Hi, all. Looking for feedback please! In Allentown, PA: 2008.5 Mazda3 S Touring /Auto/ Sedan 4-door. Only option is the moonroof/6 CD. Dealer's price is $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!

I have a dealer i have been going back and forth on a price and here is the final offer. That is if they don't try and go back on their offer again. I'm in Maryland and the taxes are 6%. This seems like a good offer. The hatchbacks seem in short supply around here unless you want the GT with everything or a manual transmission. I have a feeling this deal is going to go south because the initial offer from the dealer included freight but subsequent offers have said it wasn't included. They were trying hard to get me to agree to the offers without the freight included. If i had done that i would have ended up paying more than the initial offer! price $16,845.00 moonroof $765.00 freight $650.00 ttl b4 ttf $18,260.00 taxes $1,095.60 registration $225.00 dealer fee $100.00 OTD $19,680.60 Color is storm blue and there are no other options than the moonroof and automatic trans. Thanks. |

Replying to: adonisjev (Jun 24, 2008 10:24 pm) Anybody know what dealers use to get their quotes for trade-in values? I can't get the dealers to increase their offers for my trade-in. They keep mentioning some kind of auction..I guess blue book values are useless when it comes to SUV's?

Replying to: rnsmel (Jun 25, 2008 4:19 am) Try to work with the 2-3 most eager (you've given some your cell #) and see the best you can work out . The best out of 20 is the best. You may have to show up to the 2 or 3 best guys to show them the vehicle. Its good to do it this way at any time but with an SUV especially as many will lose interest with an excessive amount of trades on hand already. (even the nice suv's they may put onto car carriers to auction, not on their lot due to the slow movement) The dealers may not even know how much below kbb value they will go for due to this unusual time. Many will drop out but they are competing on amount owed after trade. It doesn't really matter in any case what the book says on any car as that is an average price but now SUV's are selling notoriously low due to the massive trade ins. You need to work them and the finalists compete on the best out of pocket deal (with your trade). with financing (your credit union and banks as well as the dealers credit) if you are doing that. Good luck --jjf Check my quote a few posts back, it's without a moon roof though. However, another dealer in my area has the same exact car with the moon roof package for msrp 18130, 15.00 less than without...kind of odd i think. Anybody know what dealers use to get their quotes for trade-in values? I can't get the dealers to increase their offers for my trade-in.
