Moonroof, Leather, Automatic add 2,887 to the total, making the quote 24,400.
How's that sound?
I have another quote for a sedan version that was minus the leather. I'd approximate the cost difference at 1,750 or so, wich iwould make the quote on that 22,809 (I'm actually assuming the 1k finance in there, since I think I chose that box).
A 3rd dealer is supposedly offering "double" rebates - I plan to call over the phone for a quote on these options today.
On a side note is it really possible for a dealer to double the rebate (in this case to 3k) or is that really just going to come off the back end? i.e. is it possible that a high-volume dealer can make this kind of deal, when other dealers can't.

I am trying to do everything via the web. I don't want to go into the shop until I am ready and have already, in essence, closed a deal via email. Any dealer who can't understand that (like, for example, Manhattan Mazda) won't get my business. I am happy to talk over the phone with folks, but I put my requests in plain English when I contacted them via the web.
Back to pricing...I am always wary of dealers, so ask for (demand if you have to) the out the door price, including tax, title, registration, docs fees, and anything else (lease factors and residual if leasing) you can get. I am looking in North/Central Jersey as well, but I put out my request to all dealers in Jersey. I've only heard back from Southern Jersey dealers so far. Which dealers have you heard from in North/Central?
Don't forget the current incentives are 2500 off - 1k through Mazda Finance, 1500 deal cash.
One place with destination 23,400. The other 23,450 (I think this has wheelocks which may be the only difference).
The 2nd one in question apparently is on the showroom floor, actually. Any worries about picking the car that's been poked and prodded? Gotta figure it has less miles than anything on the lot, but should I be considered if that is in fact the one that I get?

I thought there was $1500 in marketing support? Anyone have thoughts? I think the dealer is sitting on at least $500.
If I were you, I'd wait till after the 4th. GM is talking like they're going to extend their employee pricing, and Chrysler is hinting that they'll offer the same. That, in addition to it being the end of the model year and 6 wagons not being a hot seller, leads me to believe that you'll see better incentives in the near future.
Someone asked about the free 5 year/100 k powertrain warranty. According to Mazda's ad in the local paper today, it looks like Mazda gives you that warranty on any 6. Course, that might only be a regional incentive.
For Dealneeder, I got it from Maxon in Union Twp, I found the internet department very helpful in getting such a good deal so if you're still lookin' I'd check 'em out.

I heard that the 2006 models will be on the lot in Sep/Oct, but who really knows?! My local dealer already has Mazda5 on display, and those weren't supposed to be out till Aug/Sep?!
But get a load of this pricing... the sedan I drove (6s Sport, 5 speed, moonroof/bose, leather) had an MSRP of $26485, but they had a $1495 bump sticker... and then the "employee pricing" yellow tag showing $24147. I was told that included the $2000 factory rebate, and was "the best deal, bar none" because they were "not making any money at these prices, except for the doc fee, and only 30% of that is actually profit."
Hard to believe that with S-plan, I wouldn't even be able to get out the door for MSRP-rebate, and the dealer still whines he isn't making any money. I don't want a 6 that badly, or even bad enough to search for one now. And of course, I'll get to hear this dealer's commercials here in eastern NC, where a guy that sounds like Ross Perot or Mr. Hainey from Green Acres (depends on who you ask) tells us "If it has our name on it, you have our worrrrrrrd on it!"
v6 Manual with leather/auto dim mirror/bose/all the airbags.... etc... 22K even.
Holiday Mazda in Fond du lac WI.
I can't say enough of how easy they were to deal with after the bad experience...Sales guy and finance officer were extremely nice. No games. Well worth the extra trip.
The car is very nice IMO.
That's service. Nice dealership.
I took it for a 14 mile test drive before buying it (the dealer was OK with this once he knew I was serious). Only have driven it one day since I picked it up, so far so good! Try to get a "fully loaded" 4 door sedan with all of the airbags for $17K from another vendor ... good luck. For 2005 the other choice I considered was a near-base model Accord (20K). For 2006 the new Sonata will be 18K - 19K. What did I overlook? To get airbags from most vendors, you are into the upper trim lines, or not offered at all. Even if offered in the base model, the domestic mfgs don't seem to have any on the lot (the dealers seem not to order it that way).
'17 Chevy Volt Premiere
Wouldn't hurt to give them a call or check their inventory online.
They had some big discounts on 6 wagons and sedans last month. I'm not sure about hatchbacks. Even when factoring in the rebate, we got our wagon for well below invoice with little haggling. Best of luck.
Have you tried getting quotes via the internet? I did the "walk in" at a large dealer and did a test drive but couldn't get near the deal I did getting quotes from dealers here through the Edmunds site. Some (if not most) dealers have a dedicated internet department. Essentially, they realize internet shoppers have done all the homework on invoice prices as well as the actual prices people are paying (by checking sites like carsdirect.com - which currently lists the price at $23,534 with the options like mine - I still think better is possible like the deal I got). Essentially they know 2 things: an internet shopper is more likely to buy and that they know the best deal they can get - it really cuts out the games and b/s if you ask me. I would at least give the on-line quote hunting a shot. If you want a larger variety dealers, pick another area that's out of range of the first list of dealers and check with them too.
I assume the $23k quote you got was before tax and tags? Guestimating 6% tax for lack of a guide, that puts the out the door price probably around $24.5 or so. Dunno if you can do better in TX, but I think you might be able to.
Hope this helps.

