#3701 of 4324 Mazda 3i touring Manual by greensfirst Nov 09, 2008 (9:55 am)
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

Replying to: ellaa (Nov 07, 2008 5:10 am) do you think it is important to get a quote before a test drive? Replies to this message: ellaa (Nov 09, 2008 4:18 pm)

Replying to: greensfirst (Nov 09, 2008 12:38 pm) 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.

Replying to: biotech007 (Nov 01, 2008 7:12 pm) 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,
#3709 of 4324 Please help - 2008 Mazda3 I touring value edition 4dr ( auto) by luckyforever1 Nov 15, 2008 (10:35 pm)
Hi everyone:   I am buying my first car. After some research, I have decied to buy 2008 Mazda3 I touring value edition 4dr ( auto) standard. I have no experience about buying a car. Hope some of you can help.   The MSRP is 17155. I've read some posts on this board. Someone said for this model, should be able to get it 2500-3000 below the MSRP. Is it true?   I also want to get 0% APR (36 months) Mazda is offering. SO how much I should set for as my target price.   can someone advice? thank you very much in advance!   Linda Replies to this message: vampwang (Nov 18, 2008 8:00 pm)
#3710 of 4324 Just priced out a 2009 Mazda3 i Touring Value by shipo Nov 15, 2008 (10:48 pm)
The MSRP is $17,643, and the offer I got was $16,776 with either 0.0% financing for 3 years or 3.9% financing for 4 or 5 years.   luckyforever1: If the dealership is telling you that you need to pay MSRP to get the low financing, tell them "No deal" and walk out. I think you'll find that before you can drive to the next closest Mazda dealership, they'll call you. I mean, think about it, given our current economic times, cars aren't exactly flying off the dealership lots these days.   Stick to your guns, it's a buyers market out there.   Best regards, Shipo   P.S.   Learn to drive a stick and save yourself $900, the 5-Speed in the Mazda3 is a pretty sweet shifting transmission.
