Here in NC, you can get a 3 in SHIMMERING SAND.
Anyone seen any other colors not listed on the mazdausa site?

The S plan is Mazda's equivalent to Ford's A and Z plan, and yes Ford family members are eligible. I would think you are eligible for any rebates on top of this, but I don't know this for a fact.

You make a good point about lower mileage for the 04 model. Another good point mentioned by someone else is that if you plan on keeping your car for 7 or more years, the blue book value isn't going to show a lot of difference between the 04 and 05 model.
 
So, bottom, line, if the price is right for an 04 model, go for it. Some people do not seem to find the A/C that much of a problem. Different climatic region and different personal tolerance for environmental comfort?

Live in N.J. Considering the 3, dealer only had 2 high ends on lot,sticker 21,500!, expects one more lot of 04's before the 05's. This is not the time to bargain with them. Did they underestimate the demand, or are they pulling a Honda where they purposely hold back on production to increase demand? Also, the pricing, $21500 seems very high for a car in this segment, can get an Accord/Camry or even a 6 cheaper. Whats the deal? Also, what improvements are expected with the 05?

For $21,500, you're getting a lot of features that are not available in the Accord or 6 for that price. Things like Xenon headlights, 17" wheels, 6-CD changer, 8 airbags, etc. The Accord and 6 are thousands more when you add on those options. The Xenons are not available in either model.

My point is that even if they took a Nissan Sentra and added Xenon headlights and 17" wheels and 8 bags, it is still a Sentra, not an Altima or Camry or Accord. The price level for a car of this stature is quite high. For $21500 selling price could probably get you a V6 Accord. The 3 is a very nice car, maybe the best small car out there, but it shouldnt be priced like a midsize. Plus, IMO, the xenon headlights are overrated.

You may find the selection to be very limited a month from now if you want an 2004. Is saving a few hundred or maybe $500 worth not getting the options and or color you want? That is the decision you need to make.

How many km's or miles when you picked up your car? by nyerinmontreal
Aug 31, 2004 (12:46 pm)

I picked up a new mazda 3 GT-GFX last night and was bit dismayed to find almost 300km on the odometer. The car had been obtained in a trade with a dealer in Quebec City and had to be driven from there (they did show me the paperwork on this) but I still found it somewhat annoying. They did credit the 300 miles on my lease contract. Anyone had a similar experience?
