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?

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.

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.

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.

the gray is a great color, very catching on our hatch and the sedans i've seen. ours gets lots of second looks. we only considered strato (dark) blue as the other option. gray, red, strato seem to be the most prevalent colors in seattle. congrats on your deal, now the waiting starts, they told my friend 8-12 weeks on a from scratch factory order. he's been driving ours to get his fix...
