I bought a Mazda 3s Hatch (2008.5 Touring, Auto) earlier this month in Wichita Ks. In this area, the Mazda 3 is pretty popular, so we aren't getting the $500 to $1000 below invoice prices that others are getting. My car had a sticker price of $20,125 (it has no options above the Touring package). I ended up getting it for $19,100, which was $100 over invoice, plus $199 Fee, plus sales taxes. I could have got it for $100 less if I wanted to drive to Oklahoma City to pick it up from a dealer there, but it wasn't worth it. I think I could have done a little better if had waited until the end of the month, but i got the exact car I wanted. I think I got a decent deal.

Just picked up a Stormy Blue 2008.5 Grand Touring 5-door hatchback for $22,188 out the door. I was able to get them down to $21,000 for the car, which is actually under invoice. The car has the sunroof/Bose audio package, rear bumper guard, wheel locks and cargo net. I think I got a great deal. I bought from Malloy Mazda in Woodbridge, VA.

Just purchased a 2008.5 hatchback S Touring edition in NJ on 6/2/08. Galaxy Gray, Auto with no other options. I spent some significant time emailing the internet sales reps and after getting my top 3 quotes took a trip to the dealers. The first one let me walk out after asking $20,000 OTD (including all taxes, fees, and license). The second almost let me go, but then counter-offered (with reluctance) $20,200 and I caved. I also got the 1.9% financing (fortunately only had to finance about $5K after some money down and my trade-in). I might have been able to get a few hundred more off if I wasn't so impatient and tried to let another dealer match/beat that price. WHATEVER . . . I'm happy! ZOOM-ZOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That could be an below average deal (taxes and title 150) or really great deal (taxes and tag 2200) depending on what state you are in. The 1.9% makes it even better but you lose the benefit if you put money down. Don't put money down with subsidized significantly below mkt (5%) rates, thats part of the incentive. The more borrowed the better expecially with many bank accounts paying 2-4%.

Dear Art Guy,
 
I am interested in purchasing the exact car you did. Did you make the deal before end of May or after June 1? The reason I'm asking is that it's my understanding you can get a better deal at the end of the month.
 
I've just started sending out e-mails to several Mazda dealers in northern Virginia ...Malloy being one of them. I'm trying to hold out buying until end of summer...hoping to get sales price down to $19,000 for the exact car you purchased. What salesman did you work with at Malloy?

Right,
So recently I purchased a 2008.5 Mazda 3i Touring Value Edition for $17,200 out the door (tax, title, and Fees include in the above price) with a 3.9% interest rate for 5 years from Five Star Dodge Chrysler Jeep Hyundai Mazda Inc in Macon, Ga.
Seriously they have the best deal I have found anywhere. They won't kill you with over charge fees like most dealerships.

Hey I'm also in GA. I want to buy a Mazda 3 s sport or Mazda 3 s GT. When you guys negotiate does the car that you want, does it already exist on the lot? I figure if I'm going to spend around 20k I want to get the car that I want, with the color/options that I want.
 
How much do you think I should pay OTD for a Mazda 3 s GT - Automatic (black or white exterior) with the sunroof / audio package, compass with homelink, and a spoiler. If it has additional options I don't mind. Taxes for my county are 7%. Title and license is $300.
 
Thanks for your help!
