Thanks, it's a pretty decent car, especially for the money. That said, it's no BMW, and while I intend to drive the Mazda3 for a couple of years before I pass it off to my two kids (who'll be getting their licenses next year, and then again in 2012), I'm already counting the days before I can justify getting back into a RWD BMW with a slick shifting stick.
 
FWIW, I bought my Mazda3 i Touring Value Edition 5-Speed (which had an MSRP of $17,843 and an Invoice of $16,752) for the "Invoice" price back in November. I'm thinking that since the Automatic version of my car has an MSRP of $18,665 and an Invoice of $17,529, getting one for under $16,000 is going to be a bit difficult to come up with.
 
Best regards,
Shipo

Yes it includes the $1K cash back as a discount if that's what you mean.
 
Sales tax in Mass is 5% on top of the net price.

Car we bought is the same as yours except with an Auto. Actually this car is for my daughter who is just getting her license - lucky girl. We looked at Corollas and Jettas. Could have gotten a Corolla S for the same price. She thought the Mazda3 was more BMW-like. Smart girl. I showed her the design of the 2010 Mazda3. Her comment on the front-end was that she would have been laughed out of high school
 
I would of had them at $15,300 if the owner loyalty was available. Some amazing deals on cars for President's day.
 
BTW - had a great ED experience last August.

your call, I paid:
 
2009 i touring value, moonroof, 6cd, alloy wheels & locks, all weather mats, auto 17.6k after $500 rebate & got 1.9% finance.
 
Rebates are better now as you can see.
 
Advice: Get 3-4 quotes from diff. dealers and take the best (obviously)
 
I have heard the 09's are selling for even less than I paid now. SHOP AROUND.
 
There is an advantage though to buying an 08 so late as far as mileage goes when you trade in. Your deal sounds pretty good .
 
Good luck, my daughter LOVES the car...................Copper red!

Well I did $200 better than that on an 09 without sunroof.
 
Problem with the 08s is that they don't have the same MFG incentives working for them as the 09s. And on top of that the 10 models are due to hit US dealers in 6 weeks. So now the 08 is 2 years old. Plenty of 09 inventory out there right now.
 
I would push on an 09 model at say $16,500.

Just bought an 09 Hatch by hokiehatch

2009 Touring with a manual transmission. Crystal White Pearl exterior, Sand interior. It had some extras including the auto dim mirror with compass, moonroof and 6cd changer, pearl paint, rear bumper step plate, cargo net, cargo tray, and wheel locks.
 
I paid $17,300 including destination and dealer processing fee. I think I did well enough given that the invoice for the car was around $19,800. I was able to use the $1500 dealer incentive for cash purchases. It seems like there is a pretty significant glut of the 2009 3s with the 2010s coming available soon, which may have helped to push prices down.

I've heard the 2010 Mazda3 is supposed to be on dealer lots by March, but I have yet to see pricing. Does anyone know what the pricing will be?

I have received a quote from a dealer on a 2009 Mazda 3 i touring value with auto transmission for $17,300. This model does not have anything extra so no moonroof or 6 CD changer. The sticker price on the car was 18,755. Do you guys think this is a fair price? Thanks for your help.

Keep pushing, Final deal should be $2500 - $3000 off MSRP (from what I've read online in the forums) Just purchased: 09 i touring, auto, moonroof, 6cd. all weather mats & wheel locks.
 
MSRP $20k
Inv $ 18.4k
Final Price was $17.7k (including the $500 rebate) Only $2300 off MSRP, wish I would have checked the forums BEFORE I purchased.
 
also 1,9% 60 months. I think the rebates are now $1000 - $1500 Check) and the interest rate is 0% for 60 months.
 
Your deal (my opinion) should be closer to.....
$15,800 - $16,300. Don't be afraid to push, they are hurting (all dealers) plus the 2010's are almost out. Also get quotes from 3-4 mazda dealers, let them know you are, then you'll really see the prices drop.
 
I'm in Delco PA. GOOD LUCK! We LOVE the car! Copper red........awesome!
