I'm looking to get an 09 ms3 sport.. Salesman said he would give it to me for 20,258.61 otd after I traded in my 01 protege es with 78,xxx miles. Initially he was going to give me 3k for my protege but he bumped it up to 4k. Does that sound like a good deal or should I hold off?

Try to seperate the price of the car and the trade in. Then you'll know exactly what your getting and what your paying. What is the kbb on the protege?
Yeah it's a 2009 and I'm going to be on it next weekend ideally. With that kind of reaction I wish I could head over there now.
KBB is actually under 4k.. So I guess otd without the trade in would be around 24k.. I doesn't sound like a bad deal but yea never know..
Is dealer invoice subjective to dealership/location, or is it a universal figure?
As posted earlier, I was offered dealer "invoice" on an MS3. He showed me a sheet of paper and noted where it was listed. However, on Vehix.com, it says the invoice price on an '09 MS3 GT is $22,885 ( > $1k less than I was offered)

I'll give you my CWP 08.5, 20K, and you can keep your protege
I got my 08.5 sport for $22.5k (June 08), and then my 08.5 GT for $23.3k (sept 08) which is $300 below invoice. I would not pay more then $22.5k for a 09 sport.
With the bad economy plus the fact that this is not car buying season, they should have a fluffer ride shotgun withyou while you go for a test drive.
Do what I did. I went and spent 3 hours with the sales guy. He let me take the car and go get lunch. Came back talked some deals/... and told him I had to go check another dealer first. Came back 2 days later, did the same thing. The third time I was about to leave he got smart, and made me the offer I wanted. His words to me were "I can't let you leave again, if you do there is a chance you might by the car from someone else, and I can't let that happen." I made it clear that there was no question I was going to buy a MS3, and that I was goign to buy one withing a week. The question was who would give me the price I wanted. He stepped up and won my biz.
Sales people work you over.... I return the favor.

So do you have two? or did you trade a sport in for the gt? or did the sport get wrecked?
Get the GT...its well worth the extra price...
Um ... it may or may not have drowned. Possible opperator error in an attempt to rescue it from a "flash flood".
I happen to know however it has been purchased and is being given new life!
i believe the base invoice figure is universal. websites like edmunds.com also tell you the destination fee. when i bought mine here in southern cal, the dealer showed me the invoice which also included a special "los angeles assessment", which was around $200.
so, the only variable item is the special assessment for each region of the country, but it should be a very reasonable amount like $200. i've bought over a dozen new cars in my life, and this is the first time i've seen a special assessment on top of the invoice price. either that or the dealer showed me a fake invoice

I bought a 2008 MS3 sport 3 weeks ago for 19,500 (this included $500 mazda loyalty bonus they were offering at the time, it's gone now). This is over 1k under invoice. I found a dealer near me in Buffalo, NY and also one in Austin, NY that were offering the same price- roughly 20 k for a brand new '08 MS3 sport. I can PM you this info if you'd like. They both STILL have a number of '08's in their inventory and would love to unload them.
The price was simply amazing. I traded in my '03 P5 for the MS3 and love it. The hardest thing is driving calmly during the break in period. Now I just saw that the '10 MS3 is coming out and wonder if I made a huge mistake should have waited another year. oh well.
Btw- DON'T BUY THE OTHER SILVER '08 MS3 in BUFFALO. it had extensive rodent damage and I had to return it 5 days after purchase. yes. rodent damage. Long, painful story. I should post all about it on here (I have pictures).

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***.
