How much did you pay for your 3 ???

[Euro3]

I don't know if you guys have a thread like this or not....
If it's a repost - - - sorry...

I went to check the 3's out yesterday & I like 'em but my wife doesn't...
I think I'll be able to convince her if we get the fully loaded one...(which they didn't have in stock)
They didn't even have one with leather, so I'll have to check other dealerships this weekend.

Now, I'm trying to see what are the differences in prices...

Please post your model, options, & final price...(((how much to actually drive it off the lot)))...

Thanks,
Sam

well I paid about 18900 after (6.5%) taxes and licensing for a 2004 Mazda3 S 5 door with Moonroof and 6cd package automatic, so I think it was around 17700 for it pre tax, sticker was 19200. I had the S-plan (xplan or something) from where I work

$14800 for my 3i 5-door...

I'm a newbie here and just purchased 3i 4-dr, 5-speed, AC, single CD, 15-inch wheels and without power lock and window option. Since I'll be upgrading the wheels and springs anyways, I didn't want to pay $1800 more for power&alloy wheel package.

cheers

$22,100, Mazda 3s, auto, xenon package, leather, nav, sport package, moonroof/6 cd package, abs package, wheel locks, all weather floor mats, compass, mirror w/ homelink, and rear wing spoiler. I think that's about 150 over invoice. You should try looking at edmunds.com to help you with the auto prices too.

I got my 3s in Portland, Oregon. Got the moonroof and changer option and stuck with the manual transmission. Sticker was 18,300. I paid 16,300.

Just to all the people in Canada especially in the Toronto/GTA region, when I priced the Mazda 3 GT with automatic and GFX package, the price came out to $23540. What would be a reasonable discount? Is 7.5% or more off the vehicle price reasonable?

So nobody's been having a problem negotiating below sticker? The dealer I talked to say these cars are so popular that any reasonably-loaded vehicle doesn't stay on the lot for long. I was thinking that I would have to negotiate to $700 under sticker (that's what Edmunds says), but these prices mentioned indicate that you might be able to dicker off more.

I would just get quotes from at least 3 dealers' internet depts and use them against each other to get the best quote. I did that and I ended up with a great price. The edmunds price can be higher, but its what people in your area are paying. I would say that price is the absolute highest I would go. I usually start negotiating at 200 over invoice then go up to the TMV at the absolute highest.

if they give u a hard time about dropping 700$ off the sticker i'd walk right out. most dealers ive dealt with 500$ seems to be the starting point at what they take off. but that is just a starting point, i generally do what the guy above does, or similar. i find several dealers in the area that have the car i want, and just go from one to the other getting the llowest price, so if one place says 17,000 i'll go to the next dealer and tell them they have to beat it, then i go to the next dealer and give them the lowest price, until they won't go any lower. this usually works rather well. takes a bit of time. i'll generally get preapproval at the first place that way i can walk into the store confident that i'm pre approved.

Well, I found the car I wanted. Problem was that it was the only one like it in the entire area. The MSRP for the 3i 5-speed with A/C, Power Pkg & 16" alloys, Moonroof/CD changer, and the SAB/ABS package was about $18140. Dealer first offered $17950 before I countered with Edmunds' TMV value of $17779. Came to $19150 with tax and tags. Salesman went to manager and came back with the new price. We pick the car up tonight.

Mazda 3 Sport GT 5 speed with Air $22,400
You are not going to get much of a discount... not much mark-up on these...
I basically just got free air ($1000)

Who cares how much we paid for our cars? The important thing is that we have it and we love it!

 

[Krunko]

Hate to thread jack but I currently have a msp and wife has a p5, was thinking of trading the p5 to het her a 3s. But I want it fully loaded with everything. Those of you with 6cd, moonroof, leather, navigation, xenon, and tire pressure do you think all the toys were worth it??? Is the leather good quality are the tire pressure and nav systems nice have you had anyproblems with them????

Again sorry to thread jack.....

Please try not to laugh too hard, but I wanted a 3s so bad that I took the hit. My only true concern was that the 3 be a 4 door s with 5 speed manual transmission. Of secondary import was the pkgs and opts. Well, the 2 dealerships in my area had between them 6 3i and 4 3s units. Well, my selection became even smaller at that point, as only 1 s had a 5 speed. This 3s had no pkgs and only 1 "true" option-rear spoiler- and tinted windows. Now here comes the really sad state of MY affairs - The dealership was reasonable in their pricing of the spoiler and the tint, but the "ADJUSTMENT FOR MARKET VALUE" charge of 2,000.00 above MSRP really made me want to cry as I was signing the paperwork. For those who are not aware of bthis "charge," it is what the dealer adds to the cost of the car because the car is popular and people will pay extra (like I did) to own a high demand/low supply vehicle.

If I had ABS, 6 disc CD changer, 17inch wheels, tire pressure monitor, and even an illuminated rearview on my 3s right now I wouldn't care about the 2k.

This is my first Mazda. I traded a 2002 Civic LX w/30k and flawless interior/exterior and (best part of the deal!!!) no balance left. The dealer gave me 10100.00 for the trade which brought the monthly to 171.00.

Somebody please humor me and tell me how much I am going to love this car-- Please?!

Cheers
