No doubt but hopefully not as much as they wanted. It took over a week to come to an agreement with them. They finally called me on New Years Eve about 5:00pm saying that they would agree to my original offer.
At the time I was actually in another Mazda dealer working on a deal when the salesman called me on my cell. I felt bad for the guy I was with but told him a better deal came up and I was going to take it. The car they had was the color I wanted but short on the features.
I guess the end of year tax thing is true? The dealer originally wanted MSRP +1000 for the 3s Sedan and was only going to give 9000 for trade on my P5... Considering the car had just come out and this one was balls loaded, I think I came out pretty decent. My P5 was already upside down on the loan so I didn't want to do it a second time with the 3. It was either retail for retail or I was keeping my car.
