Replying to: cmwien (May 22, 2008 2:16 pm) How do we know? Tell dealer one that your wife really prefers the color at dealer two, and likes the nissan screwball 3000 hatchback also but can he meet or beat dealer two's offer of 19,945? (20,450 -2%). Let dealer 3 know too. See what happens as end of the month (this time of year sometimes june 2 or so) nears. Try another 2% off if a dealer hits that bid. If things stall try $200 lower. Be talking with store or fleet managers and not the flaky salesmen or internet managers at this stage. Solicit bids from about 20 dealers (if you haven't already) within a radius of your home and work the 3-4 or so who may want to play. A ballpark target on most production autos is the wholesale (trade in)value of a year old model (07 in this case) used that you are looking at + about 20% (kbb.com, nada.com) If you get below that more power too you. --jjf 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?

Replying to: jfritsch (May 22, 2008 2:39 pm)  The price I've got right now is $500 more than the wholesale value of last year's model + 20%. I guess that means I'm in the right ballpark, but have some wiggle room to drop it. Thanks for the responses. Very helpful. I'll post the price I end up paying. |

| I just bought mine tonight after keeping my Civic for 10 years. The salesman said build the car I want and he would take $2,000 off MSRP. I got the i Touring Value with manual transmission and moonroof/6cd package. MSRP was $18,135 including $650 shipping, so he sold it for $16,135 plus $399 dealer fee (plus taxes; the only wrinkle was that there is a $500 rebate included in the price above so I had to pay sales tax of 7% on that $500 only to get the $500 back at the end). $16,534 paid vs. invoice of $16,954. Also got 1.9% financing for 36 months. | |

Replying to: bmili (May 15, 2008 9:51 am) I'm in DFW, got a quick price quote offer for 16438 for "any mazda3 on the lot" from freeman, and noticed you bought your iTV from there. Who'd you talk to there to get such a good deal? (EDIT: I just saw, you talked to Clay, helps if I read the whole post!) And I notice on the mazdausa website that they're offering 3.9% for 60 months on the 3's, was the extra 1% you paid necessary to make the deal? |

Dealer builds Mazda 3 H/b 5spd MSRP $22605.00, I can't build this car or find invoice. It has leather ,Heated seats,homelink,moonroof ,compass all the bells whistles. Heres the deal otd.Sell for $21,700 Sales tax $1099.95 Doc Fees $299.00 Maine Title arb fee$24.00 Total $23,123.95 Delivered The dealer is a friend of many years, so he tells me this deal is 4% over invoice. I sold my Type S in one day,what a mistake. Well I offered him $22100.00 and I still think thats too much. What is the invoice?Do just go to Edmunds TMV for the Mazda h/b guess for example leather is $1500.00 moon roof $700.00 and so on?

Replying to: jfritsch (May 24, 2008 7:45 am) Also, the people that gave me the quote refused my counter offer of $ 22,100.00 saying it was $600.00 under invoice. That they wouldn't loose a sale over $100.00 dollars and thats available to them,but $22,100.00 isn't a goal that they can reach. Again I thank you.

I sold my Type S in one day,what a mistake.
