Replying to: adonisjev (Jun 24, 2008 9:24 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 3:19 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. They keep mentioning some kind of auction..I guess blue book values are useless when it comes to SUV's? |

Hi everyone! First of all I wanted to say "thanks" for the invaluable information I gathered from this site. If it wasn't for you guys I would have overpaid for this vehicle BIG TIME! So I went in last night and signed all the paperwork and I picked up my new baby today. Mazda3 i Touring Value Edition Auto no options added (even though sticker was $19100 because of some minor dealer added stuff that I didn't even pay attention to) Sunlight Silver Metallic/Black Cloth $17340 OTD (including taxes, dealer fees and tag) They had a whooping dealer fee that I refused to pay. They said they wouldn't discount it so I had them discount the vehicle price. Ultimately they gave it to me for $15500 with the $598 dealer fee so basically $16100. What do you guys think - not a bad deal huh? zoom zoom zoom |

Thanks to all who post, I've learned from your experiences. Yesterday I purchased a Copper Red Mazda3 Hatchback Touring Auto MSRP was 20,010 OTD was 18,700 (1.9, 2.9, 3.9 mazda financing was available) I also considered a Sedan TVE and found the discounts much better. I had a price on the Sedan TVE (+ wheel locks and cargo net) of 16,268 OTD (15,735 before TTL etc and the $500 mazda rebate) The hatchbacks at all dealerships were tougher. Few in stock models and just not as willing to deal as they must be good sellers locally. Considered saving the $2400 and going with the sedan, but I keep my cars for a very long time and opted to get what I really wanted. |

I'm in Houston, TX. The salesman I spoke to told me that he would need to put the car I want on order. He said it would take 8-12 weeks for the car to arrive if I put it on order I want your opinion on the price he quoted: MSRP - $19,100 Car - $18,000 This is the car in detail: - Mazda3 Hatchback Touring - manual transmission - color: copper red Thank you! |

Location: Indianapolis area MSRP: $18145 - no extra options Hey guys, I've been e-mailing local dealers about this car and the lowest price I can get so far is $16883. Whenever I ask other dealers if they can beat that price, I get no response. I'm thinking about going into the dealer that offered the lowest price and trying to get them down around $16000. What do you think? Thanks!
