I contacted about 8 dealerships via email, through edmunds. I got quotes from each of them, then contacted the two best ones. I made it clear I was shopping between the two, and wanted the very best Out the Door price they could give me.
 
Be sure to get the Out the Door price, base price for car can be augmented too many ways to list.
 
I had gone to another dealer and they made it clear they would match or beat any other offers I had gotten. I took the best OTD quote from the other dealers. That was my starting point in the negotiation with this dealer. It so happened that they made a mistake and gave me a quote in response that was amazing... what I paid in the end. They reversed and said they couldn't do that, I got mad and made noise. Talked to the owner of the dealership and he made it work so that I could pay what they gave me the great quote for.
 
All in, it took about 2 weeks from start to finish, although I have been at it since early March, you could do it in 2 weeks I suppose.
 
Also be sure to get the Preferred Buyer's Card, I mentioned it in earlier posts.
 
Good luck herbench and everyone else. By the way, been driving my car all over and I LOVE it

Thank you very much for the tip!
 
I got OTD quotes from 2 dealerships here in LV... 1 gave me a really low quote for 2010 GT HB A...lower than the 2009. So i told the other dealership that and he told me that they actually own all Mazda dealerships in LV...and the quote that was given to me was for another car. Not for the car I wanted. He said that sometimes, some salesman would quote you on another model car to get you in the lot. How unfortunate is that?! I'm giving the "honest" guy the benefit of the doubt but I also started asking quotes around SoCal area, so we'll see what happens. We will be going to SD next weekend and one of the cars that I saw is in National City. Hopefully they will be honest with me.
 
Thanks again for your help!
 
Hopefully by next week, I'll be Zoom Zooming like you

Looking for 2009 i Touring Manual by pbh20

I'm trying to find a 2009 i touring manual sedan, but I can't find any close to where I live. Do you guys know if I can find one at another dealer and have them ship it to my local dealer? Would I go through my local dealer or would I have to talk to the other dealer to buy the car?
Thanks.

Good luck finding one. Last I heard there were like 9 left on the entire east coast. And that was a couple weeks ago. You can try searching dealer inventory on the Mazda website but I doubt you'll find one at this point in time.
 
If you're looking at getting an 09 you really just have to look at inventory now. If there's a few in your area you could probably wait until the 1st to see if there's any new specials. But if inventory is like 1-2 cars you might not have the benefit of time.

Use the 'Search Inventory' link on Mazda's website, which will search up to 250 miles from the ZIP Code entered, then filter it down to "2009 MZ3 i Touring Value 4-door Manual". There are 16 within 250 miles of my Atlanta ZIP.
 
You will likely get the best deal from the dealer who has the vehicle. If you involve your local dealer, it only makes sense that they'll want to make a profit for playing 'middle-man'.

I got two quotes from dealers on the Western side, Castle Mazda in Silver Spring and Congressional Mazda in Rockville. They both quoted me at 18200 plus or minus $50.
 
I got my deal from Preston Mazda on the Eastern Shore, in Preson MD.
 
Good luck!
 
Still zooooming...
