Replying to: ogurek (Dec 16, 2008 11:33 am) and try and negotiate more. i got a quote for 17500 w/o destination on the 09 model from wayne mazda. Open road have called me and try to push me to buy a 08 as well, when i was inquiring 09 model, and they sent me a quote for sedan instead of HB. So i'm getting my quote done again.

Helping a friend out with this, and wanted to know if this was a reasonable offer from the dealer. No rush to buy, but am curious... In Cleveland Area (Cuyahoga County)... 2009 Mazda3 s Grand Touring Automatic Bose/Roof Package Satellite Radio MSRP: 24,280 Dealer offered right off the bat S-Plan pricing. After incentives were at 21,412...after TTL were at 23,412. Seemed pretty aggressive but I guess my two questions are: Is this a good deal and is there any room left to negotiate? It included a $1000 cash incentive on the price, but I'm thinking given the new Mazda3 coming out in a couple of months, that that incentive is bound to get better. Thoughts? Thanks!

Replying to: 28firefighter (Dec 16, 2008 2:30 pm) but im betting that in a few months as the 2010 models come around, dealers will be a lot more motivated to get the 2009s out the door of course, then there is a chance that your configuration/color may not be available if possible find out when the 1000 incentive expires if you are not in a rush, id consider waiting a bit more or make it clear to the dealer that they need to motivate you to buy now rather than later and if they want to make their sales numbers for the month, they might be able to go down even more bottom line, cant hurt to ask, worst case they say no and are firm and you weigh your options |

Replying to: jatec (Dec 16, 2008 1:23 pm) my goal is to set the final price via email, since im not good at negotiating in person i emailed wayne mazda for a quote and they gave me 17200 car w/destination this is basically the same as open road, so i think ill get them to beat each other is there any particular reason why you want an 09 and not an 08? the msrp is higher for 09 and there are less incentives

Replying to: ogurek (Dec 16, 2008 5:00 pm) Consider all things right now, i'm getting about 500 difference between 09 and 08, considering all incentives. Alot of dealers are out of 08 gt models as well. But 500 difference is what i'm getting in my research. and the value lost from having an 08 and 09 is prabably more than 500 down 5 years...i think

Replying to: jatec (Dec 16, 2008 6:30 pm) i know from my last car buying experience im not really good at those high-pressure must-talk-the-talk on-the-spot moments. what do you mean 'really talk it down in person'? it seems they are already pretty low so i dont know how low can i reasonably ask. i cant even say i want to pay invoice since they are already below invoice  yes, the msrp went up, 500$ sounds about right. but i didnt realize there were any incentives on the 09 models, while there seems to be a 2000$ on the 08s. as for value, im guessing since they are introducing the 2010s so early, there'll be much less 09s than 08s as used cars. and it depends how quickly youre planning to resell after buying, since depreciation is not linear. anyways... i told wayne mazda to beat the open road mazda 19000 OTD. they replied that they only have one car like that and it has the moonroof package, and 19350 OTD is as low as theyll go. so now i guess i can check back in with open road

Replying to: ogurek (Dec 16, 2008 6:54 pm) there weren't any incentives on 09, but the incentives vary from dealer, since wayne mazda didn't say anything about the $2000, and still came in with a better price.. if you ask me.. since moonroof package is roughly 1k, and you're getting it for 350.. and well, if 500 is the difference then i'll take the 09, but if any more i'd consider the 08, but then there are just a lack of GTs for 08 ATM, so i just have to keep looking. I don't really want to drive 50 miles to buy a car. Are you paying cash or financing? just wanted to know so i have a better idea on their prices. But thx for the heads up, now i have a better idea atleast for these two dealers.

Replying to: dailydriver2 (Dec 16, 2008 9:54 am) The single exception is a quote from Pugi in Downer's Grove, IL for $16100 OTD (IN taxes figured in). They were an outlier that was $600 below everyone else but their responses have been slow, ignored previous information and I'm getting multiple people emailing me. I take all those as bad signs and given the distance from us, not worth the risk. Tomorrow we're buying one from Raisor Ford/Mazda for $16700 OTD. I'll throw up the real numbers when we're done with it all.

Replying to: luckyforever1 (Dec 17, 2008 8:06 pm) same thing when you go to edmunds edmunds says invoice w/destination is $16,690, so your $15,400 is 1300 below invoice, so that sounds decent i agree that its a bad sign if youre getting multiple contacts, since that means they may not honor your quote good luck with the purchase!
