Replying to: tsixr1 (Feb 24, 2009 10:43 am) Yes for your first question.   I did not get any financing since I focus on the total price. I will pay off.   I computed carefully, a 0apr finance is not very attractive since the APR of depositing money is not high in these days. Asking for 0 apr will make the price higher (about $900).   Keep pushing you may get a better price than me.
#3963 of 4328 Buying Mazda 3 fleet? by srb427 Feb 24, 2009 (7:23 pm)
Has anyone in NY/NJ area bought a Mazda at fleet price? Having trouble getting name of "Fleet Manager" at dealership, wondering if there's a more direct route than calling dealership and asking for him, afraid I'm not talking to "real" Fleet Manager there. Their "Fleet" website is a bit confusing as to who "qualifies" to buy fleet cars. Appreciate any help! SRB427 Replies to this message: jfritsch (Feb 25, 2009 1:47 am)

Replying to: srb427 (Feb 24, 2009 7:23 pm) Forget about the fleet manager or sales mgr in particular. Fleet mgrs specialize in selling cars to businesses (who are spending other people's corporate money), and not especially concerned on price.   Get 10 bids last week of the month via email from mazda's website (seems to have very good summary of inventory) within a 150 mile radius. Tell them you are getting 10 bids. Work with 2 or 3 finalists over cell phone, working down as much as possible. Finalize with mgr over cell.   Good luck --jjf   Has anyone in NY/NJ area bought a Mazda at fleet price?

Replying to: Smittypowa (Feb 23, 2009 12:42 pm) Bill Miller at Ferman on Florida and also Glen at Mazda Wesley Chapel(they were higher, but will come down~didn't want to push til end of the month). Was also told they would not want to loose the deal over a few hundred...may be more room. Again this is just automatic trans....no other upgrades.

Replying to: srekalog (Feb 24, 2009 10:39 pm) i'd say you could/should do better by at least $500 or more.   compare my $18K OTD for brand new (60 miles) 09 Touring HB with AT but no extras that come with GT (plus 0% for 36 months Mazda/Chase financing). i had to negotiate a bit via email insisting that my budget = $18K and i can't go over it.. hope we are not comparing apples to oranges here. good luck!

Replying to: vovani (Feb 25, 2009 2:46 pm) Thanks for the feedback. I kind of concluded the same thing over the past day and am now trying to find an 09 GT HB in a similar price range (maybe a bit more).

Replying to: nazrafel (Feb 24, 2009 8:07 am) We have only gotten quotes (just) under $20k OTD for 2008.5 GT's (manuals). The 2009's are all in the range of $21.5k. (We're seriously considering the 2008.5's. It's basically the same car.)
#3970 of 4328 Re: [kle1] by mazdazed Feb 25, 2009 (8:36 pm)
Replying to: kle1 (Feb 22, 2009 9:18 pm) kle1,   The first dealers I went to were in NJ and they were basically quoting me msrp minus rebate or $1,000 off msrp. Not a good deal at all in todays market. I originally wanted a 2.3 manual in the sedan with no moonroof. Try to find one! When I saw how much better the rear headroom was in the 5 door and how much more practical it is I made the switch. The trunk opening in the sedan is small. Also, the one I bought with the $18,995 msrp was built before the $300 price increase. Most S Sport 5 doors on the lots were stickered at $19,295. Through my employer I was able to qualify for the Ford "X", Mazda "S" plan which is invoice minus $400 plus any rebates being offered at the time. I also did not use Mazda's financing which added another $500 to the rebate making it $1,500 not $1,000. So in the end it was $3,000 off sticker. My experience with John Kennedy Mazda in PA was excellent and I would recommend them. I find the "BOZO THE CAR GRILL" on the 2010 absurd. Good Luck!

#3971 of 4328 bought my car by Smittypowa Feb 26, 2009 (10:00 pm)
Well I don't have a new 2009 car, but I just bought an 07 MAzda3 s 5dr in Aurora Blue Mica. The owner babied this car and it just passed 20K with over 1 yr left in warranty. Paid 13K for it.   Looking at all the paperwork, the previous owner bought every single warranty available. He got a GM Smart Care plan for 48 months, an extended warranty via CNA for 72K miles, the tire warranty, and the theft etching/stickers.   I've got to call and find out if that extended warranty is transferrable and definitely getting the Smart Care extended. I usually like to do my own with Mobil 1, but I usually spend $30 doing it on my own so even if I get some credit from the program, paying under $30 to upgrade to synth is worth it.   Looking forward to posting with everyone else here... MAN THIS CAR IS SWEET!!!
