Need help buying a new P5

i'm the victim of Schaumburg mazda....
in 2001 I paid 23K with tax and extended warranty + 4.9% APR even though I had no credit.
but it doesn't matter, I love my p5 anyway.
$23K = :bs:

4.9% with no credit = very good

just make sure that you pay off the p5 before you get rid of it (not that you are planning on getting rid of it), that way you dont get ***** when you go to buy your next car

I should of never bought extended warranty...it's not even mazda one, it's the warranty provided by chrysler($1500) lol(argh)
since, it was my first time buying the car, I didn't know how to negotiate and stuff......stupid me :)
yeah!!! I love my p5. (wiggle)
 
Actually I got a current deal going for the same car except in Red for about $16.5 based on these figures:
$19k (invoice) +$1.7k (TTL) - $2.5k (rebates) - $.5k (auto show bonus) -$.5k (student grad) -$1k (manufacturerer to dealer incentive) = $16.2k + $100 (his profit) = $16.3k

I can tell him to go screw himself and his profit and take it for $16.2k, but how do I get it lower then that?
 
Sticker is $20.2k it includes the following options:

auto
leather
abs / side airbags
moonroof / 6 disc changer
roofrack
polished wheels

I was looking around some places do quote the invoice at $18.7k

So I should be looking at $15.9k, right? Or am I still too high.
 
I might be able to help.

Hello, I saw you were intrested in buying a P5. I think I might be able to add some assistance. I work for a Mazda, a Rosen Mazda. If you tell me what you would like I can see if I can match anything up.

This is what I have at my Lake Villa Location ( I only have a few vehicles left)

Auto
1. White; w/moonroof , 6-cd package, bumper guard, cloth (as you should know they have the sport manual added to the p5 autos) OTD - 15,570.69

2. Black; Polished 16"alloys, Moonroof & 6 cd. OTD - 14,159.57

Manual
1. Black 16"alloys, leather, moonroof & 6cd, abs and side air bag, roof rack OTD - 15,853.99

2. Black 16" Alloy , Leather, Moonroof & 6cd. OTD - 15,196.88

If any of those are something your looking for let me know. I do have more at another location but you would have to give me more specifics on what your looking to get and for how much. Those prices are invoice, bottom line. No chance of going under. If you have any questions email me at Redeyes13@aol.com or you can call me 847-514-0656 (This is my cell, My name is George). Again Im not a salesmen, I work in the service drive but I know they are trying to push cars out and my best friend who is a salesmen helped me with the actual prices. Let me know as soon as Possible.

THAT is a pretty damn good price......exact options I have, but I have polished alloys...

$15.5 OTD would be sweeter :D...
 
Hey, have I ever run into you at Rosen? I'm in there all the time buying stuff from Terry :D In fact I'm coming in tomorrow! I have a yellow P5.

rosen mazda in lake villa is cool, i even have it on my speed dial in my cell. i drive all the way there when i need stuff because the one in waukegan sucks dick.
 
i bought my p5 at the waukegan rosen, but i go to lake villa all the time for other stuff as well.
 
I'm going in on Tuesday to get the yellow Protege 5 with the following options:

auto
leather
moonroof / cd changer
abs / sideairbags
roof rack
polished wheels

I'll be paying $16 OTD from what the salesman says. And I plan on walking out if he tries for a single penny extra.

Make me an offer I can't refuse. :D, but first, what are the specs?
2003.5 Vivid Yellow
"Sporttronic" Transmission
Leather
ABS/Side Airbags
Moonroof/6CD
Polished Alloys
Roof Rack (removed at the moment)

Just hit 12,500 miles. Asking $13,000. And I think shipping to the east coast shouldn't cost more than $500.
 
Sorry I can't buy a car I didn't see unless it's from a dealer, even though it is EXACTLY the car I wanted. Damn why couldn't u live in Chicago? You should move it's realllly nice here. :)
 
Update (not a good one though) (wow) :

2003 Yellow Protege 5
auto
leather
moonroof/ 6 cd changer
abs / side airbags
roofrack
polished wheels
cargo net
$19,126 (invoice)
-1000 (manf. to dealer incentive)
+100 (profit)
=$18,226 (before TTL)
+$1636 (TTL and all the other fees)
=$19,862
-$2500 (incentive)
=$17,362

Now the issue is that I don't qualify for the recent grad ( I graduate next year), but even if I did it would still leave the price at $16,862. The guy is willing to go down to $16,690 if I qualified for the grad rebate $500 extra if I don't ($17,190).

Update #2:

The dealer is in Indianapolis, IN. I contacted him directly instead of going through a dealer trade, and the supposed final he's going for is $16,690. I told him $16.5k and ended the conversation.

Oh yeah, and the college grad works for students that are going to graduate within two years so I DO qualify. Thank you education, finally paying off (bowdown).

Also I got a plane ticket with a friend to go their tomorrow. I'm buying it at $16,690 even if he never calls back for the $16.5k offer. Plane ticket was free cause my friend works at the airport. It pays to have friends in high places or at airports or any where else that'll actually help, (uhm) . I talked to George (RedEyes13) while he was at the Rosen Mazda dealership and he confirmed for the options that I'm getting $16.7k is about what I should be paying. Thanks for the info George, I owe you one (drinks) .

I'll post up tomorrow after I get the new P5.
