If it's a loyalty bonus and Mazda doesn't suck as bad as my car then the $500 loyalty bonus should be there no matter when you buy...it's a loyalty bonus to keep you coming back...wtf?
Post a link here when you get that rodent damage thread up! I wanna see that s***.
No, they change a policy on those all the time. I think there was a 1 grand loyalty bonus on MS3 some time last year, then it went down to $500. And then they removed it all together on MS3 in the beginning of this month. They only loyalty bonus they have left is 1 grand on Mazda 6. I'm hoping MS3 bonus comes back in the beginning of March though, as they seem to re-evaluate their incentives in the beginning of each month.
If you go to a dealer and press for this bonus they'll probably give "it" to you, but it will be $500 that they would have given to you anyway if you haggled enough.
