Replying to: moveover (Aug 28, 2008 1:58 pm) It would be really interesting to see the actual prices these cars eventually go for. That price is $1200 more than I paid for my 07 and I have 17,000 miles. I understand Carmax is a no negotiation place but that doesn't mean they never lower there stated prices. I have yet to hear somebody report or chime in "OMG I didn't know these things sold for $16500 new...I just paid $17,700 for one with 20k on it". I just went on Cars.com and pulled up used Mazda6s for sale in Chicago area and the majority of the the 07s with similar mileage have asking prices of around $14,900. I assume those prices are negotiated down to something between $13k and $14k. Even if it's $13k---that's not bad 1st year depreciation from $16500. That's 21% and lots of cars suffer that or more depreciation in the first year. Now if you're talking off of original MSRP, it's closer to 38% but nobody paid MSRP.

Replying to: m6user (Aug 28, 2008 11:16 am) Oh, they are getting those prices. That is about the prices at the auctions as well. Crazy huh??? So much for crappy resale.... I just passed on a 2004 Mazda6 i Sport (spoiler, fog lights, side skirts, sport front and rear bumpers) with leather / moon roof / Bose Audio / automatic with 53,000 on the clock for $12,500 at the auction!

Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 28, 2008 2:51 pm) Anyway, of these 84, the vast majority are asking below $16,000. Only 23 are asking above that. I underlined asking as you know as well as I do that used cars prices are highly negotiable, even moreso than new car prices usually. So, I don't know what kind of auctions you guys attend, but I would think that wholesale prices are well below these amounts. I mean how can new car dealers sell 2007 Mazda6s for $15,000 if they are paying anything near that at auctions or for trade-ins???

Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 28, 2008 3:46 pm) Now, if I thought for a minute that was actually possible I might just do it. But there is something wrong with this picture. Are the asking and getting prices in your area crazy? By that I mean do people ask $18,000 but end up selling for $13000 and is that common?.

Replying to: m6user (Aug 28, 2008 3:59 pm) Nope. As I said, these stikin' Mazda's go for crazy money at the auctions over here. They are going for $2,000-$3,000 over Glaves Book. Not to mention that most of the cars end up needing some sort of re conditioning like tires and fluid changes. Add that to shipping costs, they get quite pricey. That is why you see them listing for $17,000. If you want to get technical, $16,990. |

Replying to: m6user (Aug 28, 2008 2:50 pm) A big dealer here in the DC area with many brands sold their last Mazda6 VE last week for around $17200. (no haggle internet price) A similair car used at their sister Nissan store is also $17200  http://www.fitzmall.com/fitzway/carfind/RESULTSB.ASP?V_XREFID=R13WR0022839654390- - 62 I started shopping for my car in early May and the best deals were to be had around memorial day on Mazda's both 3 and 6's. Right now the 3's are at least $500 above invoice. I do see discounting on the 09 6's already, as seen at Fitzmall.com
