I am basically seeing 23-25% off MSRP and an additional $1000 for current Mazda Owners. Anyone heard anything on December incentives?

Need information on Mazda 6i sport lease

by flyerguy1 on Mon Dec 01 09:33:34 PST 2008

All, I am planning on leasing a 2009 mazda 6i sport with auto transmission. I understand the MSRP inc destination is $21920 I believe the November program numbers for a 36 month lease with 10k miles a year are 49% and .00044 for the iSport I got a "best" offer of $1700 total out of pocket (inc TTDMV and first month) and $258 a month. Question: Are my assumptions correct? Does this look like a good deal? I feel like it should be a little lower and that there are some aquisition or other fees included. Finally, I live in NY and am transfering my registration from my old car. The dealer wants to charge me a total of $205 to handle registration /title/ inspection/processing fees. This seems high given that it only costs $7.50 to transfer registration. Your thoughts and advice is greatly appreciated.

Is this a good deal?

Thanks in advance for any advice! We received a quote for 20,000 out the door (this includes 6.25% sales tax, 175 fees, 80 license transfer) on a 2008 Mazda 3 s touring, White Pearl Mica, sunroof, and sirius satellite. The car has 50 miles on it. It took 20 minutes to get him down to 20,000 out the door, but we walked hoping he would really want to sell this car and offer a bit lower since it is a 2008 model. Is this a good deal? Or can we find better. We would like to save some money by purchasing a 2008 and am having a hard time finding 2008 in our area. I can get a 2009 w/ almost the same options for about 2000 more. Thanks!

Happy with price but very minor body damage: red flag?

Hi guys-- Northern Washington state -- no awesome FL pricing for us up at the other corner of the country, alas. 2008 i Touring 4dr automatic. ABS/SAB/SAC but no other options. Pretty much exactly to our specifications, except that it's gray, and I love the Phantom Purple. 15,000 miles, clean Carfax report, traded in by single local owner. Sticker price is $14995, my price is $13995 + taxes & fees - my $200 junker trade-in. We haven't purchased this car yet, we will have our mechanic inspect it this week before we finalize the deal. The reason I'm posting is because I want to run a maybe-gotcha in front of you guys. There is some very light body damage on the car -- a 1" wide dimple on the roof of the car above the driver side door, and a 3"-4" long crease near dead center on the roof. Neither piece of damage is very deep, but they are quite noticeable. They seem purely cosmetic to me, but what do I know about body damage? The salesman says that this damage is from a falling tree branch, and they have promised to fix it before we finalize (and they will). My wife and I went over the car carefully and there is no other visible body damage -- no scratches on the windshield or windows, no paint or glass damage from sap, etc, etc. I'm confident my mechanic will catch any major gotchas with this car, but I'm wondering if the lot's repairs might void some part of my factory warranty, since they are not a Mazda dealership or service center. It's been a long haul to find a Mazda3 with the safety features we need at a price we like, but I'm willing to dump this one and move on if there's major red flags around this problem.

luckyforever, Are you in FL?? The dealership that gave him the great internet quote was Ferman Mazda of Brandon. It included the destination charge, but not T,T and L. The St. Pete (Tyrone Mall) dealership matched it (or came in a tad lower) to get the sale, but as I said, they initially claimed a price $2k higher was a "great deal". I don't think you can get these prices with the 0% financing (you will probably have to pick one or the other- the low price or 0% financing. Don't know about what they'd coordinate with the 3.9% financing Mazda also offers on some deals). They first tried to offer a 6.25% financing, but when my son mentioned he could get financing at our credit union up here for 4.75%, they instantly hooked him up with a local FL credit union that offered financing at 4.95% (which was close enough so he went ahead, since it would take a few days to get things coordinated with the credit union up here in a different state). We knew he could easily join our credit union and would be able to get the low interest rate, but it would take a few days and the difference was negligible. We don't know what the Brandon dealership would have offered for the trade-in, so can't determine what they might have done with that. Good luck, and keep us posted!
