This price includes the price of $100 for CA/NY emission also.

I also had a trade which i got for kbb value of condition " good "
My wife and I just purchased our barnd new 2006 6i Sport 5-Door at Biggers Madza in Elgin,Ill on Monday of this week. Biggers sold us the car at invoice minus $3000.00 in rebate money.
The car is just great fun to drive
Dealership was great to deal with plus our salesman gave me a FREE Hat

I am interested in a MS6 and the dealer has one demo with 9,000 kms (yep, I am in Canada). It is cloth and the MSRP is $36,000 (the one I actually want - base). What do you think the dicounted price should be? Any special approaches I could take to get the best price.
Thanks,
Michael
The power is OK , handling is good. AC is good for me.
I came from mazda3s > The ac was bad in mazda3s but good in mazda6i.
my mazda6i has ATX + SAB
I just recently purchased an Onyx Black Mazda 6 S Grand Sport with automatic transmission, Satellite Radio, Wheel Locks and a 7 year 70,000 mile warranty for $23,600. This included the 2,500 rebate with 500 off for financing through Mazda Credit.
So far, I'm loving the Mazda 6, it's fast and sporty...plus there are not many Black Grand Sports with Black leather interior in my area. This car is definately 1 of a kind and the price I recieved wasn't shabby either (at least in my opinion).
After pricing them on the mazdausa.com site, however, thought I'd never being able to afford one....
So...I went to a local dealership, and test drove the 3's (sedan and hatchback) and they rode rough and felt "tinny" compared to the 6. Still, I asked the sales idiot about getting a hatchback with a sunroof, "We don't have time to locate a car on a busy weekend -- I'll call you Monday or Tuesday", I WALKED OUT. I was SO ANGRY at his attitude, that I went down to the Enterprise lot where I remembered seeing a 2005 6 online. l(My credit union works in tandem with Enterprise and I get some great discounts as a member.) The one I'd seen had JUST been sold, but they couldn't do enough to help me locate the car I wanted. So...I secured a 2005 s, AT, 20k miles, power seats, side airbags, alloy wheels, sunroof, for $17k. Pebble Ash. It's being transferred from another state and will be ready Wednesday.
I also got an incredible extended warranty for three years (as long as I plan to own the car), and believe I'll be very happy.
Thanks
Thanks
Today, they call my husband and say that with the trade, the price will be $17990 OTD. He thought it sounded great. I said wait a minute.
Okay, so here is the breakdown with the trade. We owe $12,200 on the trade and they want to give us $14,800, making a $2600 difference. If I add that $2600 onto the NEW PRICE of $17990 I still come up with $21,550 (a difference of $9). Meanwhile, they are now factoring in the trade, which drops the "selling" price making the tax more than half the amount of before...Right? This actually makes them make more money on the deal.
LMK if my thinking is correct, and they are trying to pull a fast one with the number game.
The payoff doesnt quite work that way....you need to add back in the entire payoff. here is an example assuming a $7500 payoff
selling price 20,000
trade (10000)
--------
cash diff 10,000
sales tax 600
fees 200
payoff 7500
total amount due $18,300
Hope this helps.
Have a deal for the 2004 Mazda 6 s Hatchback with 16k mileage, 6 speed AT, Bose, Alloy wheels, moonroof, power seat, heated seat,leather interior, ABS, Airbag and in excellent condition. KBB price is around $16k to $18k. The guy asks for $17k. I checked a lot websites for used cars and couldnt find a price like this (most of the used mazda 6 2004 i/s models' prices range from $15k to $18k) Hope someone can give me ideas about how this deal is. Should I take? Thanks!
I plan to use the $3000 in rebates as my down payment /GAP cost reduction / etc. Also, does anyone know what the residual value, and base interest are on Mazda 6's these days? I know I've seen quite a few more Mazda 3's on the roads and off the lots recently, and figuring dealerships would want to try and move the Mazda 6's they might have offered a better price per month that I received.
Thank You for any help and advice.
The 2006 Mazda6 has a $2,500 factory rebate and a $500 MAC Bonus(only if financed conventionally through Mazda American Credit). This accounts for the $3,000 you speak of.
OR
The 2006 Mazda6 has a $1,500 MAC Lease/AVP rebate and an additional $500 MAC Lease/AVP Bonus(only if you enter into a Special MAC Lease/AVP). This means you only of receive a total of $2,000 for lease/balloon scenarios.
Always ask questions regarding different programs.
ZOOM ZOOM
The discount comes from $2,000 rebate for consumer, $500 dealer incentive and $500 MAC bonus, if financed through Mazda (you can refinance it if you can get better rate - that's what I'll do). By the way, the rate for me is 8.1%.
The dealership is Faulkner Mazda in Philadelphia. Overall, the experience was very positive. The salesrep was good and clearly knew his stuff. They didn't try to push any rustproofing, paintsealing, striping, or anything like that. I would definitely recommend the place, and especially the sales guy. He was very upfront with everything.
We also checked out Nissan (Altima and Maxima), Subaru (Legacy and Outback), Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Acura (TL and TSX). We wanted 6 cyl and leather, so we were only testing the upper trims. Not surprisingly, Acuras were the most appealing cars in this list. TSX is a bit underpowered, but TL is great. Unfortunately it is also quite expensive.
I would have bought Subaru Legacy, but my wife wanted something different this time (we already have one Subie).
And Mazda was the best of the rest overall, in our opinion.
So if you are thinking of buying Mazda 6, the time is now - I think that 3K below invoice is a given, and they probably could potentially go even lower. I now wish I'd started lower.
But the rebates expire on July 5th.
$16,499 + dealership fee $300 + Tax and tags
Financed through them.
Thoughts?
Mazda 6i, base trim, plus:
* Automatic gear
* Convenience package
* Curtain airbags
* Wheel locks
MSRP - $22,210
Got a price that reflects $500 dealer reduction (not taxed) and $2000 rebate (taxed) and Manhattan 8.375% tax = $19,463
Paid OTD = $19463 + $210 DMV, title = $19,673
Paid cash, so there was no extra profit from lease, finance, etc.
$23,600 less $3,000 in rebates = $20,600/ MSRP $24,945
not including Tax, Title, tags, etc.
Other option was an i with the convenience package, $17,600
Anyone else heard of this?
Dealership - Puente Hills Mazda, Industry, Ca.
We will be starting our negotiations with our salesperson tomorrow morning intending to get things wrapped up as quickly as possible to take advantage of the rebates and didn't want to start off "too high."
The price I come up with considering invoice and rebates is $19,191, but this seems too high based on what other people on the board have said. Any advice anyone out there could offer would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
i thought the price would be a bit lower too, but we got quotes from 2 dealers in the CT area and that was the best they could do. basically, on a $24,900 MSRP the dealer knocked of about $1,300 and then $3000 in rebates.
on a $25k car, dealer taking off about 5% seems right though.
this is a dealer ads in madison wisconsin. it is so cheap!!!
is there anyone knows about if there is a secret incentive?
There was a special regional incentive, but only for the speed6, mentioned in that forum.
It's also a rare royal blue, which I really like.
Personally I think I can do much better. I was thinking about offering $18,500, but would love to hear from everyone here.
Thank you. :shades:
Old Demos like this are frequently sucker bait, as they are old already and have a new sticker (never been titled) and they can give some uninitiated clown a mediocre offer on an 06 and knock off another 1500 for the 05 demo and get him/her to bite.

