Kansas Mazda Car Dealers

Re: Can't get a good price for Mazda 3 s 5-door auto [frizell] by idol767 on Sun Jun 01 10:02:59 PDT 2008

I bought a Mazda 3s Hatch (2008.5 Touring, Auto) earlier this month in Wichita Ks. In this area, the Mazda 3 is pretty popular, so we aren't getting the $500 to $1000 below invoice prices that others are getting. My car had a sticker price of $20,125 (it has no options above the Touring package). I ended up getting it for $19,100, which was $100 over invoice, plus $199 Fee, plus sales taxes. I could have got it for $100 less if I wanted to drive to Oklahoma City to pick it up from a dealer there, but it wasn't worth it. I think I could have done a little better if had waited until the end of the month, but i got the exact car I wanted. I think I got a decent deal.

2003 MPV LX by steppwolf on Mon Oct 20 08:52:02 PDT 2003

Purchased '03 LX at Sunflower Mazda in Lenexa, KS on 10/18. All seasons pkg, wheel locks, roof rack, moonroof . . . sticker $26,045. Discounts and rebate brought down to $21,328 before taxes. I'd been driving a '91 Toyota Previa (original owner). That was a very serviceable vehicle and still has some life in it. Buying decision included test drives of Odyssey and Sienna, as well as some SUV's. MPV seemd the best fit for my situation (overall family utility + economy + reliability + price), and I found the driving position/seat comfort to be the best of the lot for me. The MPV's handling is a bonus in the equation. Hope this vehicle turns out to be as sound a long-term investment as the Previa was.
