#3607 of 3654 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 3654 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 3654 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 3654 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.

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.
#3616 of 3654 Ready to purchase Mazda3 by missh Jul 24, 2008 (9:04 am)
I've been negotiating a deal on the vehicle below and here is what I've been offered:   Mazda3, sport, hatch, auto - $17,765 (including destination); no other options   add process fee $359 add T,T,L   I've been talking with about five dealers altogether. Two of the five have told me that they can't match nor beat this price. I have two others agreeing to match it.   However, I've been really wanting to get the sport model with the additional option of the sunroof/6-CD and I'm willing to pay invoice price of $765 on top of $17,765 which would bring total to about $18,500. So far I've got one dealer willing to sell for $18,980, but no one else is offering lower.   I'm trying to decide if this is good deal...any ideas??
