Replying to: z71bill (Jul 22, 2004 7:07 am) I don't find the leather in the Mazda3 hard and slippery at all. It's pretty comfortable to me. IMHO, its quality is quite acceptable for the $590 that Mazda charges. It's an "economy car" after all. Can't ask for too much.
#706 of 4328 Financing by zoommazda3 Jul 26, 2004 (7:02 pm)
Is getting finance better with the Mazda dealership or to a bank? Which do most people prefer?
#707 of 4328 So-so experience in TX by dancehaus Jul 28, 2004 (8:23 pm)
Just bought a Mazda 3S from El Dorado in McKinney, Texas. They looked high and low for the color (winning blue) and the options (ABS + Wheel Locks) and had it shipped from Houston for me. I got 4.4 financing thru my credit union for 65 months. However, it seemed like they didn't care if they sold me the car. I went to a Mitsubishi dealer to look at Lancers (which are stupid I know), and the salesman was very positive. He showed me the best possible deal I could get on the car, and offered tons of incentives, even better finanacing than my credit union. The only reason I didn't go with a Lancer is just that I didn't care for how it looked, and to get one that has power like the Mazda3, you'd have to buy a higher-priced Lancer. Anyways, the Mazda salesman was almost a zombie in comparison, and he didn't tell me about the college graduate rebate program; he just said "none" when I said "Are there any incentives". I didn't buy the car because of him, but because I LOVE the car, and they did find exactly what I wanted. $18,057 was what I paid before TT&L, and recent graduate rebate. I also bought the extended non-warranty plan, anyone have any thoughts on that?
#708 of 4328 Mazda3 I S-Plan by ellwood Jul 29, 2004 (6:20 am)
I have heard so many opinions on the S plan. I am very confused. I went to dealership yesterday to purchase Mazda3 and told dealer I had S-plan. They printed out invoice and showed it too me. He told me there were no negotiation on these plans, which I agreed. I was really confused after looking at this invoice since S plan does not provide breakdown on exact costs. The dealer is having to go out of state to get this car and said they would have to charge $150.00 plus destination of $520.00. In addition they are adding on $249.00 processing fee. Should i have to pay these fees under S-Plan.   Mazda 3 i 4 door Power package/16" wheels AC Floor mats Cargo Net Black cloth Interior   Quoted price $15,650.   Out the door $16,788.50. (6% tax)   Is this good deal?? Replies to this message: tommyj49 (Aug 04, 2004 9:25 am) tora9 (Aug 21, 2004 3:37 am) brett65 (Aug 26, 2004 9:22 am)

Replying to: ellwood (Jul 29, 2004 6:20 am) They're making you pay extra? Interesting...I just order my Mazda 3 with the S-Plan. I already had the invoice and s-plan prices. My future car is currently in transit from Japan, but was scheduled to go to another dealership out of state. There was no mention at all about any addition processing or extra destination (besides the $520) fees to me. Therefore, as far as I know, I'm not getting charged them.   My (future) car: Mazda 3s 5-door Xenon/TPMS package Sunroof/6-CD package ABS/Side airbag package   Estimated price from s-plan (including $500 loyalty bonus): $17,855   Will know 'out-the-door' price in 4-6 weeks.

#711 of 4328 Great Bay Area experience by alphaq301 Aug 04, 2004 (4:24 pm)
I live in San Francisco and had a great buying experience at Putnam Mazda. I got a 3i auto with ac and power/16" alloy wheels. The internet salesman quoted me invoice price even though the car hadn't arrived in their lot yet. There were no other models in all northern california at the time and menlo mazda offered 200 below msrp, bunch of horrible salesmen. When car arrived (within the 2 weeks salesman said it would) the price was true to his word and my parents and i were in and out within 1.5 hours. Thats the fastest ever for purchasing contract, car inspection, insurance that my parents have been involved in for their 35 years of auto purchasing.

#714 of 4328 Costco Program is Great! by lisa26 Aug 09, 2004 (9:17 am)
I live in Los Angeles, CA and went through the Costco Buying Program with Long Beach Lincoln/Mercury/Mazda. I must tell you how happy I am about this program because there is no hassle whatsoever!! The amount of the car is pre-determined (in this case $300 over invoice) so there is no haggling to deal with.   The salesman was exceptionally friendly and helpful...giving me all prices over the phone. He searched all of California for the particular car I wanted and when he couldn't find it, he checked the next shipment coming in. It's already on its way, so I have to wait about 4 weeks for his arrival.   Strato Blue 3i Beige interior Manual transmission ABS package Moonroof/6-disc changer $18,040 MSRP $16,853 Inv $17,053 MY purchase price before TTL   I may switch to the Velocity Red color since I'm not too fond of the beige interior.
