Well, I didn't get a chance to test drive one locally today. I'm going to low-ball the dealer for $23,800 (OTD) on the 2008. I know. I know. It ain't going to happen. Maybe go up to $24,500. I'm not going to start negotiating until I know for sure that I could make the 4 hour drive up...

Awesome. That's good to know. Thanks again everyone.

I agree. I actually told him that I also liked the white. (which I do). So what's the deal with the turbos? Also, I've heard that the A/C doesn't blow very strong. In S.Florida, A/C is a top priority. I guess we'll see what happens. I plan to go to a local dealer in a little while to look...

Thanks dandydaniel. The 2008.5 doesn't come in Cosmic Blue, which is my favorite color. If you got a 2008.5 for $22,740, don't you think that I should try to get a 2008 for $22,500? Obviously, they arent selling as fast at this dealership if they still have a CB 2008 GT. I might just suck it...

Thanks DKo5. I think that it's a decent deal. I just want to have a nice reliable car with some pep. I don't drive too fast, but I like to be able to gas it once in a while. My concerns were answered regarding the turbos and weak engines that I previously read about. I'm trying to negotiate...

Damn Justin, I'm very sorry about your mom. I know that you've already heard this but, know that she's in a better place and isn't suffering. One day, you'll see her again. For now, pray that she asends to heaven and rests in peace. Be the son that she will always be proud of. Good Bless.

Damn, sorry to hear about your car. I hope that the cops find it in one piece. What's up with your insurance? Didn't you have full coverage?

It has 48 miles on it. I assume that those are hard driven miles. It's good to know that the 2008's aren't having turbo problems. They arent moving too much on the price, so I wanted to make sure the I was getting ripped off. I guess that $1,700.00 off the sticker isn't too bad. Thanks again.

I found one of the last remaining new Cosmic Blue Mazdaspeed 3's. It's a Grand Touring (no navigation.) It stickers for $24,700. They want $23,000 plus tax/tag. They said that it would be about $25,000 (Out the door). What do you guys think of that deal? Are the 2008.5's any better? I...

Thanks for the feedback. Congratulations and good luck with your new car.

Thanks. It sounds like you are getting a better deal than me. (except for the APR) The 17,350 (OTD) was a plain Value edition. It didn't have a sunroof or spoiler, but it did have a cd, leather wrapped steering wheel, 17" alloys. It was also a manual transmission. Does yours have a 2.0...

Thanks for your input. I ask for a break down. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks. I'm in S.Florida. This one is the Touring Value Edition. It has 17" alloys, lether wrapped steering wheel, power, cd, etc. The sticker is in the mid 17's. I thought that the OTD price at $17,350 was a decent deal. Maybe I could get it for less. Can anyone chime in on the 2.0...

Thanks. This is the out the door price though. Did you brother get his for $16,500 otd? Also, is he happy with the car? Thanks again

Hi guys. I have a quote on a new 2008 Mazda 3 value edition for $17,350 (OTD) with 3.9% for 60 months. It's a manual transmission, 2.0 engine. Is this a decent car and price? I'm not looking to race or anything, but would like a car that could move out of the way if need be. Any opinions or...
