First time car buyer here and a bit overwhelmed with the process. I have gotten 3 dealership quotes. The lowest I have received to date is $20,940 (which is includes destination, $1192 in local taxes, and $165 DMV). The TMV price is $19,760 --- if I include taxes and DMV, the total is $21,117. This is for the basic 2010 S Sport - no additional options. If feels like it is a fair deal but am wondering whether it might be possible to do better. I live in the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area. any insights would be most appreciated! Thanks very much in advance for your help!

| Last week I purchased a 2010 Mazda3i Touring automatic for a family member from Russell & Smith Mazda in Houston. The final price (as advertised) was $16,988 with 0% financing for 36 months. Texas has a 6% sales tax rate so the OTD price including TT&L was $18,270. Very easy transaction negotiated over the phone and by email with no hidden fees or dealer add-ons, and no high pressure extended warranty pitches, etc. I live near the dealership and it seemed to be a good price, so I did not shop it too hard. I was somewhat surprised that there was no additional savings available if I did not take the interest free financing. I was also looking at a 2010 Mazda6i Sport, but the lower price, interest free money, and resale value of the Mazda3 made it a better value for my needs. | |

I found this site (along with Edmunds.com) helpful during my purchase so thought I would pass along my experience and what I paid. I got the 2010 Mazda3 iTouring in Durham NC on November 28, 2010 at Sport Durst (they were good to work with). I paid $18,123 before NC fees ($1057.76 total fees including $450 documentation). So out the door the charge was $19,181). For this price, I got the standard touring package, moonroof and wheel locks and the large spoiler (they came down on the spoiler). They would not budge on the satellite radio which I really wanted and they wanted to charge me about $650 to add it it since they'd have to install it. They did give me a lower price for a separate one that was not Mazda but a few people told me I could just get that later at Best Buy for about $100. I got this price at 2 dealers here and one was about 600 more. I found the trick was to find the car that has almost everything you want at a dealer - then go for that one. They are much more able to come down if it's on their lot and only needs a few things added to it. I started out at Edmunds and got them all to email me then we continued emailing before I visited. Boy it sure helped when they gave me a number - I could just pull my email on my phone and say, hey this guy is offering this and that and show them. Big help! I got all the invoice numbers at Edmunds and wrote it out and emailed it and covered it in person with them (knowing they could still come down) - they gave me some flack but this helped me know I was getting a fair deal. Then I took a break, crunched the numbers somewhere else and then called them to do the final negotiation, then came back and picked it up. I did get the $500 Mazda loyalty and the $500 off because I financed but I got 0% - that was a snap and no hidden charges. Hit me back to let me know your thoughts on the price I paid or if I can answer any questions. Thanks. |

Bought a 2010 Mazda 3 GT with Tech package, Moonroof/Bose package, and Homelink. MSRP was $26,115, invoice was $24,249. I paid $23,079 minus the $500 loyalty rebate for a total final price of $22,579 +TTL ($1670 under invoice). I was able to finance for 3 yrs 0% interest as well. All in all, a good experience from Browning Mazda Cerritos (Los Angeles)

| Was that out the door including TT&L? That's roughly what I paid out the door including the spoiler. | |
