I had a Viper remote starter on my old mazda3. That thing could start the car from 1/2 mile away! https://www.viper.com/

So, there is no coin compartment. Where do you guys store your coins in the car?

As I type, my new 2013 Meteor Gray/Sand GT w/tech package is sitting in my driveway. I must admit, I've walked by my front door about 12 times since I've been home specifically so I could gaze at my new toy. The 20" wheels ROCK. Now, just gotta practice driving that bad boy, especially...

Thanks for your reply! Dealer offered me $6k. I so sweetly replied, no way. Got him up to $7400, so for convenience I decided to accept. I pick up my new CX-9 tomorrow.

helbigtw THANKS!

Grey Yes, I guess I got a bang for my buck. Also the convenience thing of the trade in vs. trying to sell it on my own was worth it to me. Just wanted to be done with it. It really wasn't that bad, and I did ALL of my correspondence through email so I walked in with a negotiated price on the...

So, I went in to make the purchase and low and behold the car wasn't there (even though I emailed a head of time to make sure it was). Then come to find out that the manager was driving because it was a demo and had 2600 miles on it. I'm fine with that because in my head I'm thinking I can get...

Our family has grown and we need a 3rd row car and it is which much regret that I must sell my beautiful 2005 mazda 3. (sob sob). I'm going to attempt to sell it privately and have done the Kelly Blue Book research and looked up current prices but everything for sale out there doesn't seem to...

SUPER LONG, but such a great article, thanks again Grey. I'm going in Saturday to make a deal or walk. I've gotten the price down by $500 more, and another dealership is trying to go lower so we shall see..... Also trying to sell my current mazda3 on craigslist. So sad to see it go :(

NSBIO That's exactly what I have been doing. I didn't want to have any in store interaction and wanted very limited phone conversations. I can't even believe the level of unprofessional-ism from some of them though, and they're the sales managers! The last email communication I had from a...

Thanks again Grey. VERY helpful. I went in to a dealer to test drive the car, but have been wheeling and dealing with everyone over the phone. I've been dealing with multiple salesman at each dealer, but mostly just the sales managers. I'm cutting right to the chase with these guys, and...

Thanks Grey! That's good plan, see if I waited for the 2014's I would be tempted to wait for the remodeled 2015! And, unfortunately with my growing family I need something now. I'm now wondering how much more the 2013's will be discounted once the 2014's come out. We talking thousands, or A...

You think? $33.7 is the lowest I can get from anyone for a 2013 Grand Touring w/tech package, white. I'm in MA and I've talked to about 8 dealers in my area but also in RI and CT. No one's dealing and no one's lowering. All the other dealers I've spoke to come in at $35-$37 and no one is...

Hmmmm, to wait or jump head first? I know they'll be revealed at a show in October, so I'm assuming they'll hit lots in November/December....?

Thanks I'm pretty decided on the 2013 GT w/tech package. Best price I've got so far is $35k out the door, but I'm wondering is if I should wait for the 2014's so I could maybe get a deeper discount on the 2013's. How much more are they discounted on average? I can't find anything on the web.
