#80 of 4328 waiting in NJ by gazelle2 Jan 20, 2004 (6:34 am)
My Titanium Hatch, leather, manual, ABS, moonroof, no nav remains but an elusive vision in the glossy brochure. Signed papers 10 days ago, but except for one call early on from my salesperson, no contact. Maybe it is true that there are simply no cars out there yet with my trim specs, and that I will be waiting another month or so! Upside is that they will honor the trade in price on my 2001 GTI, so I can pile miles on with impunity until the deal is done. This Saturday will mark the two week point since I signed on for $19K in the showroom up in Wayne, NJ.

I found two cars that should be arriving at the dealers any day, if they arent there now. but, they are in CAL emission states and your dealer in NJ only has federal emission cars since nj is not a CAL state.....This might mean the dealers will not swap because non-CAL cars cannot be sold in Mass, where theses are located. The ones that I found without CAL emissions have not even left japan yet.   mbennett....FYI. on a dealer swap the original dealer who has the car keeps the holdback, not the dealer getting the car. So a swap changes the finacial picture. In many cases the dealer who originally had the car makes more than the selling dealer. This is one reason why dealer swaps are not the most cost effective way to buy a car.   keep us updated.
#82 of 4328 Interesting by mbennett674 Jan 20, 2004 (8:53 am)
That's interesting to know. It really doesn't seem like there are any available cars out there. I signed the papers two weeks ago, and haven't heard anything from my dealer.   I was starting to think that if I added leather to my order, it might accelerate things (I have every other option, and it seems that most who get the Nav get the Leather). Not sure how I feel about the leather though. Does anyone have it, and have anything to compare it to? Is it cheap feeling? I'm pretty sure of my decision to go cloth, but since I seem to have a few months - I can keep rethinking...

as tiredofmanual said, the s-plan is intended to give you a hassle-free great price.   It's not a "you always get the best price over anybody else no matter what" plan.
#84 of 4328 My deal... by edpaffjr Jan 20, 2004 (9:07 am)
I'm finalizing my purchase of a black 3I manual transmission with the power and a/c packages for 15,884 out the door. This is in Cincinnati, OH. I can't wait to drive it again...
#85 of 4328 leather by gazelle2 Jan 20, 2004 (9:15 am)
Some of the postings in the Mazda 3 discussion earlier on seemed to be giving the leather very high grades. I remember one or two which commented on the quality being better than they had expected.        I live near Flemington Mazda and they recently had a very large shipment of hatchbacks--15 or so--but all with cloth. saw a leather Titanium hatch, fully loaded, at Open Road Mazda in Edison, NJ. It was New Year's Day and they were closed, but it was an actual sighting of a M3 in full trim. I don't know why Mazda wouldn't be getting production out at full clip, given their ad campaigns and the fact that they do have to wean people away from Honda and Toyota, no easy task!

best to ask those non-pricing questions over at the other 3 forum on this site, as Pat will come down hard on you (deservedly so!).   But to quickly answer your question, yes, the leather is on the cheaper side, especially noticable on the door inserts. It looks wrinkled as it seems stiffer and not as supple. As a stiffer and tougher leather, I actually liked it in that I slid around less on the seats than I have done in cars with better leather.   Another benefit: it might hold up better to sharp objects as a result of it's seemingly thicker feel.
