| I've been lagging on this and here it is the weekend that I may solicit bids from 2 or 3 dealers. I understand the MSRP on the 07 Mazda 3s Touring is $19,275 (which I believe is identical nationwide) and the destination fee for my area (central California) is $560. | |

I've been lagging on this and here it is the weekend that I may solicit bids from 2 or 3 dealers. I understand the MSRP on the 07 Mazda 3s Touring is $19,275 (which I believe is identical nationwide) and the destination fee for my area (central California) is $560. I want to make a single figure (OTD)out-the-door offer and let the dealer distribute the amount of the check to whatever "fees" or "actual price of the car" that he wants to. I'm not wanting to get into the negotiate this/negotiate that. Facts are I have about 8 accessories / options (i.e. moonroof, rear wing spoiler) I want added that total about $1,700 at invoice cost. So we're at: $19,275 MSRP (Mazda 3s Touring 4-dr. A/T) $ 1,700 Accessories (invoice) $ 560 Destination -------- $21,535 So, considering all the fees they try to add, plus holdback and dealer's incentives and "secret" profit they may get, plus the fact I want the car for as little cost to me as possible, but a REASONABLE, FAIR profit for the dealer, WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A FAIR o-t-d OFFER?? I may have to order my specific car as there are few on the lets already. Any advice on the ordering procedure?? (deposit, etc.) I would appreciate several replies, from both shoppers, buyers AND dealers. Thanks in advance.

| They look ok... similar to the CX7 rims... But does anyone know if we can still option for the 5 spoke rims that were on the 06's? I'm digging the new colors, but not really the new wheels... | |

Replying to: gottabgto (Aug 26, 2006 2:06 pm) Wrong information. Crystal white is a pearl paint and it's $200. |

All dealers custom order all their inventory, with the acecption of a few gimmies from the port, and I can tell you that a white Mazda3 is rare. Not many dealers order them. In MY 2006, I had to locate a Mazda3 GT in Whitewater pearl and the closest was 300 miles away, and this was in the winter. So, Mazda3 supply was plentiful then. |

Ditto on the 'mesh' grill replacing the slat grill for '07 for much of the Mazda3 lineup. Looks especially like a styling downgrade on the 5-door! Boo Mazda, you're making me eye Civics and Fits again. And all you had to do was leave the (great) styling and wheels alone. I guess if it ain't broke, break it.
