Replying to: otoluva (May 12, 2004 11:14 am) 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?

#449 of 3651 Can I still negotiate? by mz3cat May 21, 2004 (11:19 pm)
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.

Not trying to slam you - really -   How much was your deposit?   If it was a few hundred $ you may be better off going to another dealer and negotiating a better deal. Getting $1,000 off MSRP is as easy as asking for it. At this point in the year you should be between $0 and $500 over invoice - and this should include all the fees except TT&L.   So unless you put down a very large deposit you would be better off even if you lost your deposit.   Second - go into the dealership and tell the manager you want the deposit back. If they have not already ordered your car they are not holding up their end of the agreement.
#453 of 3651 depends on where you are by mattinla May 22, 2004 (5:01 pm)
mzcat, here in LA good luck paying so little over invoice. I hunted and hunted and hunted.. sure if I wanted a base model or a sedan, there were some better deals... but around here finding one nicely equipped is not easy, and they are not dealing. The shipment mine came in this week, was completely pre sold by my dealer.   Another dealer said I could order up until June, and that their deliveries had been running under two months. Maybe because we are closer to the port and pre-delivery lot? The car I picked up yesterday was ordered by someone else in late March. The dealer found them another one they were willing to take, and I got their special order.   It's hard to find lava.. and frankly I don't think having it driven 100 miles makes much of a difference. I've had a dealer drive a found car over 200 miles in the past. They usually do a swap.. so a tech drives one there and takes yours back. 100 miles, or even 200, hardly puts it in used car territory.

#454 of 3651 buying on internet? by tonytouch May 23, 2004 (10:38 am)
Replying to: mattinla (May 22, 2004 5:01 pm) I am moving from Boston to Atlanta this summer for school, and I am interested in buying a M3 when I get down there. My preference is to do an internet deal with one of the ATL dealerships right now, and then just pick it up when I move down there. Any tips on negotiating over email? Is it the same thing as doing it in person? Also, should I tell him the exact options & color I want? Does my bargaining clout decrease when he knows I want one specific car?   thanks!
