#1 of 2089 Mazda 6 price in S. F. Bay Area by kragilan Jan 08, 2003 (1:14 pm)
I am shopping for a 2003 Mazda 6, and I am living in San Francisco Bay Area. Could any one please give me your newly purchased specs, price, dealer's name and the sale person's name?   Thanks.

I haggled to $400 over invoice and was offered $500 over invoice by a no-haggle place. As of a few weeks ago, most dealers right now are still demanding MSRP. Find a more rural one if that is the case.
#3 of 2089 Mazda 6 price in S. F. Bay Area by kragilan by mcadrecha Jan 08, 2003 (3:20 pm)
Kragilan... Like you, I shopped the Accord, Camry, Altima, Saturn L300, and the 6. After driving all five, we narrowed it down to the Accord and the 6.   I think the 6 has better handling and braking than the others, looks real sporty, and the build quality appears good, but pricing was a bummer. The Accord pricing I got was quite reasonable for an EX-L 4 CYL car -- I got it for the Edmunds/CR invoice. The similarly equipped 6i I was trying to purchase was offered to me for about 700 under MSRP, still nearly three thousand more than the Accord. I called Mazda dealers in the bay area and said if they could match or come within range of the Accord price, I would buy the 6. It was their sale to win or lose but they said they couldn't match the Accord price so it was a no brainer for us -- we took the Accord.   We love the Accord and are glad we bought it but wish for Mazda's sake they would wake up and smell the coffee: If you are going to design a car to match the competition, you have to match the pricing too, otherwise, you will go down the road of Macintosh computers: great products with pricing that marginalzes itself because the pricing is so high that it only attracts a small percentage of the market (the die-hards).   Perhaps you will have better luck than I with the 6.   Michael

I'm a little afraid to ask, but what is the "BJ discount"?
#6 of 2089 LOL by maltb Jan 09, 2003 (11:20 am)
that's the funniest thing I've seen all day.   I think BJ's is similar to Costco or Sam's Club. No lipstick required.
#7 of 2089 If you were naming a business ... by mazda6s Jan 09, 2003 (11:30 am)
would you name it BJ's? Isn't that sort of like naming your daughter Barbara Jean?

#10 of 2089 Can't wait to join the club! by rgros Jan 10, 2003 (3:40 pm)
Intend to buy a 6s MT Sport Pkg, Bose. Don't have enough nerve to ask what anyone paid but do any of the Houston area owners know of a dealer that is working around Edmunds TMV pricing. Won't buy for another 30 days so haven't attempted to negotiate, just looking to save some aggravation. Every dealer I've spoken to says they are moving them fast (surprise), I've been jumping around just so I can drive the damn thing; but I like U guys don't see any on the road.
