Happy New years Day to all. My search for a Mazda3 came to an end today, but not as planned. Fully prepared today to go to the dealer and buy the car I test drove on 12/30, I checked Autotrader one last time last night. To my surprise, I found an 07 Grandtouring auto with every feature possible, I think, even nav, for $12,800 with 22,000 miles. Nada, Edmunds, and Kelly had the price at 17-18 private party in good condition. I thought there must be a catch. I called the owner this morning, specifically asking about the price, and he said it was correct. I was there about 45 minutes later. Wow, what a beautiful black, and it hadn't been detailed yet. The owner was friendly and answered all my questions. I took it for a test drive by myself for 20 minutes. It was the best car I had ever driven! I made up my mind I was going to buy it, although I usually don;t do things of this magnitude on the spur of the moment. When I returned and said I was interested in the car, the owner said the price was a mistake, that someone had put the low wholesale price on the add, but since I had asked about it and had come there under that impression, he would honor that price. Since it came from Virginia on a BNW trade, and I'm in PA, he didn't have the title, plus it needs PA inspection, which I agreed to pay for. The add said it was a 9.5 out of 10, and it was not an exaggeration. I put down a deposit and now am just waiting, maybe a week, to pick it up. When I test drove that car, I had to watch myself, as it was so easy to go over the speed limit. Thanks to all who recently posted, and to those of you who bought an 09, congratulations. To buy a car like this now would cost around $24,000, so I'm thrilled with what I got.

I am a little confused by your post. Is this a private seller, a dealership or a used car lot? Did you mean a "BMW" trade? (I am unfamiliar with a "BNW trade"). Do NOT buy ANY car if you have not done an autofax title check on it. It could be a salvage car rebuilt, or had some other serious damage (ie bent frame, etc) or funky title issue. If the price sounds too good to be true (even if they aer honoring it) and you dont' have the title to ck, be careful. If I were you I'd get the VIN number and run the title check ASAP.

Sorry. Yes , a BMW trade. Car fax is clean.This is a dealership that wholesales/retails high-end cars, which I saw there, like BMW, Mercedes,Porche, Audi, Volvo, all very new and clean. He didn't have the title because there was a payoff and they just got the car in.

'09 Mazda 3 S Touring by salem66

Just did the deal on an '09 manual hatchback S Touring w/ Moonroof/6CD and another $400 in sundry options (cargo stuff, mirror, etc).
 
Considering a 6.75% tax rate, we're out the door for $20,300 and the 0% financing.
 
Not an awesome deal, but good enough, I think. I thought I'd post my experience for the forum!
 
We were torn between this and a GT, but didn't want to spring for the extra $1700 or so.
 
In our hunting, we found the 2.3 manual hatchbacks to be a bit harder to find.

That sounds good to me, I was looking at the Touring Value and I'm at 16,586+ttl. I'm not sure what the differences are except the power package for windows, doorlocks, between the two. Anyone else have any idea?
 
this is at Roger Beasley Mazda. I may be interested in the deal you are getting, what dealership are you at and does that model have power anything or is it one of the fairly basic ones?

I bought a new Mazda3 i Touring about two months ago and if I recall correctly, the "Touring" has the following additional goodies compared to the "Sport":
 
 - 17" Alloy wheels (as opposed to 15" steelies and hubcaps)
 - Low profile performance all-season tires
 - Power windows, locks and mirrors
 - Power sunroof (optional)
 - Fog lights
 - 6-Speaker Audio System (as opposed to a 4-Speaker system)
 - Cruise control with steering wheel mounted controls.
 
I hope this helps.
 
Best regards,
Shipo
