Lowest MS6 price

[VermZ06]

Hey all,
just wondering if anyone has recently purchased a new MS6. I've been getting these letters in the mail from mazda telling me they're selling all of their '06 models at invoice. I believe the invoice for a sport MS6 is around $25,800, and if you're good at negotiating you might be able to get that down even more because of holdback. There's also $1,000 factory rebate ontop of that. I want to know how low someone has recently purchased the ms6 at, and if they were able to purchase it under 25 grand with the year end incentives? THanks!

I haven't bought one, but have been looking. I know there is a dealership near me advertising a Sport with almost no options that stickers for $28,7-- for $5000 off of sticker, so its at $23,770.

The ad is in the Chicago Tribune.

Hope that helps.

BTW The price another dealer gave me so far for a grand touring with winter mats, sunroof, nav, and auto dimming mirror in white is $31,700. I am planning on bringing this ad and seeing if they can do more.

$23,770 is a great price for that car. The dealer in my area still has 10 MS6's on the lot. I think I'm going to wait until the 2007 6's come in, that way they might be willing to move the car even more. Thanks for the post. Do you think mazda will increase their factory rebate for this car after August 31st? Usually car manufacturers modify their incentives every month, but mazda won't be doing it until September 1st.

BTW that autobarn dealer has a great selection. They've got every color, plus 33 in their inventory! You should be able to get a great deal on one of those. The whitewater pearl on the MS6 makes me weak in the knees.

As far as I know there isn't going to be a MS6 in 07. They are going to build the MS3 instead. I also forgot to add that they have special finanacing going on too. 0.9% for 36, 1.9% for 48, an 2.9% for 60. If you have a specific color/option combo in mind I personally wouldn't wait to long or else you will have to just take whatever they got.

Btw I think regular black is the best color on it. Howeve I will never own another black car in my life cause it is just to much of a pain to keep clean. Other then that I am on the fence between white or titanium.

For the first time mazda will be selling two mazdaspeed vehicles side by side. The 2007 MS6 and MS3. The reason why they're doing this is because the regular 6 won't be redesigned for another year and the speed versions typically stay around until the redesign or hault of that particular model. The MS6 was only going to be out for one year, but it got delayed and now mazda is taking its time with the brand new 6 which is due for 2008.

imagine how many leftovers they'll have after the additional model year.. ::drools::

There's going to be plenty of leftover 2006's and the 2007's are due out very soon. The mazda place near my area is just about out of all their 3's, however, there's still a plethora of 6's and MS6's on the lot. Once the 07's hit the market we'll have the negotiating advantage with the 06's.

all you have to do is go to edmunds and pull up an invoice. the dealer's invoice will be a few hundred dollars more (due to advertising...it varies by car and region)...and offer them $200 over invoice. they'd be retarded not to take it. and don't try to get into a dealer's holdback. a good salesman will take your ass to school. it's there for a reason...not for negotiation.

I guess we'll see how much they "fudge" their invoice price. Holdback price is usually 2-3 percent of the invoice price, and even if the dealer sink a percentage or two into that they're still going to be making a couple hundered bucks, plus the car manufacturer rewards them for selling a certain amount of cars per month.

If I end up doing this I'm not going till the end of august or even september because these things are not moving at all even with the current incentives. I remember at one pontiac dealer there was a brand new 2004 GTO that still hadn't been sold last summer, and the markdown was $23,000. That dealer didn't make a penny on that car, they just needed to move the thing.

