Replying to: orca3 (Nov 19, 2008 12:54 pm) I stopped at Werner yesterday and got a similar impression as you, although I was mainly just there to see what they had on the lot and get a feeling for whether they might want to deal. The guy was an a$$, to be polite, and gave the impression that the 3's were just flying off the lot (in this economy, yea right). He also basically told me they didn't want my trade (98 A4, 164k miles), and that I should put it on Craigslist and come buy a car from them after. Yea buddy, I'll do that. Do the Mazda dealers swap vehicles amongst themselves if someone wants a option/color combo they don't have on the lot? I bought a Nissan a number of years ago and they "sold" me a car that was on the lot of another dealer. Does Mazda do this as well?

Replying to: hakky (Nov 19, 2008 2:25 pm) My dealer(Kings Mazda in Cincinnati) traded with another dealer to get my Mazdaspeed 3. Kings had the car flatbedded from Cleveland at no added cost. |

Hakky - If you see an 09 True Red with an IRA sticker on it around town that's mine(although my son's been hogging it). I believe there are 2 others of the same color in town too - one's a 2007 and the other an 09 from Grappone's. Question - Did the salesperson at Werners have poofy blond hair? As far as dealers transferring cars - the 07 Touring that I had was purchased at Lunenburg Mazda and when I told them I needed a black one they went out of their way to find one and actually had it transported from NY. When I went to Tulley's in Nashua, I asked if they could obtain the True Red from IRA and they said it would tack on another $500.00 to do it - KMA! I gave Tulleys' a shot on my last 2 Mazda's and they couldn't(wouldn't) compete with IRA or Lunenburg Mazda - their loss - I'm still having them do my service and warranty work - Ha! |

After initial email inquiry, quoted the following: 2008 White Mazda 3s touring with moonroof/6 cd package and Sirius Telling me invoice is 20207. Sell for 19207 plus fees ($1000 rebate) or with no rebate at 20,207 with financing 0.0 or 3.9% 2009 White Mazda 3s touring with moonroof/6 cd package (no Sirius) Quoting me at 19384 (no mention of adding on extra fees or not being able to use financing). I would prefer the 08 because it is closer to me; however, can anyone give me opinions on how low I should counter for this 2008 model when I can get the 2009 for essentially the same price? Is there really a 2000-3000 dealer incentive? Thanks!

| Have 06 touring edition that did not come with heated seats however there was a fuse in the position for heated seats and the harness under the seat looks identical to one in which the seats are heated. Dealer claims that they are different and the element is not in the seat but what does is cost to build two different seats one with and one without? They won't show me the schematic for the electrical, does anyone know where to find it or if they are the same seat? | |
My s just bought a 2009 blue 3i touring value 4 dr sedan (automatic), They gave him a decent trade-in price ($3k) on the 10-11 yr old toyota minivan. He chose to purchase the 4 yr warantee for road hazard because there is a lot of constructin going on where he lives and he doesnt want to have to pay for the expensive new tires/rims (this was his one splurge). He paid an out the door price (tax, tag, etc) of $13,859. And yes this is a 2009, not a 2008. I thought he did pretty well, agreed??

Replying to: pepperleaf (Nov 28, 2008 1:33 am) He got that deal on the '09 in St. Petersburg, Fl. I also spotted an ad here in our Atlanta paper for a 2008 Mazda 3i touring 4 dr advertised at $5000 off the MSRP ($2500 cash back and another $2500 dealer match)- putting the car at around $12,100 (I dont have it in front of me so dont have the exact price at the moment-- it was in yesterdays paper).
