Thanks for the in-depth reply. I in fact found a vehicle in Las Vegas, and there is no problem selling to a Canadian. I found that Oregon and Washington dealers told me they would be in violation of their franchise agreement, and were not able to deal with Canadian residents.
At any rate, I would have to front the cash (debt...lol) for the US model. I've gone back and forth on this, and the appeal of low financing rates in Canada, and the "no-hassle" factor of buying at home has a great deal to be said for it. I found a PearlWater White (my favourite colour and NOT available in Canada) with a nav system (again, NOT available in Canada)for $28K (with doc fees and transfer costs). After currency convert and 6.1% tax, it works to about $33,300. The fees for Canada,and modification, plus a grand for the trip to vegas and back driving add about another $1500, so I'm close to $35000. I have a price from my local dealer for $37000(No nav and liquid platinum, my 2nd choice), and I can finance at 1.9%...I just don't know

Your pricing is actually too high. Keep emailing to more dealers because you should be able get it for about $6k off MSRP or $26-26.5k (as 1k MAC rebate is excluded for your cash purchase). You should NOT pay any more than $100 for doc fees and 30 day temp tags.
 
Conversion should be under $100 for day time running lights... Nothing else will be need because MS6 is on the import "list".
 
Look into shipping to Seattle as that will be under $500 from most of Western US compared to your cost of driving. Shipping from East cost to Seattle should run around $1k so that gives you access to all US dealers. Email them all if you want too...

How do you negotiate via email when I am completely outside there market? I don't see how I really have any bargaining power. Also, where would I have them ship too?
MAIN POINT: How are they going to offer 6K off of MSRP? According to the numbers that I've seen, they only have about $3000 of juice in the msrp. It seems Mazda is rebating $2500 which I would direct back to the dealer automatically. I really have appreciated your input. Maybe I should just get you to buy it for me, and then flip to me?? LOL

I don't think being out of the area harms your bargaining power at all. You do not even have to tell them that initially, but if you do it may actually help your bargaining power, since you are indicating you are willing to travel just about anywhere to get a good deal. You don't really need to negotiate, just ask them for their selling price on a specific car that they have in stock.
 
Some dealers even post the discount selling prices on the internet. One in my state is at holidayautomotive.com, looks like they only have one speed6 left, but it is listed on website with sale price of about $5800 below MSRP. $24,798 sale price, $30585 MSRP. A while back someone on here had even called them and confirmed their pricing.
 
Another one that posts sale prices is fitzmall.com, I have not looked at their pricing though.
 
However, I think rebates are sometimes based on residence of buyer, so you would want to check on that too at some point.
 
edit: Just noticed on that Holiday site it says "We can arrange delivery anywhere in the United States or Canada!"

Incentives are based on the location of dealer!

I too cross shopped MS6 with Mazda 6 V6 GT and Mazda CX7. After the test drive, and initial offer ($5000 off MSRP at first), I ended up buying the MS6 Sport. Ride is very good for an all-out performance car. You do feel the bumps more so than say, a Honda Accord, but it's never jittery and somewhat comfortable. Go test drive a Subaru WRX STi, you will literally feel like you are in a crosscountry rally all day. Gas mileage is excellent for a car of this caliber too. I have been driving my MS6 for about a month, and have been getting around 21.5 MPG with aggressive driving and mostly freeway miles. When I get stuck ina stop-and-go traffic, that's when my fuel economy suffers. Overall, definitely a bargain when you consider that my dealership offered the 6 GT V6 hatchback at $24,000, and I ended up paying about $22K for MS6 Sport. I like the way Mazda 6 drove, but MS6 makes me smile everytime I get in the car. By the way, this is coming from an ex-BMW owner.

Hi, am up in Michigan and am getting a price of $279.00 month for 24 months with 10,500 miles/year with $1500.00 down for an 06 gt with moonroof.Would need to buy up miles to 15 k/year. How much is it per mile to buy up front? Just wondering if this is a great deal or should i wait. I have 7 payments at 313.00 month on the gas-guzzling chevy trailblazer that i want to get rid of.I would need to roll this in if i make a move before lease end.This dealer has about 20 ms6 in stock.Any input on price/timing of purchase would be appreciated.

pcm reprogramming by duffd1

I just got the reprogramming done. Big difference. Much smoother shifting. For those who have not had this recall done, I encourage you to get your speed6 into the service dept ASAP

Mazdaspeed 6 vs Subaru Legacy Spec B by peter47

Trying to decide between a Mazdaspeed 6 and a Subaru Legacy Spec B. Tough decision! Any suggestions or advice? The Subaru costs more. I like the styling better of the Mazda but I have heard of some possible reliability issues with it.
