Replying to: crowheart (Apr 27, 2009 3:41 pm)  that is the deal I got back in February 09 (search for my earlier post) on 2009 Mazda3 HB Touring (and of course it is S, they all hatchbacks are S's). the price was something close to 16700 after delivery chg and 1000 rebate (who cares about THAT price, you should always work on your OTD number when negotiating); with TTL the price was equal to the budget I set for myself and for the dealer of 18000. there were no options installed like cd changer or moonroof.. however, i got 0% mazda/chase financing for 36 months - that is the reason my rebate was 1000 instead of 1500. i purchased my car from a high-volume mazda dealer in southwest ohio.. they had a good inventory but only one car in metropolitan gray color that i wanted.. so i took it even though it had 60 miles on it (not a big deal for me)... another point that i learned - you don't always have to wait til the very end of month to get a pretty good deal...

| Be aware of Toms River Auto Maill, Mazda dealer in NJ. They quote you one price and then when you decide the next day to go through with the deal, they tell you there is no way they can sell the car at a lost. Just a heads up. | |

I used the Edmonds "contact dealer" feature to get quotes from multiple dealers. I then used the lowest quote to get my local dealer to match or beat and they beat. I have to say Ferman Mazda in Brandon, Florida has a stellar internet sales department. They gave me the lowest quote right off the bat and even gave me a different quote if I was paying in cash (Mazda was offering $1500 cash back and their low financing rates or $2000 if you were not financing). I found that not all dealers know how to deal with an internet buyer, but Ferman Mazda gets to the bottom line very quickly and answered emails quickly. My closer dealer was Cox Mazda in Bradenton, Florida and they matched the Ferman price and threw in a year's worth of servicing (2 oil changes and tire rotations, basically). I would recommend starting with internet quotes from dealers before even stepping foot in a showroom. Right away you'll be closer to a bottom line price by doing your haggling online and playing the dealers off each other. I am very happy with my car and I was out the door taxes, registration, the whole shebang for $14,911. I wrote a check for the entire amount and bypassed the financing. I didn't have a trade in, I sold my car myself prior to buying a new one. I think Mazda dealers are eager to get the 2009's off their lots because the 2010's are already in. I like the 2009 look better anyway, so it was fine with me. My car came with a net in the trunk and floor mats, it's an automatic.
