plus tax and title separate). Also aggressively research finance options as you can get 500 or more lower on the price and give 1500 back in financing easy over 3-5years.
 
Good luck

Pls Help: Buying a '08 5-Door GT this Week by cmwien

I'd REALLy appreciate some input.
 
I want a 5-Door Grand Touring (automatic) w/Sunroof, 6cd & Sirius (No Nav).
 
Right now, I've got three dealers bidding against each other. The best number I've gotten so far is $20,500 before TTL (price INCLUDES destination fee). When I build one on mazda.com, the MSRP (including destination) is $23,600. It won't tell me the invoice with those specs.
 
I'm paying cash. Is this a good deal? How low can I get these guys to go? Please help. I'm supposed to go in tomorrow for another test drive.

KBB have this car's invoice price at $20869.00. So, you are getting the car at $369 below invoice. This is not a good price at all, especially you are paying cash.
 
I am in CA and 7 weeks ago, I bought a 2008 Touring at $1100 below invoice. I am sure you can do better than that.
 
One more thing, is your GT 2008 or 2008.5? (2008.5 had the MP3 Stereo as a std. feature.)
 
Good luck.

I didn't realize you could add options on KBB.com. I think you're mixed up with the invoice price. Including the moonroof/6cd package and Sirus, the invoice on a 5-door Grand Touring is 22,017. The offer on the table is 20,450. Am I crazy or is that price $1500 below invoice? Can I go lower?