I'm not certain how we got such a good deal on our wagon. Maybe because it was the end of a slow month at the end of the model year for a low-demand vehicle. We were actually about to buy an Outback, but the 6 wagon ended up a good bit less with a more powerful engine, more features (like leather instead of cloth seats), and a better warranty.
The lease is for 47 months, at $189/month, with a $2900 down payment. This comes to a total payment of $8883 + 2900. The final payment to buy at the end is a bit high at $7385.
The car has automatic transmission, side airbags, power everything, keyless, ABS, cruise control, etc. The deal is better than the one listed on the Mazdausa site. I know the '06 is coming out, so I'd expect a reduced price, but this seems like a fantastic offer. You can also buy it for $16,499, which includes $2000 customer cash rebate and $1000 MAC Finance rebate. MSRP is $19,154.

Price I got was $6250 off MSRP off any car on the lot plus $500 Gerber rebate. $20930 plus tax and $100 doc fee. Title another $25. MSRP=$27,680. My 6s has the V6, 6 Speed Auto, Leather, and Bose Package. I added the Autodimming Compass with Homelink.
The place is Kings Automall at I-71. They are trying to make the numbers by this Sunday so give them a call or the internet. I also notice their cars has no "stupid" options like wheels locks and cargo nets most dealer put in them to jack up sticker prices, If you want options then pay for them in the deal. They also have no dealer stickers or badges on their cars also.
I also had my 1st problem. I found a peice of dry tree sap or bird dropping on the car after paying for it and drove off. Half hour later, back to the dealer. The plastic peice where you can get a optional chrome finiher that surround the keyhole on the trunk had a 2 inch long "bubble" and the paint came off. The paint on this plastic is extremely thin since Mazda thinks most people will scatch it anyway so when picking out a car make sure there are nothing there. Dealer service immediately declared it a Mazda fault and will have that fix on Monday. So I will have to drive back home and bring the car back 150 miles each way. But well worth it with the deal and the service I got from them.
A word of advice. Most people think they can get a lower price and yes it is possible to do so. But When I got the 2004 at $6000 off MSRP without dickering with the dealers, there was only one color left(silver). So if you want a specific color or option, it doesn't hurt to pay a little more. And make sure to see the color of the car before paying for it.
My advice when shopping Mazdas is to find a dealership in your area (or in a neighboring state) that has no-haggle pricing (I went to Polar Chevrolet Mazda in Minnesota). I took their best price and then called around to local dealerships and asked them to beat it. Explain to them why simply matching a previous offer won't cut it--they have to beat it. I told them that Polar had spent time showing me the car and for that reason they would have to beat Polar's price by at least $200 to win my business. The beat it by exactly $200.
As for the previous commentor's questions on the Gerber coupon, I have no idea who the offer was intended for, but I signed up on the website and received it by email 3 days later. The coupon requires you to present the dealership with both the coupon AND the original offer. I didn't have the original offer, but I think most dealerships will still accept the coupon if it means they can sell you a car. Search through this forum topic and you should find an html link to sing up for a Gerber coupon.
This forum helped me with my shopping experiences. I hope my post will help others.
She could have made some money with my original $8000 loan but nooo, she had be a black widow who tried to suck money outta my pocket.
However, have you considered that for only $200 you have penalized Polar with a lost sale? If you appreciate a dealership that makes car buying simple and easy, then support it by purchasing there.This is why there are so few no-haggle pricing dealerships.It's hard to stay in business because everyone shops their price.
#1--Could anyone please explain the process of obtaining a Gerber rebate?
#2--Does anyone have any price expereince with the Mazda6 s Sports Sedan with the bose/moonroof package?
Thanks for your patience.
(Mazda6 Sport S with Bose & Moonroof was 21,249 without the gerber rebate, I didn't know how to get that)
