Halocline, I'm from the Worcester area, and looking to purchase almost the exact mazda3 you did (except in sedan form without leather). If you don't mind me asking, how much was it, and how much of a discount did you get via the S-plan (i'm not eligible). Would you go back to Sentry West for another purchase? And lastly, did they have a lot of 3's on the lot, or did it seem like they were selling like hotcakes? thanks a ton.

As others have commented, s-plan is about the same price you can negotiate, maybe a little less(except you don't have to waste time negotiating).
 
I would go back to Sentry -- I found the buying experience to be more professional than other Boston area dealers (none of the old fashioned, hard sell, tooth pulling, let-me-talk-to-my-manager, car buying experience).
 
They have quite a few on the lot, and if you're flexible and looking for a minimal spec they probably have what you want (most dealers seem to have many sparse spec vehicles on hand). I used them because they were the only local dealer with the spec I wanted according to the inventory search on mazdausa.com, and emailed them to check they had it on the lot.
 
Good luck!

Bought it over the Internet for less after spending 4 hours at a dealer for a price about 1000 higher after 2 hours negotiation .I got the price I wanted more or less, considering the car is sells itself: starlight green mica.I looked at HOndas. Toyotas.Ford Focus thsicar has so much more and the looks.Warranty is best too.

What is the s-plan? Sorry about naivity. I'm interesting in a black Mazda 3 hatchback 5-speed without options but any will not bother except the NAV system. There are a few around this area of seacoast NH, what is a reasonable price to pay?

Can I still negotiate? by mz3cat

I'm in the process of factory ordering a lava orange Mazda 3 hatchback. Dealer said 6-8 weeks. In the mean time, they are looking for one from another dealer, I assume because they would rather not have to order one. I've signed papers agreeing to the factory order and have given them a deposit.
 
So if they call me up and tell me they found my car at another dealership, but they will have to drive it over (probably over 100 miles or so), would I be able to ask for a lower price than I agreed on? I mean, I only agreed to the factory order. How much would you think is fair to ask? I'm paying MSRP (I know...I'm a first time car buyer and didn't do enough homework...my fault).
 
thanks for any info.

...to have it brought to the dealership on a flatbed, or no deal...if they don't want to do that, I wouldn't take the car.

if your factory order has not been accepted by mazda already, you won't be getting one. The last allocation, which ran on 5/14 was the last order cycle for the 2004's.
 
also, FYI, factory order times on the MZ3 are in the 4 month range not 6-8 weeks like a US built mazda.
