You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
I agree with that salesman that quotes over the phone are no good.  GET YOUR QUOTES IN EMAIL. This will list all options, taxes fees etc. Take it to the closest dealer or the one you are most likley to use for service and I bet they will match no problem. |

Replying to: kyfdx (May 21, 2008 11:47 am) Another dealer I just spoke to would only give an estimate over the phone, not a quote. His estimate is $19,000 (which is close to TMV $18,939) + NY taxes and fees would be about $21,200. I forgot to ask if dest. charge is alread included. He agrees the first dealer I spoke is just trying to "wake" me up with his low $17,200 quote. |

Replying to: prosend (May 21, 2008 8:45 am) The e-mail also has what I feel are "come ons" like btw-we-have-other-similar-but-less-expensive-models-to-choose-from and a-five-minute-phone-call-from-you-would-prevent-days-and-days-of-e-mail and we-are-the-largest-mazda-dealer-in-the-nation which I think are all meant to generate excitement. The third dealer I called yesterday said (with a tone of disbelief IMO) that if I can get it at that price, go for it. I'm planning to visit the store on Saturday which is about an hour's drive away. I know the quote would be over 48 hours by then but I'd call before I go also to ask what is meant by "Internet purchase". It sounds too good to be true -- 17,200 is 2,445 below MSRP of 19,645 -- and it may well be especially since I know he's trying to make money and not save me money so if anyone knows (or smells) any gotchas please I'd appreciate knowing. Thanks!

Replying to: bbork10002 (May 22, 2008 6:56 am) You could probably get a well equipped -09 Vibe or Matrix now in the low 17000's, even lower in the next few months. Good luck --jjf |

GTs seem to be getting tough to find in California. We really wanted Pearl White but there were no white GTs within 600 miles of us, except a fully loaded one and the crazy dealer in Modesto wanted $31K for it. Mid City Mazda in Eureka had no 08 GTs but had a Black 07 and they offered it to us with Nav and Sat radio and a bunch of other smaller oiptions for 22K. Mazda of Oakland came right out and offered 22k for an 08 GT with no other options. Team Mazda of Vellajo offered $21500 for a white GT w/Homelink but did not have a delivery date for the vehicle. Autowest of Roseville matched Oakland and tossed in wheel locks, cargo net, rear step, dealer tint, full tank of gas. We ended up taking this deal with a blue GT and getting the 3.9% financing as they gave us an ok price on our trade too. Great expereince there especially with their top salesman but my only gripe with them is the whole car buying process should not take 5 hours long. |

| what have been your experiences dealing with carsdirect .Are they on the level? Good or bad ? Thanks. | |
| Yesterday dh and I finally made the decision between the Kia Rondo and the Mazda5 and we are getting a Mazda!!! We had been working with Morrie's Mazda of Minnetonka, Minnesota because they had the ONLY 2008 Mazda5 to test drive in the state. The other three Mazda dealerships in the Twin Cities area are expecting shipments in the next two weeks but we wanted to test drive it, obviously. They gave us a quote of $1555 off of the msrp of the Sport automatic. After test driving the Kia Rondo one last time and being offered a not-so-fabulous price, we decided to call up the saleswoman we were working with at Morries Mazda in Minnetonka and tell her we wanted to reserve one of the Sport automatics she was expecting to get in next week. She had been amazing- taking us for a nice long test drive on Tuesday, bringing it 30 miles to our house on Thursday so we could try putting our carseats and stroller in it and see the fit in our smaller garage, etc. She and I were emailing all day Friday. But when I called to set up a meeting for yesterday afternoon, they told me she "no longer works at Morries Mazda"!!! SO... instead of driving 30 miles south to that dealership, we went to the Luther Brookdale Mazda and I told the internet manager who had emailed me a price quote (but didn't have one for us to test drive) what happened with Morries. He said he'd give us $1600 off msrp so we sat down and looked at what he had coming in. We settled on a Brilliant Black Mazda5 Sport automatic with the popular equipment package. The vehicle was $18,485 after our $1600 off. We opted for the crystal fusion window treatment, the 7 year / 75,000 mile extended warranty, and the Midwest Protection Plan (anti-rust coating, interior protection, etc) and with all that plus taxes and licensing fees, we paid $20,600. We went with Mazda's financing at 3.9% for 60 months. We really ended up liking our experience at Luther Brookdale Mazda more than the Morries Minnetonka Mazda- it was far more relaxed and laid back than the salespeople at Morries. We did like the woman we were working closely with at Morries but the other salespeople were really uptight so when she suddenly "disappeared", we decided to take our business to Luther. We expect our new Mazda5 to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday! Very excited! | |
