Replying to: mazda3man (Feb 15, 2009 12:33 pm) I agree with Tmorrow's response. You should be able to get at least another $1,500 off. The 2010's come out in about 6 weeks, and they will be desperate to get rid of 09's. You have the upper hand here - take advantage of it.

Replying to: tmorr42 (Feb 15, 2009 2:00 pm) Thanks for the responses. I live in New York so my prices might be a little higher but I will definitely try going to other dealers for a better price.

#3916 of 4328 08 or 09 Mazda 3 GT w/MT? by mantranfan Feb 17, 2009 (1:03 pm)
Finally got my husband behind the wheel of the Grand Touring and as I expected he found it head and shoulders above the Civic EX we'd driven last summer. Since the planets seem to be aligning (even the stimulus package is pushing us in this direction), we're about to buy our very first brand new car.   So far, we know we can buy a new '08 GT MT with the moonroof/audio pack for $20,008 (out the door price), or an '09 for $21,362. We usually drive our cars forever (currently have '93 and '96) so the difference seems slight to us, but maybe there were some improvements I don't know about for '09 (the car we drove was the '08)? Do those deals seem reasonable? We don't plan to finance through the dealer.

#3917 of 4328 2009 i Touring value LOVE IT by mellowfusion Feb 17, 2009 (4:06 pm)
I emailed 6 dealerships and drove them nuts as some refused to push their prices back, lose money, and get my business. Eventually spoke on the phone with a dealer in Oakland, CA (I am in San Francisco) and I highly recommend Simon Tse!   2009 i Touring Value, 4 dr, light silver, automatic 5-speed, standard options. 2009 is more expensive than 2008 because they added fog lights, alloy wheels (wow!), leather covered steering wheel, etc.   $1000 cash back, 0% for 36 months.   Invoice price without financing is $14,490, with financing is $15966   Not a big difference there, so financing of course! Total plus fees and tax was $16483 out the door!   Very happy! Replies to this message: mazda3hc (Feb 21, 2009 6:49 pm)
#3918 of 4328 2010 Mazda3 is ugly by mellowfusion Feb 17, 2009 (4:08 pm)
I agree with a previous post that the enormous front grill for the new 2010 models are extremely unappealing.   2009 is the final line of 2.0L cars! Terrible! All cars in 2010 line regardless of 4 dr or 5 dr are all going to be 2.3L! Replies to this message: manybmws (Feb 18, 2009 2:08 pm)

Replying to: mantranfan (Feb 17, 2009 1:03 pm) I would look to negotiate lower. Look for around $19,000-19,500 for a 2009 Grand Touring manual with moonroof and audio package (prior to delivery and dealer processing fees) if you are buying with cash or outside financing. If you are planning to use Mazda's financing promotion, I would look to add about $500 to that range (the dealer incentive is $500 lower for financing vs. a cash purchase). So all-in-all, look for a price of $1500 to $2000 off invoice (inclusive of delivery and dealer processing fees).   You may be able to do better with some negotiating and if you have another dealer(s) to pit the one you mentioned against.

Replying to: hokiehatch (Feb 17, 2009 6:31 pm) Thanks for the advice about negotiating. I expect this dealer to come down some (this was the first contact), but I do plan to contact 3 or 4 dealers.   Do you have any opinions about the '08 vs. '09?

Replying to: mantranfan (Feb 17, 2009 6:43 pm) I would think that you could drive a harder bargain on a 2008 vs. a 2009. However, I would look into the differences between the 2008 and 2009 to see if the newer model may have more improvements that are important to you. Also, the '08 may have significantly higher test drive miles, but that is just speculation from my perspective.
