#3606 of 3688 Navigation and Color?? by ylz Jul 16, 2008 (4:01 pm)
Hello everyone. I decided I'm buying a 2008 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback. I have two important questions and would love to hear feedback on it so anything would help. First, how is the Navigation in this car? Someone who has the Nav, please comment on this. I mean, honestly I really want it cause it looks good and I'm always travelling and a Nav system would come so in handy. And the second question I have is what color do you guys prefer. I was all set on black until I went to the dealership today and saw metropolitan gray. What a gorgeous color! Its like dark grey but with a touch of blue. Actually, it looks bluish-grayish. I know these two things seem unimportant but it will really affect my decision on this car. Ok, thanks a lot. Replies to this message: eviltrain (Jul 19, 2008 5:53 pm)
#3607 of 3688 Mazda3 S Grand Touring 5d w/ moonroof by eviltrain Jul 19, 2008 (5:47 pm)
Since this forum helped my in pricing my Mazda3 2008, I thought I'd share my final price with you all.   I bought a S Grand Touring 5-door with the moonroof and bose package along the the compass/homelink rear-view mirror on Wednesday July 16th. The listed MSRP in the window was $23,725.00. Edmunds is showing an invoice price of $21,893.00. I got it for $21,564.00 or $329.00 below invoice.   I was originally quoted an internet price for a GT 5-door for $20,990.00 with moonroof and bose package but the color was wrong and I asked them if they could price me a GT with the right color. They charged me an extra $564 dollars just because the one I wanted had the homelink/compass rear-view. I wasn't too happy about that but considering this a first time purchase for me, I don't think I did too badly.   The dealership I got my car from was Phillips Mazda in Laguna Hills, CA.

Replying to: ylz (Jul 16, 2008 4:01 pm) I just bought a new GT 5-door in Metropolitan Gray earlier this week. I completely agree that the color is absolutely gorgeous though the undertone comes across as more greenish than bluish to me.   Anyway, I have no experience using the DVD navigation system by I opted not to buy it for the simple reason that I consider it to be very overpriced at $1,670.00 invoice for the option. Seems like after-market would be the better way to go though I can certainly understand the appeal of using a clean, integrated system.
#3609 of 3688 2008.5 Mazda3 4-Dr S GT 5MT Silver by dinosaurkun Jul 20, 2008 (3:47 pm)
Hi guys. I'm pretty new to the whole car buying experience, so I was wondering if y'all could give me some advice. The dealer quoted me at $20,200.00 + TTL and fees. I think that he said the OTD price was ~$21,700.00. The only added option is that moonroof/bose thingy. It's about $600 less than the invoice listed on Edmunds.   And does anyone know when the 2009's will come out? The dealer guy claimed to not know, and I haven't found any solid information.   Thanks in advance! Dino
#3610 of 3688 2008 Mazda 3 iTouring VE or S Touring Auto by xmom Jul 21, 2008 (11:16 am)
Hello- I am in the Atlanta area, and need advice on what prices I should expect to pay on either the i Touring VE or the S Touring in Automatic. So far I have a quote for $16100 for the i Touring.   Thanks folks Replies to this message: brted (Jul 21, 2008 8:09 pm) tgeorges (Jul 23, 2008 12:33 pm) kingpcgeek (Jul 23, 2008 1:59 pm)

Replying to: xmom (Jul 21, 2008 11:16 am) I'm in Atlanta too. I bought a 3i VE with sunroof/6 CD with manual transmission in May at Mazda of Roswell, but I think the deal would be the same: $2,000 below MSRP ($1,500 taken off the price and a $500 instant rebate). Also got 1.9% financing for 36 months. I dealt with their internet sales guy. Sounds like you are in the right price range already, though with a lot of work and haggling maybe you could get a little lower.
#3612 of 3688 looking to buy mazda3 by ronbo08 Jul 22, 2008 (5:47 pm)
I'm interested in purchasing an 08 mazda3 s touring sedan that I found at my local dealership. I'm new to new car buying, and would love some info. I have the option to purchace with cash in a month or so, and I'm wondering how much I should ask off the sticker price. The one I'm interested in is around 21,000 to 22,000. I have a trade in although it's not worth much.
#3613 of 3688 2008.5 mazda3 i touring value(automatic) by shawn89 Jul 22, 2008 (8:03 pm)

Replying to: xmom (Jul 21, 2008 11:16 am) I live in metro Atlanta, too (Roswell) but went over to Jim Ellis Mazda in Marietta to get a 2008 3 i Touring automatic (not the i Touring Value - so mine does not have 17" wheels, ABS, or side airbags). It was technically a "used" vehicle, but had only 75 miles on it as it was an unused dealer loaner. As a certified pre-owned, it had an 8 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty and the remainder of the 3/36,000 bumper to bumper. I paid $14,988 for it. There are about 4 more on that lot in the same boat so to speak - new, but really certified pre-owned. I know there's at least one other at that price, and a couple others for $1000 more.   My experience was great. This is the very first foreign car I've ever owned, and I picked it based on reliability, performance, value, and how well it "fit" me and my situation.   I know that there are i Touring Values running into the $16K and $17K but my goal was $15k or under and so far I couldn't be happier.   My son, of course, wanted the RX-8 that was on the lot for $15,988. I almost got it.   -Tom Replies to this message: kingpcgeek (Jul 23, 2008 1:59 pm)

Replying to: tgeorges (Jul 23, 2008 12:33 pm) My son, of course, wanted the RX-8 that was on the lot for $15,988. I almost got it.   I test drove one a couple of years ago. What a blast to drive, but lousy gas mileage and from what I hear loves to use about a quart of oil every other fill up. Reason I didn't buy it? My wife's legs were too cramped with her purse on the floor in the passenger seat.
