#21 of 432 just picked up my ES-V6 AWD Tribute for 21350 by happymister

Sep 02, 2003 (2:44 pm)

went to the dealership yesterday just before closing.. and picked up the ES-V6 AWD tribute with rear bumper plate, cargo-tray and all waeather mats for $21350. bought it from 128 Mazda in Wakefield, MA. Had been to a couple of other dealerships.. pricing was similar.. but most were screwing me in my trade -in - 97 Eclipse GSX AWD with 81k miles.
most dealers were giving me from $3k to $5k for it.. stating edmunds Tradein Values are completely out-of-whack for this economy. 128 Mazda gave me $5817 for it.. so i closed to the deal. The edmunds value is $7500. and it needs a bit of work with the steering.. haven't priced it out.. so this seemed the best i can get.
 
and oh BTW, i got the 7yr/100k extended warranty thru the dealership.. forget the details..it was some company they use..i thought dealerships only give Mazda's own extended warranty.. but anyways..i paid $794 for it and have 60 days to review teh details and cancel if i change my mind. any advice/recommendadations on it ?

I am interested in getting an '03 ES Tribute and live in the Seattle area. Can anyone recommend a dealership in the Everett-Seattle-Tacoma corridor?

newzoomer,
 
Did you get Power Sliding Glass Moonroof on your Trib ???

#27 of 432 Happy Mister, Q for ya... by chimpsnest

Sep 18, 2003 (6:24 am)

I'm curious if that 21350 includes the trade or if they sold you the Trib for that then subtracted your trade $.
 
I also bought my vehicle there - was an interesting experience to say the least, glad I had a bulldog for a friend w/me to make sure I didn't get screwed on my trade.
 
Thanks,
Chimpy
BTW, I got an '03 Trib ES w/the lux and tow pkg plus the rear cargo mat thing - I think I paid like 1300 for the ext. warranty though, hmmm.

I'm amazed to hear about all these 2003's....we have been out of 2003's Tributes for more than 45 days. We have had 2004 for that entire time....
 
also, with the slightly redesigned 2004's coming out in January I can't imagine why a dealer has 2003's in stock.

#30 of 432 re: Question on trade in by tidester

Did the dealership pay off your loan? If so, then the $3,300 "charge" is correct. Otherwise, you paid twice!
