Hello, I was just starting my new car search, and the Mazda3 was at the top of my list. So, I sent out some email quote requests for a 3i Touring, manual transmission. The first quotes I received were around invoice to a couple hundred dollars less ($16994+TTL to $17292+TTL). Then, the dealer at 16994 dropped his price to 16300, plus $500 in free gas. I was just starting my search, and haven't even looked at any other cars (was going to at least try to drive a Civic), but this seems too good to pass up. I'm ready to go make the deal without looking at anything else. Does anyone think I could possibly do better than this deal on a Mazda3 or any other make that is comparable? BTW, my last two cars have been Mazdas (1991 MX-6, 2001 Protege), so I have been a Mazda fan for a while, which also makes this easier for me. Thanks.

All, Would like to get your thoughts on the following quote: 2009 Mazda 3- iTouring Value -Blue -Auto -Cargo net -Wheel locks -CD/Moonroof (didn't ask for this, but "its all they have") $20,645 retail price $18,072 dealer "sale price" ($2,000) rebate (national, I believe) $16,072 car "sale price" $1,103.52 VA tax/tags/fees ----------------------------------- $17,175.52 "out the door" |

Replying to: ee74 (Jun 23, 2009 4:37 pm) I totally agree. I've had my 2003 Mazda Protege since I bought it brand new... and it still drives trouble free.... 142,000 miles and still going strong. I'm looking to pass it along to my daughter so that I can get the new 2010. I'm leaning towards the Hatchback this time... but the i Touring will get you better gas mileage. Good luck... keep us posted.

Replying to: orc4hire (Jun 24, 2009 7:19 pm) I paid $16,300 for my Mazda3i-Touring, manual transmission, with no other options or dealer add-ons, plus I get $500 in free gas. My out the door total including TTL was $17538 (6.25% sales tax). Financed part of it with the 2.9% financing, too, which is also a good deal. It drives very nice. Seems much more quiet and smooth than my old Protege ever was. But, it has been 8 years since it was new, so maybe I just don't remember... |
