Pricing Confusion by jc106
Jan 20, 2004 (2:13 pm)
Reply
FYI - I just bought a 3S five door this weekend and I partially relied on Edmunds for pricing information. Based on my reading the five door comes with the "sport" package as a standard feature, whereas the Edmunds' data shows it as a $490(MSRP) option. This would inflate the invoice price and could result in a happy customer thinking he/she got invoice pricing and a happy dealer getting an extra $490 bucks. Maybe ignorance is bliss?..
 
Good luck to all

well on the sedan, it IS an extra cost option whereas the hatch automatically comes that way without a seperate extra cost.
 
maybe that's where your confusion lies?

I paid $15,283 for a silver one with manual transmission, power/16" option. Total with tax etc.. was 16,713. I was happy with the price and the buying experience was painless (my first new car). I've only had it few hours, but I love it so far. I forgot, I'm in Atlanta, GA.

Edmunds pricer is wrong for the Mazda3 s 5door by mazda6s

The Edmunds pricer is wrong for the Mazda3 s 5door. The Sport Package is standard on this model and is included in the base price ($17415 inc. destination). So, if you use the Edmunds pricer and add it again, the price is $490 too high. Just don't check the box for the Sport Package and it's fine. I'm sure no dealers are going to complain if a few people come in with offers that are $490 higher than they need to be, though. The Edmunds pricer works fine for the Mazda3 s sedan.
 
I mentioned this a couple of months ago but I guess they aren't reading these forums, or don't care.

My dealer swapped with one up in Wisconsin to get me a Titanium S sedan with only the airbag/ABS package and the 6-CD/Moonroof package. Oh, and wheel locks. Can't forget those </sarcasm>.
 
As I said before, I really enjoyed this dealer and using the S-Plan. I don't know if they treat everyone this way (and being a 25-year old guy that likes to wear jeans and looks young I don't get the greatest of treatment at car dealers), but it was as if we were old friends. Joking around and everything. Very laid back and lots of smiles. They did a lot of work for me - I'm picky and changed my mind a few times along the way.

What's with Titanium? by titanium3

If you look at my sign-in name I have a Titanium Mazda 3 (5 dr), but I want to know "Why so many Titaniums?". I would much rather have had black, red, or silver (in that order) but didn't want to wait. If it had come in the 5 dr, my color of choice would have been indigo blue mica although I think it would have been even harder to maintain than black because of the way it shines in the sun. I am happy that it is so popular because that means good resale, and it is growing on me. Is Titanium the "new" black?

I'm putting this into the people who watch the price/options database for an answer. Thanks for bringing this up (again).
