How much did you pay for your Mazda3?

I've been avoiding this thread, because I'm so scared to find out whether or not I got screwed. Ignorance is bliss.
But since no one is posting... I guess I'll get the ball rolling.
I got the 2.0L 4-door iTouring model, no extra options or packages. My cost was $17,845.
I put $3000 down bringing payments to $277 a month, later I added 2 year extended warranty for $1600, added on to financing, bringing payments to what I have currently at $308 per month.

Looks like I over-paid according to that link (and from other sources as well). Well it was my first time buying a new car. I learned some valuable lessons, and even though I overpaid, I could have overpaid a lot more.
I know I got screwed on my financing too, my FICO score going in was 820 and they tried to start me at 9% and I was like eff no. As much as I argued I couldn't get them past 5.99%. I should have walked out the door and I bet they would have changed then.
Well next time I will be so much more prepared I will make sure they sell me their car for LESS than they paid for it. (upyours)

Sounds like my situation, only I didn't have to haggle on the interest rate much. I got 5.99% easily when my bank was only going to give me 6.5%. I wish I had known about truecar sooner!
I have a GT with tech and bose/moonroof package (black/tan), automagic and the homelink mirror. It was $26k out the door after tax which seems pretty decent to me.
I did get the X-Plan deal though (parents company uses Ford for a TON of vehicles) so I'm not sure how different that makes things.

Most times you can get under X-Plan and S-Plan if you go in looking to get under invoice, the plans are just around invoice.
Oh..
Clearly the next time I go to buy a car I need to consult everyone here because that would've been nice to know before I signed the papers (hand)
Hey all- so Im mulling over this potential option-any thoughts?
2010 Mazda 3 GT 5 Door AT
+Bose/Moonroof Pkg
+All Weather Floormats
20k would be my final out the door price.
That includes S plan pricing, and applying all the taxes, plates, misc fees and ($3500) rebate from the clunkers deal.
I am trying to work out a deal w/ adding Sirius as well....
