[Got-6]

First of i am glad i found this site, and would like to say hello to everyone.
Second, I am in the market to buy a car and can't decide if I should get the MAzda 3 oe MaZda 6. But i do know that I will ZOOM-ZOOM in something!!!!
I need to know like what people's monthly payments are like??? my budget is between $250-350.00 and also how is the navigation system for those that Have it??? Which is a better car in handling, performance(M6), the feel for the driver. I have some 17's 5zigen that I purchased for the old car but never had chance to put them on, so will 17's be too small for M6???? or will 17's be perfect fo M3??? I am not a ricer, but would like to be confident while i drive in apperance and performance!!!! which car has more available in aftermarket industry??? and for those in the chicagoland area, which dealership would be good to purchase the car from??? Any or ALL opinions/facts that i missed can also be answered!!!

Thanks before hand!!! (thumb)

Whats your credit like?
You should be able to make some basic calcualtions for what your payments will be. For only $350/month I assume your either putting alot down or thinking of a mazda 6i. I would think the Mazda 6 would be more expensive but I haven't run the numbers yet.

For the options you are looking for, I think the Mazda 3 will give you a better bang for the buck based on your price range.

Happy shopping and welcome to the site

My credit is Great and for the down payment probably put down about $3,000, not anything more than that!!!

Ok ran some numbers, for a $22K car with $3000 down and at 4.9% you will be pating $355/month. For that money you can get a mazda 3 5 door with navigation, ABS brake, Xenon head lights, 6 disc CD-changer, leather and moon roof.

I can't even find nav as an option for the 6s

yea i read in the my other posts that they don't even make Navigation for the 6 in the states yet, and yea i ran those numbers as well, and 3 sounds more in the budget!!! Thanks

A 6i hould make the budget but the 3 will ofcoarse allow you to rack up more options for the same price.
