I just picked up a 2008.5 Mazda3 5-door Grand Touring in Crystal White Pearl Mica with the Air Dam, Cargo Tray, All-Weather Mats, Compass/Autodim, Moonroof/6CD/Bose, SIRIUS, Moonroof Wind Deflector and the CWP Charge of $200. Sticker was $24,798 . The internet sales manage provided a quote of $22,700 and I ended up paying about $22,250 with the 3.9% before taxes, etc. Took it off the showroom floor at Ourisman Mazda in Laurel, MD. I had talked to the internet sales manager before, but he could not locate a white one, so I waited. He contacted me the day it arrived and I drove it off the showroom floor with 5 miles on it later that evening. I couldn't be happier with the dealer. I did some research on Edmunds right after he sent the quote and I went down ready to buy. I offered him a monthly payment ($400/month), a term (60 mos.) a down payment ($2,000) and a finance rate (3.9%) and said "make it happen". We finally agreed on $403/mo. after the sales manager made an original offer of $453/mo (which would have meant paying MSRP!!! HA!). I think I also made them very disappointed when I turned down all the add-ons like undercoatings and extended warranties. But the finance guy was very nice and did not charge me extra for the Chesapeake Bay tags. Hope this helps! |

I just got a offer for this car OTD for $17,291. It doesn't come with any options other than wheel locks I believe. That seems like a good price but was wanting to get some feed back if I could. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: mmenard (Jun 17, 2008 7:22 pm) You may be able to finance the vehicle for 18000 or less over 36 months at mazda's 3.9 % for 600 or so and own the vehicle. Avoid putting money down on a lease. Its like putting 2000 down in advance rent for a apt for 400.mo. Doesn't get you anything and if the building burns down (the vehicl gets totalled) good luck getting your dough back. Most lease insurance only pays for the remaining payments and the remaining value of the car I believe (to the bank). Good luck --jjf |

A bit off topic, but this is a very active board. Spoke to an area Mazda dealer here in western NY state. He thinks that heatable outside mirrors will be available on the Touring and Grand Touring versions. Release of the 2009 model is in September. Any sales type read or heard similar? If this is true, it will be the first time this feature is available for the U.S. market. Canada has been getting this feature all along, except for the base model. Also, will LED tail lights and brake lights be available on lower trim levels for '09? |

hey everyone im back again..lol i got pre-approved for a loan, now i can actually put more thought into buying the car. what's a good OTD price for a 2008 mazda i touring value, standard no options. tax in wa is 9.8% title and license, etc probably around 300.00 I offered the dealer $18317.00 OTD he said he couldn't based on my monthly payment request if i financed thru them. Now that I have a loan what would be a good offer? I just emailed the same dealer ive been in contact with and OTD price of $17868.
