I chose to go with the 2008.5 because I knew I could get a better deal than on an 09. Not much diffs between 08.5 and 09, so didn't matter to me. There are 08, 08.5 and 09s on most lots in my area. The 2010 is coming soon, they want to sell these, so if you can stand your ground you should get a decent deal on any of them IMO.

23,000 miles. Internet cost; 14,975. certified pre-owned (standard, no add ons) I am thinking a good deal would be 14,500 OTD.
 
9.2% sales tax in Washington (crazy)
 
What do you think?
 
Should I test drive first before I request that price? or should i start talking price before i even go in for a test drive?
 
thanks

do you think it is important to get a quote before a test drive?

I like having quotes before the test drive since it helps me choose who I might want to negotiate with further. I had several quotes, planned to visit cheaper (and most straightforward) dealerships first. I figured if I didn't like the car after a test drive I could just leave.
 
I feel a bit like a hostage by dealers after a test drive of a car I like. I don't want to spend time with a salesman unless I know we are in the right neighborhood on price. Getting the quotes in advance helps us both understand the potential for a deal.
 
Figure out how much you want to pay before you get to the dealer and stick to it. Don't be afraid to leave. Check the inventory online to see how many of the car you want are on the lot. In this economy, most dealerships need you more than you need them...there is always another dealer to visit. We left 2 dealerships without a better deal than I had gotten online. I was pretty sure one was ready to move on price, but not enough that day so I left. They called the next day and we had a deal over the phone and the car 2 hrs later.

Hi There:
 
Did you buy 2008 mazda i touring value 4 dr with automatic transmission?
 
I am planning to buy the same model, but the price I was offer are very hight 16000 plus destination charge and TTL. Did you buy with cash or a car loan. If it is latterm did you finance your car through the dealer or another bank. Mazda is offer 0 apr%. But the dealer said I can only get 0 Apr with MSRP, which I think it bull.
 
It will be my first new car, and I am a green hand. Hope you can offer some insights. If you do not mind, could you let me know your dealer.
 
thanks much,
