1. Welcome to the board
2. The Mazda3 is sweet, so congratulations!

ok..now the questions.

1. Why a 05 model?
2. What would you do if it's NOT a good deal? (flash)

I think your price is fine. Everyone says that they could get a great deal for their uncle/brother/friend/dealership. You didn't pay the sticker price and it's the 05 model so I don't know where this automatic GT for under 24K exists. Hello? GT and auto? with tax?

Totally agree Jay3. Your price is just fine. Forget about getting good deals for a Mazda 3. You can get accesories for free and oil changes. One dealer even told me that "you dont negotiate the price of a 3" (silly)

I could of got you a loaded GT ATX for that same price or even less. I would never pay that price for what you got. Your paying way too much, I'm sorry.

a gt auto under 23K? where?

1. Why not an 05?? I figured I will atlease get a 1000 more if I want to sell it! (depreciation)
2. Not a good deal? Oh well can't go back now, signed the contract so I hope it's good (flash) lol. Btw I shopped around a lot in T.O and got the
"We won't even discount a penny on the 3".

I concur and thanks for makin me feel better! I know theres absolutely NO where in TO (not sure about Montreal) to get the GT for under 24k.

cool.. congrats.. so how much more was the 05 compared to the 04?

i am assuming sedan gs
17.8 + 2.8k in packages/options + 1k pdi ~ 24.8k after tax - 0.6k grad rebate.. so that's 24.2k (as per mazda's site)

so umm.. it looks like 05 still costs the same as 04 no? and you still got some deal.. unless my math is way off

can't wait to get mine!!!

 

[LilMissGS3]

I'm buying the exact same car as you!!!woohoo! LOL......same colour, options etc....good choice

who cares if its a 2005? whats wrong with that??? My 05' will arrive first week of October as well...Nothin wrong with getting an 05' . They said there's only a couple hundred $$ difference in price from an 04 to 05'.

As for price, yeah you got a good price for sure. I'm paying 23, 8xx for mine, but I'm getting a spoiler and having them tint my windows.

I'd say your price is awesome

I didn't finance and got a loan from my bank to make a cash purchse. So I locked in the 04 price for the 05!!

wicked.. this gives me hope - as soon as i can get this job i had an interview for today i'm gonna try to get one (at 04 prices *pls pls pls*)

a gt auto under 23K? where?

I believe it was his. He changed his 3 for a 6 if I'm not mistaken. I've been to almost every dealer around the city back in march, and none of them had that kind of a deal.

I got the GS, power packgage, wheel locks and raised spoiler for 22k before taxes. It was the only left at the time and didn't wanna wait 3 months for a car.

 

[rsx_r04]

I bought a 2005 GT with GFX 5 speed for $26,500 last month. My car'll be here by mid October!

Prices have not increased yet for the '05 models.

And there's no flip-up keys for the '05 models. Nothing has changed except for somme colours.

Basically i paid less than $3,000 more than you and i got ABS, bigger engine, sunroof and more. BTW, mine's 5 speed whereas yours is an auto.

i may go shopping for a 3 soon... dont know yet..

 

[fishmonkey01]

hey everyone i just signed up for a membership for this forum. i bought my 3 back in march. just wanted to say hey.

 

[mazdaspeedpower]

lucky bastard, getting urs early. My mom ordered hers a week or so ago, and it's not coming in till the last week of October

 

[black03mazda]

The 3 remained the same for 05'. it is true that u cant deal on a 3 because the dealerships dont make any money off of the 3. They make more money off of the RX-8's.



COngratulations and enjoy your new 3.

hey guys,
was just browsing cuz i bought my Mazda3 this weekend.
and the whole 'we don't negotiate on the 3' is a load of crap, you just have to know how to talk to them and make sure you do your research first before you go in.

I got the Winning Blue Mica, Mazda3 GT sedan with GFX package, tinted windows, Mazda rubber floor mats, and all taxes (Freight, PDI, tire, a/c) all for $24,300 (note: i used my $500 grad rebate, so it would have been $24,800) and it would have come to over $26,300 if i had not negotiated. i would assume that the only difference between alberta and the east coast would be the PST and the freight since they have to ship it much further from the vancouver port.

one thing i did first was talk to people to find the best dealership in town, and go to them last. this way you can pick up some info that you can use to negotiate (ie. what inventory is and where the cars are, delivery dates, and try to get a quote so this way you know that you can go lower than what they say.) also, i went to a website called carcostcanada.com and it gives you the dealer cost of the car compared to the msrp, so you know what the mark up is and how much you can deal.

that's my input. i guess it does all depend on market demand too, but my car is the only one in it's color coming in to town in the next 2 months and i still saved my self $1500. i guess it's a good sign when a dealer says he wants you to come with him next time he buys a house

Totally agree Jay3. Your price is just fine. Forget about getting good deals for a Mazda 3. You can get accesories for free and oil changes. One dealer even told me that "you dont negotiate the price of a 3" (silly)
