So How much did you pay for your MS3?

[aaronc7]

I forget the exact dollar amount....but $300 over invoice.

'08 Sport

Paid Cash $23,134 (OTD)

What options did you get? What is your sales tax rate there?

I wanted just a bare bones MS3. The only option that came on the car was wheel locks. Sales tax here in the county is about 6.5%.

You got a great deal then!

You think so? IDK, some other people here are paying around $22,500 for the sport models. I was hoping to get it at/or a little above invoice since I was paying cash.

I know how it goes though, You're more likely to get a better deal if you finance rather than paying cash because the dealer makes more money through you financing. Oh well, I'm happy with the deal I got.

I disagree. I would say you get a better deal if you pay cash. It is easier for the buyer to negotiate a total price than negotiate payments since there are more sneaky things they can do to payment plans. If your arguing over a single price things are simpler. That's my opinion anyways.(potkettle

I paid cash too, and the best I could get was $24,500 (apprx) out the door...

They aren't selling them more much less than a 300-500 less than MSRP around here.

Woohoo! I've been lurking here for several months ever since I test drove a Speed3. This week I finally started contacting dealers and a few hours ago I put down my deposit. (headbang)

2. $21,700
3. $6700 ($4000 in cash)
4. 5.5%
5. $340 for 48 months

How did I do?

 

[~JoJo~]

oh com'n really?

anyways, just wanted to see if I got a good deal.

I paid 24k cash.

I am loving the car right now and seriously I can not think of one thing I that I need to add to the car, except perhaps a darker tint and a nice wax job.

 

[camrycev6]

You made it sound like you were getting the car for next to nothing in a previous post, so I guessed low. I would say 24K is fair. Not a great deal, but not a bad one either.

 

[~JoJo~]

don't forget I am in Cali though. The day before I bought mine, the cheapest one I found was a 23500 GT, with 15k and no navi. For 500 more, I got a lot more stuff =p

I worked for Mazda at the time:

Speed3 GT Black Mica MSRP 24550 in OCT of 06 invoice less holdback at that point was $22110 add $560 for full custom invisaguard, 1st in the nation according to autotrim design!, and carbon injected 3M tint. 5% WI sales tax and $100 unwaivable prep and service fee. And an overvalued trade at $7700. I set the deal up for myself at my bosses' computer and ordered the car. I even pulled it off the truck when it arrived!!! Wheee!

 

[~JoJo~]

so what's the OTD price?
