Replying to: mickeyrom (Aug 28, 2008 9:08 am)  Is comparing the pricing of midsize sedans is considered to be off-topic here in the midsize sedans comparison discussion? Clearly you are surprised by what the actual selling price of the Mazda6 had been, as I had postulated  . The point being that Kia and Hyundai are not the only lower priced options in the midsize segment. The Mazda6 and at times Ford Fusion (which had $4000 rebates not too long ago, IIRC) have presented similar values (to Sonata and Optima) in terms of selling prices. The 2008 Mazda6i touring, with the optional moonroof added, has MSRP of $23760 and invoice is $21,926. You must be looking at a grand touring to get up to $25K in a 4 cyl. Based on edmunds model review the grand touring vs. the touring adds: xenon headlights, foglamps, a sunroof, electroluminescent gauges, automatic climate control and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. These were usually selling at or below invoice in the Chicago and Milwaukee areas, so that would be around $21,900 for the touring and $23,000 for the grand touring. They have had rebates of $2500-3000 nearly continuously for at least 2-3 years...so that puts the final price at about $19,000-$19,500 for the touring and $20,000 to $20,500 for the grand touring for just about anyone who asked. At auto show time (in 2007, not sure about 2008) Mazda even had an extra $1000 rebate in this area, that was available on top of the normal $3000ish rebates. Not sure why you are so defensive/irritated, we are just sharing information. No one is saying "hey, you should have bought something else", we are just comparing mid-size sedan info...kind of the point here, I thought.

I was curious about Optima pricing, so I took a look at that and it turns out the Optima currently has a $3000 to $4000 rebate on the 2008  . That is a huge rebate for a car that is already cheap. Looks like the top of the line would now be available at perhaps around $18,000 and maybe $13,000 for the base.

Replying to: mickeyrom (Aug 28, 2008 10:47 am) According to a leading German publication the Mazda6 is the most reliable car for the first 100,000 km Btw. 2007 Mazda6 ex-rentals (Hertz) are selling for $15-16k with 30K

Replying to: moveover (Aug 28, 2008 11:01 am) That would be nice but Mickeyrom is correct I feel about the discounting/rebates affecting resale values. I don't doubt that Hertz is asking that much for them but I would highly doubt they are getting close to those prices. Unless of course they take them to somewhere in the country where "people have never seen $5000 off of MSRP for a 4 cyl. car" before.
