#66 of 4328 Greg... by tiredofmanual Jan 19, 2004 (12:54 pm)
Did I mention that I was looking for an S sedan? The closest one to me that is exactly how I want it (according to the inventory search on Mazdausa.com) in Velocity Red is in Milwaukee, but my dealer tells me that they called them up and were told that the delivery date for that car is TBD - they don't know when exactly they'll get it in. Truth? I don't know, but they've been stand up people to deal with so far. Not pushy and very friendly.   Now, if I go with the Titanium Gray, there are two that show up as exact matches, according to the inventory search on Mazdausa.com. Both are at the same dealership in Racine, WI. But I don't know the status on them. Perhaps they have deposits on them, perhaps not. We'll see. I'm expecting a call from my dealer later today.

Thanks for your responses. I spoke to my dealer today and he found those same ones in Titanium that I found. Two up in Racine, and one locally that has a few extra options. I told him I would prefer the ones in Wisconsin but would take either of the three. Now... Let's see if he can work out a trade If all goes well I might just be taking delivery tomorrow.   I'm getting S-Plan pricing so I'm not too concerned with the extra cost of those extra options. I just don't need them. But I'm getting antsy. I sold my car last Thursday and have been bumming rides from friends. Luckily, I'm on vacation and don't need to get to and from work for a while.
#71 of 4328 tiredofmanual - s plan deal by oldmonk Jan 19, 2004 (5:19 pm)
Brian, Did you try to negotiate for any price below the s plan price? If regular customers can get deals close to invoice, should not customers eligible for the s plan benefit much more than that? The s plan price comes to about invoice price give or take a few dollars.
#72 of 4328 oldmonk by tiredofmanual Jan 19, 2004 (6:19 pm)
the benefit of the s-plan is that you get a great deal with none of the hassles associated with negotiation. The s-plan price is not negotiable.

Anyone can negotiate a deal close to invoice, on most cars. Dealers can afford to do sell some cars close to invoice because of all the people that pay full MSRP (or more). If it wasn't for that, they wouldn't be able to offer s-plan either.   No, it's not fair, but that's the way it works.
#75 of 4328 Don't Forget by mbennett674 Jan 19, 2004 (8:09 pm)
Invoice isn't the bottom line...   Dealers also get extra cash called the "Dealer Holdback" from Mazda, so on a car with a 20K invoice, the dealer may only pay 19K for the car. Don't worry - the dealership is making money.
