I purchased my i touring value edition on 5/31/08 in NY. The options where auto, moonroof, wheel locks. MSRP $19070, I paid $17,600 for the car, $1518 taxes, $10 inspection fee, $12.50 tire recycling fee, $45 registration fee, $150 plate fee (I received a $15 refund from the state), = total out the door $19335.50
 
I also got the 5 year 3.9% financing.

An average price on the i touring ve msrp 18100 (automatic) is about 16000 or so + tax and tags. Anything in the low to mid 15000's would be exceptional, at least for now. Your price of 17868 for everything seems about average or a bit better.
 
Good luck

Good price for a 3 by annasmolka

Hi folks,
I need some help here: I've been looking around for a new Mazda 3 i Touring automatic and one dealer quoted me what looks like a great price:
$15,800
that is for a bare 3 i Touring automatic, no options at all.
Destination included, dealer fee $699 and then add tax and tags.
So bottom line (out-the-door what they called it) price would be in the vicinity of 17,750.
Does that sound too good to be true or am I missing something?
The second closest quote was about $1,000 higher than that.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi, all. Looking for feedback please. In Allentown, PA:
 
2008.5 Mazda3 S Touring Auto Sedan. Only option is the moonroof/6 CD.
Given price of $19,990 plus tax/title/tags.
 
It seems to match up with the prices on CR/Edmunds but if the 2009's are coming out in 3 mos or so, should I be holding out for lower?
Thanks!

That's for a new 2008 i touring.
But now that I think about it I didn't even ask if it was the VE or not - I just assumed it was! I gotta email the dealer tomorrow.

I got a similar quote for a 2008 i Value automatic (not 2008.5) after some negotiating with only option ABS and side curtains (I think those come with Touring Value 2008.5?), and I bought the car. But what is that $699? Is that on top of the quote? That sounds like a phantom charge to me and changes the quote. Mine included destination, but there was no "dealer charge." Taxes and tags were extra. Anyway, I didn't feel like I got a rock bottom price, but I still think it is a decent price for the car I got, which except for the infamous lack of trunk remote, has the stuff and the performance I want.

For the 5 door hatch touring auto with sunroof, I think the msrp is about 21000, I would think 18300 (low 18's) is an average price (or more with 3.9 financing). For the hatch auto sport msrp 19600 in the low 17's is about average, very good being mid 16000s.
 
For the I touring ve auto msrp 18100 the low 16000's seems to be average, mid 15000's being unusually good. Prices inclusive of everything except tax and state licence fees. (Hint: add anything above $40 in doc fees to the price)
 
 I believe kbb.com puts the trade in of an 07 s sport auto 5 door in the mid 14000's so even the low 17000's is good for a new 08. A i touring 07, equipped like the 08 touring ve has a trade in of the low 13's so the low 16's (average) for a new 08 is still ok.
 
About the end of july or august you could knock off 500 or more on the figures, more so for the touring ve sedan as there seem to be a lot of them. The area can affect things too. There is a high demand for 30mpg vehicles the last 5 months. The last 50 cents to 4.00/gal upped the battyness factor tenfold.
 
Good luck

That's great to know, at least I'm going in the right direction..lol
 
Unfortunately, I declined. He says he will sell it to me for 17,029 + tax, etc.
 
A dealer offered 16800 and and another offered 16700..I want less..lol
 
If you say 16000 is about average then I will push for it. I mentioned to the sales guy that I heard these cars can be sold in the high 15,000 to low 16,000 range before tax and license, etc and he told me that's only for the sport model.
 
He seems determined to sell me a car..pushy almost. Anyone bought a car in the Seattle area?..I wonder if taxes and such differ.