I would offer them 2000 less than invoice. My dealer has 50 of them on the lot, they just need to get rid of them before they are scrap metal.

it depends on what programs are out there. at the dealer i'm at, we have an objective of 26 f-series and rangers to meet by the end of august. one we've met 50%, they pay us $500/truck and at 100% they pay us $1000/truck. once we've sold 27, they'll pay $1000 retro to 50%. now, how realistic is the goal? it isn't. we're a small store and no one has looked at a truck in 3 months...and i promise you, larger stores are in the same boat we are...but their objectives are going to be MUCH higher...and this is on f-series and rangers ONLY. no other car-line has a program like this. so, does a manufacturer reward us for selling a certain amount of cars/month? yes and no. this is the first time this year we've had a program like this...otherwise all we get is a pat on the back. do some research before you make a statement like that (that sounded like i'm trying to be an ass...sorry...trust me, i'm not).

where does this math come from? hell, they can sell them to other dealers for more than that. the LEAST dealers will sell to each other is (in the case of a MS6) is roughly 800 less than invoice...and that probably won't happen until jan-mar of '07. dealers aren't THAT desperate to sell you a car. people should be more realistic. if you spent $26K to put something in your yard and someone offered you $24K, would YOU take it?

just my .02

you also have to remember that a lot of dealers offer selling their autos at invoice, but many never tell you about factory rebates. you'd be surprised how many people when they go to buy a car don't even know about factory rebates with these things.

The dealer doesn't take the $2500 rebate hit on the car, it's the manufacturer that does. That's how you can purchase a car at an invoice price...let's say $25,800 is the invoice for a sport MS6, minus the $2500 rebate which is given from the manufacturer to the dealer. The dealer still makes some cash on their most likely scewed invoice price + $2500 from mazda and possibly whatever holdback there is. Still not a bad deal at all for the dealer if you ask me.

I just bought a red MS6 Sport today (8-31-06) for $200 over invoice (I don't mind the dealer making a little money), or $26,900 (my car has $400 in options). After $2500 Mazda rebate, $1000 Mazda American Credit cash, a $1000 Minnesota State Fair pricing cash offer, and a $200 Luther dealership loyalty discount for which I qualified, I paid about $22,200 for a new MS6. What an amazing car for the money!

Dealers get cars Whole sale, because they get them in bulk numbers....That's a price Way below invoice i'll tell you....So in that instance I smell BS from Topher. Then again he is a Dealer so...

I got my MS6 sport with Sirrius sat radio and wheel locks for 21,900 with little or no negotiation!

dealers get USED cars at wholesale...new cars at invoice. dealers do have "holdback." all of the cars on MOST lots are financed...that's there to cover the finance charges while they are on the lot. once they're sold, we get the difference back.

...and i'm not here to BS anyone...i'll be completely honest with everyone here...i have no reason not to. what can i gain by lying to people on the forum? this is forum is a family to me. i'll do anything i can to help out anyone here...and the people that have met me will tell you the same. if you're going to say i'm "bs'ing," do your research. i think i'd know a little bit more about my job than you do.

 

[stdntDrvr]

...and for what it's worth, we just sold a car to a customer at invoice minus the holdback. mainly to earn their business and help let people know we're here...and it was an odd unit that we normally wouldn't stock.

Well I finally test drove the MS6 the other day. I've got to say that it was a solid car and had a COMPLETELY different feel than the msp. I liked the car, especially the gearbox. (felt very european) The push down into reverse reminded me of my old gti. I liked it. The shifts were very direct and the clutch wasn't as touchy as the reviewers made it out to be. Other than that I can say that the 2.3 turbo is extremely smooth. I felt like it was more like a 6 or even 8 cylinder. The car pulled great, however, felt no quicker than my msp Maybe the car is quicker in reality, but I didn't feel that push back into the seat I was expecting. The dealer could've also not put the 93 octane in the car....not sure. My other issue with the car is that I couldn't hear the turbo, or the revs very well. I didn't like having to look at the tach constantly to know when to shift. Plus you can really feel this car's weight in the turns, especailly the back end...I kept thinking about how the msp flies through the corners and you completely forget the thing even has a rear. So in conclusion this car is VERY BMW/AUdi, which is not a bad thing at all. But I just won't be able to lose the msp for it. Maybe in another 8 years this type of car will be for me...but for now I'm going to wait for the MS3 even though there are so many great rebates on the MS6 right now.
