Replying to: dpeimer (Apr 29, 2008 7:24 am) I was wondering if you would tell me which dealer you purchased from in Richmond? Whitten or Pearson? I am also looking for a grand touring s with bose along with a few other options and hope to use your price as a negotiating tool!

I just got off the phone with a dealer. Auto S. Grand touring Fully loaded 19344 + 489 doc fee and 7% sales tax He says it has the sound package and moon roof. The only option it doesn't have is Navigation. What do you think? Thanks Laura

Well, after soliciting quotes from all the dealers near me, and at the nearest larger cities (I'm in a fairly rural part of the country - NW Iowa), here's the best I've gotten so far (tax, title and license not included, will be taken care of in my home county) for a manual 3s Touring with sunroof/6CD package: Minneapolis (Luther - claims to be no-haggle dealership, haven't tried to push them yet): $18,065 + $50 doc fee Kansas City (Blue Ridge) $17,658 + $200 doc fee Considering that I can travel to Minneapolis with my dad, who goes there every week for business, but would have to drive to KC to get the car there, the prices are pretty much a wash. Can I expect to get much better than this? Additionally, Luther will sell me a 3i Touring Value (manual, roof/CD) for $16,120 +$50 doc fee. Is it worth an extra $2,000 for the s Touring? The engines are rated pretty darn close, and after driving them both it's pretty much impossible to tell the difference from the driver's seat in normal driving. Does anyone have any experience with Luther in Minneapolis? Do they stick to their no-haggle policy, or is there actually some room in their numbers? Thanks in advance for your advice.

After much shopping around: Gaithersburg Mazda Gaithersburg, MD 20879 MSRP: $ 22,815 Lowest Bid: $19,650 + TTL After a week of negotiating, I backed out at the last minute and did not buy. I love the car, but after long consideration, I decided it's just too small for me. I literally had the paperwork in front of me when I backed out. I feel bad about teasing the dealer, but I feel good about the decision. There seem to be some great deals out there right now. This was a fantastic price.

Replying to: rbbrock (May 26, 2008 9:27 pm) The s and i differ by alloys, abs,side airbags and 2.3 liter engine? Plus whatever else only you can decide if its worth it. The i touring value edition has a msrp of 18000 as you describe. Has most of the features of the S with the 2.0 engine. There are tons of them around here. The lots should be full of them where you are too. I've got quotes in the 16000 range on these. They are techinically 2008.5 models I think. Seems like a good deal with the mid 15000's or less being a possibility. If the other quotes are on a 19700 car or so, they are nothing to write home about or jump on. You need to email at least 10 dealers to hit one or two who are behind on numbers end of month. Good luck --jjf |
