Replying to: vovani (Feb 23, 2009 3:55 pm) "looks like not too many folks here opt for hatch, most prefer sedan.. why? "   my personal reason: I don't really like the looks of the HB. I know they are practically the same, but when I see a HB it just looks so long, like a limo. In my opinion. I would prefer the 2.3 engine but no dealers seem to carry the S model in sedan. Not sure why. But I also haven't driven a 2.3, so maybe it's not a big difference.

Replying to: frontierchick (Feb 23, 2009 8:39 am) Well my dealer fee was $230 + $80 registration for my recent buy - the same car as yours   So you are paying $15,400 compared to my $15,800 when you add in your incremental costs over my deal to get apples to apples. BTW I did get 0% for 36 months and 90 day deferred payments. So even if you don't need the car your not paying for it for a while.   I think the economic conditions are a little tougher in FL than the Boston area at this point so my theory is that your local dealers are discounting a bit more.   mb

Replying to: mazda3hc (Feb 23, 2009 12:41 pm) The one along the Route 22 which also sold Toyota cars.   Good luck! But it seems that they do not have a lot of Mazda 3 now (only several red ones left). Some people do not like red cars, like me.   I think you can get similar deals from others if you go there and really push the price.

1) I LOVE the hatchback, but don't want to spend 17k+ OTD for it. I had the option (and might still do) to get a slightly older S Sport HB for under 13K (actually 3 of them). I'm still considering it.   2) I went with my CU which is giving me 3.99% although, I told them I'm willing to sit and listen to their financing.. If they give me 0% too for the same price, I'll take it.   Now this is the crappy part.. they guy who was buying my car flaked on me this evening to come get it. So unless he buys it tomorrow, I'm SOL, unless the dealer gives me what I want for it (HAHA god luck to me.) At least I have the car price settled on.
#3956 of 4328 Price for a 2009 3 s Grand Touring w/moon roof and bose sound package by nazrafel Feb 23, 2009 (7:52 pm)
Hi All,   After some bargaining I've managed to get a dealer to quote me $19,600 on the 09 s Grand Touring w/ moon roof and bose sound (4 door). This includes the $1,500 dealer cash and a couple other discounts. No, he hasn't given me a fee schedule (where I am sure he will try to make up the profit margin.) I'm in CA so I figure about 10% in taxes, $214 in registration and the $55 doc fee. I just wanted to check if this was basically a good starting price given that the MSRP on the car is $23,550.   I appreciate your help! Thanks!

Replying to: nazrafel (Feb 23, 2009 7:52 pm) AT or MT? The lowest quote we've gotten for the same with MT is $19660 here on the east coast. The tax, etc. brought it up to $21,443. We weren't so happy with that at the time (it was for a car they had in stock, so we thought they could have come down more.) At another dealer, the salesperson said we could get out the door for $21362, but not in writing and the sales manager hasn't approved that quote yet.   Thoughts, anyone? It seems the GT's are not in very good supply (especially manuals). Replies to this message: nazrafel (Feb 24, 2009 8:07 am) mantranfan (Feb 25, 2009 6:25 pm)

Replying to: vovani (Feb 23, 2009 3:55 pm) Hatchbacks just aren't that popular in the U.S. Don't know why. This may change with Gas prices over time, once people find that good one's are almost half pickup truck.   The next door neighbor got one of the few Mazda6 sedans that are a hatchback. Can't tell by looking at it but when I saw him hauling a washing machine in the box with the hatch up that was pretty cool.   Scion Tc hatch coupe seems to be the same way.   It seems that without considering financing, many dealers are discounting the $18000+ 09 M3's almost $4500.   Good luck --jjf   i think your deal and mine are both good..    i got 2009 Mazda3 S Touring hatchback, automatic for $18K OTD; this includes $1K rebate, ttl, and 0% for 36 months.    looks like not too many folks here opt for hatch, most prefer sedan.. why?        Replies to this message:

Replying to: mantranfan (Feb 24, 2009 7:10 am) The quote was for AT. You're right about the GTs being in short supply in some areas. There are a decent number of them at the Mazda dealerships in the LA area (where I got the quote), but I also called Las Vegas to see if I could score a big deal there (given that the economy in Vegas is WAY worse than LA right now) and they don't have an '09 GT in the ENTIRE STATE, AT or MT. They have 1 or 2 left over 2008.5 GTs, but that's it.   Looks like major dealers in the LA area are where I'm going to focus. I don't have to buy now so I figure I'd hold off until the '10s hit the lots and the dealers REALLY want to move inventory. I'd like to get OTD around $21k for the GT '09.   Suggestions? Think this would work/is possible? Replies to this message: mantranfan (Feb 25, 2009 6:25 pm)

I have the chance to get a 07 s Hatchback for under $13500.. its in great shape, and a savings of 3K over a new one. I still have a yr warranty (on age and mileage) and can easily buy an extended from my credit union. no accidents, non smoker.   thoughts?

Replying to: flyoversea (Feb 23, 2009 5:54 pm) Do you mean Crystal Automall in Greenbrook, NJ? That's a really good OTD price, did you get the special financing with it as well? Thanks. Replies to this message: flyoversea (Feb 24, 2009 10:51 am)
