Replying to: vj33 (Mar 30, 2009 7:42 am) No NAV/Sat. Just moonroof/cd/bose package. Not a whole lot left in this configuration.

My wife and I were test driving a 2009 Mazda 3s Touring tonight. This is how my experience went. The salesperson wanted us to do a test drive. The lot were they kept their inventory was about 2 miles from the dealership, the lot was secured. When we got there the salesperson brought with her a little battery jumper. When she got to the car we were supposed to drive she had to jump it, She said the cars sit to long and need to be jumped many times. Then we had to drive to a gas station with the car on empty so she could put in 10 bucks worth of gas. My wife who was driving the car was driving with the autostick in M instead of D (the selectors are so close together) I thought she had it in drive as well.The trans/engine was whinny all the way back to the dealership by the time we got there we could smell burning. The salesperson told us the burning smell was normal that it was from an oil coating on the engine from the manufacturer. I didn't believe this for a minute.    I like the car and after my wifes debacle I drove the car in the proper gear and it drove nicely. The salesperson wanted us to take the car home for the night. We agreed but when we got back out to the lot the battery was low and the car would not start. She was going to jump it again. We left, but agreed to come back tomorrow.    What a bad first experience with Mazda! Did my wife screw up the trans? If we actually bought the car would the trans later act up. What about the battery situation has anyone heard or experienced anything like that at a dealership?    Am I crazy for still wanting to buy this car? Any and all advice would be appreciated...Thanks

Replying to: nik999 (Mar 26, 2009 7:40 am) According to CarsDirect, using a Pittsburgh zip code, the '09 s Sport 5-door with manual transmission and no options- MSRP- $19,295 Invoice- $18,116 Target Price- $17,116   Edmunds confirms the Invoice price of $18,116 and shows $1000 Cash to Customer incentive....so I'd say that $17,116 is the price I'd consider a good deal!   I have an '06 s Sport 5-door manual with no options. My previous car, a Honda Accord, had a moonroof. I kinda wish that I had selected one with the "Moonroof/6-CD Changer package". It's only $765 more (invoice), so that'd make the goal price about $17,881. It's an asset for resale value, too.   You might want to keep your eyes open for an s Touring 5-door, too. The invoice price is only $466 higher than the Sport and it adds Traction Control and 'Dynamic' Stability Control. According to my insurance agent, my premium would be about $150 less per year with those features...
