Any buyer who believes that kind of crap probably deserves to get ripped off. You can be sure that they have it worked out so they're not giving anything away.   For some reason this reminds me of a pigeon drop. I guess it's because the dealer is going to use the buyer's own desire to get something for nothing to take advantage of them.
#48 of 4328 3 month wait? by ohsoribby Jan 17, 2004 (6:00 pm)
I decided to get the black hatch, fully loaded and it seems no dealership in my area (boston) has one .. does it really take 3 months for a dealership to order one for me from mazda?
#49 of 4328 Just bought a loaded Mazda3 hatchback by harrymccracken Jan 17, 2004 (6:19 pm)
...in the Bay Area--a Strato Blue one with automatic, ABS, xenon, moonroof and CD changer, leather, and navigation system. The price: $21,340, which seems to be exactly at invoice. I avoided a $219 "vehicle theft recovery" fee (read: etching a number), so the only thing I'm paying other than various fees to California is a $45 license fee.   They weren't interested in offering me anything reasonable for my current car (a 1996 Saturn which seems to wholesale for something over $2000, but which they wouldn't give me more than $1000 for) so I'll be selling that separately. But all in all, I think I got a good deal...   -- Harry

Was my number....just ordered last weekend - so got a while to go. I got the works less the leather and it was 19.9 + tax which was at invoice assuming the dealer showed me a real invoice

Have your dealer search Mazda inventory around the Northeast. Before I bought mine, I had my dealer (Talarico Mazda in Manchester, NH) do an inventory search for a black one also. They searched as far south as NJ. I ended up with a Winning Blue S instead because the closest black one was in western NY and I didn't want a "new" car with several hundred miles on it. BTW, 3 months doesn't sound outrageous -- I was told at least 8 weeks if I had ordered.   Jim   PS: I don't know where "near Boston" you are, but if you aren't too far from NH, you might want to drive up to (or at least call) Talarico -- they just got in a whole bunch of 3 sedans and hatchbacks on Wednesday.
#52 of 4328 Do it yourself by mbennett674 Jan 18, 2004 (7:36 am)
You can search inventory yourself through the Mazdausa.com site. They list MSRP, but the dealer will be able to show you the Invoice price.   Unless they are going to flatbed the car for you, you're better off waiting - besides - who wants a car that has been test driven - I want mine right off the boat - not beaten up by test drivers.

I fully realize Toyota came out with the Corolla in 2002, as a 2003 model. It still puts a redesign not showing up until 2007. The new Honda Civic is closer to reality, but not until 2006 (showing up in late 2005)...   So case in point, Mazda 3 for a 1-2 years won't have any major Japanese competitors coming out with a big redesign. The time is ripe for a hefty price increase for the 2005 Mazda3 in Canada (arriving this fall) , if they so choose.

Hi Harry, Can you tell me which dealer in the bay area did you get it from?   Congrats on your purpchase. You have got an awesome deal!
#56 of 4328 amerstshore deal in London Ontario by barlo Jan 19, 2004 (5:50 am)
I was just wondering amerstshore if you checked any other dealers near by in Woodstock or Stratford for a deal. I am also from London and was wondering if worth while to shop around.   Thanks Barlo
