FYI Mazda3 sport HB pricing in NC by vettech
Jul 09, 2009 (10:02 am)

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?

That's an excellent deal.. even with the dealer prep.
 
Only $610 TTL ? Wow.

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.

Seems reasonable.
 
Recent related news story on the high insurance costs involved in repairing small cars (e.g. Hyndai Accent) reported that during IIHS testing it was found that significant damage was experienced in crashes by supposedly "inexpensive" cars. Factoring insurance/repair charges into the cost of owning such vehicles, makes them no longer such a bargain.

A Good Price? by gosundevils

Alright everyone, like the title says, is this a good price? BTW I have been looking since mid June.
 
2010 s GT sedan with moon roof and tech packages; which I do want for: $ 23,428.00
plus TTL and tint.
 
I live in Arizona and they kill us with TTL. Tax is $ 1,827 Lic. is $ 361.00 tint is $ 299.00
The price is $ 2,000 under MSRP but only about $ 450.00 under invoice. And there are no incentives right now for 2010.

There aren't any Cash Incentives, but they are offering 60-month 3.9%APR, for 'qualified' buyers.
 
It seems like a solid deal at $23,400. Edmunds TMV was about $450 higher and CarsDirect was $700 higher, so you're well under both...a good thing!
 
Arizona has the freakiest, most horrible taxes...I used to work for a real estate developer and homebuilder who built in AZ (base in Georgia, but expanded to AZ and NM when the market was on fire)....they basically charge sales tax on a freakin' house!

Sounds like a good price. Which area is the dealer. I am in Orange county and only got one quote for a 3i Touring but it was 18200 before TTL so you beat mine by 400. I keep hoping they have another prefered buyer card starting soon.
