Good deal?
 
2009 Mazda S hatchback; manual
 
Price: Just under 17k after $1000 rebate, tax (reduced because of trade-in), tags and doc fee.
 
I'm $1000 upside down in a 2007 Civic EX, which is my hesitation at the moment.

2009 i Touring Value, 4 dr, light silver, automatic 5-speed, standard options,
 
how come your invoice can be so low? I was told it is $17564 (before $1500 rebate). And it is auto 4-speed.

For those considering an 08 the I noticed that Quirk Mazda in Boston area had a $19,995 HB for sale for $13,995. They are known for their low ball adds so this could be a demo so beware but pricing seems more inline with what I would pay for a leftover 08. They have an 08 i Sport for $11,900 on their website.

Rule of thumb discounting formula on 09s.
 
Formula:
Invoice - current Mazda discounts - additional dealer discount (up to $500 on top of that).
 
Most leverage is when the 2010s arrive on dealer lots and that will be within a few weeks.

We went to the (mega-Mazda) dealer to try to negotiate for one of the five '08 manual GT's on their lot. First we discovered that two of them were 2008's (not 2008.5's). Then when we tried to get them down to well under 20k for one of the '08.5's, they wouldn't budge. Said they'd rather get the tax write-off on the depreciation. This was yesterday, so maybe they'll call back... Hoping to have better luck with an '09 when the 2010s are out, but if not, we may have to go with a Civic EX-L. There seem to be many more of them out there and dealers willing to make good deals.

That's a great deal mazdazed. Can you tell me which dealer you bought this from? Did you also go through Internet sales?
 
I almost bought the same car in galaxy gray this Sat for 16,338 + TTL (15,888 w/o mazda financing) but missed it by a few minutes as somebody else was also making a deal on the car when I offered to buy it.

09 sedan price by frontierchick

I've been quoted for 16776 out the door for a 09 mazda3 i touring auto sedan metro gray no extras in central Florida. MSRP is 18465 for this car. Is this a good deal? It also includes 0% financing. From reading here it seems the deal should be lower but when I pressed for it, they acted as if I was insane to even suggest it.
 
Do you think prices will drop when the 2010s come out? I asked the salesperson and he said no they would not drop. Should I take this deal or hold out? Thanks!

What dealer was that? I'm in Tampa and will probably be getting a M3 when my car gets sold (anytime now). I've seen a central florida dealer with good specials and want to know if its the same.
 
Prices may not go down, BUT rebates will increase. I was looking at a Nissan Sentra and the 08's in Dec had a $1750 rebate and the 09s had a $1500 one. Now? they are at $2500/$2250, resp.

Are taxes and tag and $1000 in Florida? With 0% this is about a $15000 purchase price. (or less if your credit is less than perfect) For the rest of the country this is about an avg deal, with good credit. If you need a car now go for it. The $15000 should include dealer doc fee. ($50-400)
 
Soliciting 10+ bids last week of the month from dealers within 150 miles from you via mazda website will show the scenery in your area. Sometimes prices can get lower than you think via dealer cell calls the last 2 days.

Yes we practiced the "insane" look between sales. People getting an average deal got the insane look when suggesting a lower price, people getting raped for $4000 more than avg got the insane look when suggesting a lower price.

Good thing you asked... he knows things. (the avg car salesman is out of the business in 6mo.)
 
  
Good luck
