2010mazda3 sport HB pricing by vettech
Jul 03, 2009 (7:00 pm)

I am working with a dealer in NC. Got a quote for $19836 OTD for a 2010 Mazda3 manual sport HB. But I am seeing that some folks are getting better pricing. I can't tell whether we comparing oranges to apples. Any experiences out there with the manual sport HB? any ideas on moving that price down? Any experiences in VA (close enough for me to work with those dealers as well) This was a blast to drive, but my alternative is the honda fit for $3700 less.

I would not buy this car without getting at least $3,000 off the sticker price at a minimum. $4,000 off would be an excellent deal. I bought my 2009 3i manual transmission back in March for $13,680 plus tax,tags,title. The sticker price was $17,615 which included the $670 shipping. The invoice was around $900 less than the sticker price as I remember. You won't get a deal like that on the 2010's.

Good Luck trying to get $3 K never mind $4K off the sticker price???? This car is the hottest for Mazda and is blowing away the competetion in this category. Aside from the "smiley" face grill, the reviews have been stellar. I got a 08.5 in April - new for $16.9k mz 3 s Touring with automatic - 4 dr sedan.That was $3k off the sticker with rebates, etc.

Actually, the '09 MZ3 models (what few are left) are selling for $3500 or more below sticker! According to Edmunds TMV, a 2009 Mazda3 i Touring Value 4-door w/ AT has an MSRP of $18,665 and the TMV is $15,063 (including a $2000 rebate). That's 3,602 off sticker price...a steal if you can find one!
 
The redesigned 2010 model is another story. A 2010 MZ3 i Touring w/ AT has a TMV of only $924 off MSRP.

2010 M3 I Touring by sandman_6472

Friend brought his new car over last night. Titanium color M3 I Touring with auto tranny, bluetooth & I Pod connector and he said he paid OTD $18,500. Nice car actually and when the wife is ready to turn in her '05 M3 S model, will have her look at the 2010 S model again. Love the new alloys and she likes that little extra boost from the 2.5 engine. Her's is a 2.3 now and when she needs it, she knows the power is there. Real sporty ride so I can imagine how much better the 2010 will be.

FYI Mazda3 sport HB pricing in NC by vettech

I just signed a contract for 2010 3HB sport in North Carolina. Here's the breakdown:
 
Price 18,064.31 (Edmunds Invoice price is 18,854)
NC tax/title/NCSI: 610.53
Dealer Prep (Iknow!) 489.00
Total Out the Door 19163.84
This took 2 weeks of negotiating and alot of online quote from area dealers. To my knowledge there is no current dealer incentive, so I feel OK. What do you guys think?

NC has a 3 % highway use tax (in lieu of a sales tax), and I am transferring the tags from my prior vehicle. Interestingly (for what it is worth), the sales guy told me he gets a flat fee of $120 for every new car he sells, so all he did was carry my requests back and forth. (I assume he get a bonus if he gets closer to MSRP, but that was not going to happen.)

Mazda 3 Owners Pay Insurance Premium in Ontario by wildthing

Heads up to Ontario Mazda 3 owners....Got my insurance renewal yesterday and noticed my premiums had gone up over $200. I own a 2005 Mazda 3 GT Sedan
 
I contacted my insurer and they told me that the increase is sanctioned by the Ontario Insurance Bureau based on the fact that there are a large number of Mazda 3's in the province, it being a popular car, and that as a result in the large number of accidents involving this car model and the high cost of repairing them, Mazda 3 owners will be paying a premium to insure their cars in Ontario on their next renewal.
 
I was really surprised by this...I'm accident claims free but because I own a popular car and that car is expensive to repair accident damage, I'm being "punished" by my insurer ???..
 
Potential buyers of Mazda 3's in Ontario might want to factor this into their purchase of this car model...
 
Any Mazda 3 owners in Ontario hear anything about this ??...

I know you crazy Canucks have your own way of doing things!
 
But in the U.S., any car that experiences a higher-than-average claim rate and costs more to repair than competing/similar models, the car becomes more costly to insure.
