#873 of 3654 Mazda 3i [jerseygirl3] by chotali Sep 24, 2004 (6:34 pm)
Replying to: jerseygirl3 (Sep 17, 2004 4:12 pm) I am from the capital region of NY (Albany), and wrote message on this board a while back about the dealerships in this area trying to charge sticker price. Based on a message posted by a Mazda 3 owners's experience at White Plains Mazda (2 1/2 hour drive from Albany), I decided to give them a call after being frustrated with the lack of interest in moving cars from the Albany area dealers. I had been quoted on a 3I model with air bag pkg, 16" allow pkg, auto, moon roof pg, wheel locks, wing spoiler, and the temp guage rear view mirror a price of $19,345.00. Again this was I model. When i searched White Plains inventory they had over 25 3's in stock. I found a S model, with moonroof pkg, auto, sport pkg (17 inch tires), cargo net, rear lip spoiler, wheel locks and side stills. I go this car for $18,638.00, invoice price of $18,615.00! I can't begin to explain how much of a pleasure it was to do with White Plains Mazda. To save over $500 and to get a S model with virtually the same options was a great deal! I would definitely buy another car from White Plains!

Hey everyone. Just signed up for this outstanding website and have a couple of questions about the Mazda 3s.   I see that Edmunds does not have any Invoice information for the automatic transmission. Can I assume that the base Invoice price only increases as much as the auto tranny($900)? Also, I have noticed that Mazda's customization forces you to choose the Sport package when you choose leather interior. Meanwhile, the brochure tells me its an option without any qualifiers. Which is it? Replies to this message: sschaffer (Sep 27, 2004 6:20 pm) peterdh2000 (Sep 27, 2004 11:11 pm)

Replying to: fuzzboxer (Sep 27, 2004 11:44 am) I've got the sport pack and leather on my S sedan, they are listed on the Monroney sticker as separate items. I tried the "build a car" thing on the Mazda website and it does seem to force the sport pack when you choose the leather option.   I think the only way to tell for sure would be to ask a Mazda dealer if they can order the leather pack without the sport pack, though I doubt if they can take orders on 04 models any more.

Replying to: sschaffer (Sep 27, 2004 6:20 pm) my friend just ordered a gray 3s sedan (2005 i think). he wanted leather and abs/sab/sac pack only, but had to add the sport pack to get that combo. sucks b/c you can't put aftermarket leather in w/the seat-mounted side airbags.   5200 miles in 3 months in our 2004 3s hatch. no problems at all. have to recommend you get the abs/sab/sac package also. only has to work once to make it worth the extra $$.

I just decided to go with both. What the hell, right?   Also, I just got an email from a Mazda dealer saying he will honor the Edmunds TMV price. Should I accept or try to get him closer to invoice price? Its about $1000 over invoice.
#880 of 3654 Mazda 3s5dr buying experience by eoghan1 Sep 28, 2004 (9:11 am)
Bought my Hatch with the ABS, sunroof and leather for $18710,the S-plan price,plus a $199 conveyance fee. I am also a GM supplier and the GM dealers waived any conveyance fees. The S plan web site implies administrative fees are in the S plan price. I suspect I got overcharged The $199. Considered the Malibu Maxx and Vibe and substantial GM rebates, but the Mazda felt more balanced and fun to drive. Dealer(Modern Motors- Thompsonville, CT) was supposed to find a unit with the self dimming mirror, but did not and was supposed to assist in getting one installed but he has not done so. I would like to hear from people who have installed the $244 self dimming mirror from mazdastuff.com and anyone who has had the 3M, Scotchgard,or invisible bra treatment. Local installers are quoting $550 for the front, rockers, wheel wells. So far(600 Miles) I am finding the car to be just about what I wanted to buzz around back roads, run errands etc.

Well, looks like I could be driving a new Mazda pretty soon! I ordered a black Mazda 3s with 4-Speed sport tranny, ABS/SAB, moonroof & 6-CD, xenon, and sport packages with leather interior (plus a few little extras) all for $20,900. Not bad for a fully loaded brand new car.   I think I came away with a winner here.