Hello all, I found one of few leftover 2005 Mazda 6i (4 cylinder) hatchback at the local delaership. The original MSRP is at $26,700 or so with sunroof, 2-tone leather, Bose audio with six CD cahngers and automatic. They are asking $19,700 for the car. Car does not have title, so it is brand new car with about 2300 miles on the odometer.
It's also a rare royal blue, which I really like.
Personally I think I can do much better. I was thinking about offering $18,500, but would love to hear from everyone here.
Thank you.
From CarMax - 2005 Mazda 6
27,000 mileage. AC/power steering/air bags/power windows/power seats/alloy wheels/ABS brakes/AMFM CD system/power locks/power mirrors/cruise control/auto. transmission/color is green. 100% OK by AutoCheck.
no haggle price of $15,998.
Kelly Blue Book said this car is worth 17k+ but thats assuming its in "excellent" condition.
Is the 17K wholesale or the fantasy 3k +wholesale (retail) price nada and KBB publish?
If it wholesales 14K (check nada too) in excellent condition I would pass or get more off.
--jjf
anyways, edmunds/kelley/nada all showed the price to be over 16k and plus, carmax has "no haggle" prices = you cant negotiate.
Base 06 6i auto sedan (21000 MSRP?) has ads for 5000 -6000 off msrp on motoralley.com. (may have 500 off of that financing with mazda credit)
15000 to 16000 purchase price will have Us eating 2000-3000 depreciation (13000 wholesale in 1st year) which is acceptable this late in 06 on mazda6 base.
May want to try mazda3 as it is lighter and not as underpowered with bigger engine. Have seen numerous ads for 1000-1500 under invoice on mazda3 hatch -- dealers seem willing to make good deals on the hatch.
--jjf
Note that the 2006 would have 5 speed ATX, rather than the 4 speed that is in the 2005. The mpg ratings are better on the 2006. I also found the seats to be much more comfortable in the 2006 and it had less engine and road noise.
$16K sounds like far too high a price for the used 2005 to me.
sound good/bad, can i go lower, squeeze more options in there, etc.?
Many places were offering invoice price-$3500. I offered $17671, knowing they would want to add the "dealer service fee" of $129. So essentially $17,800, plus tax, title, license. They accepted it. I went for the glacier silver over the tungsten gray, which were the two cars they had at that price. Black cloth interior. I would have preferred a lighter color interior, but at least in this area, all I was seeing was black interiors.
Invoice is $21,808. Minus the $3,500 is 18,308. So $17,800 is $508 below invoice. I was very satisfied with this price.
I suppose it is possible I could have waited another week, and squeezed one or two hundred more dollars off, or maybe even now if I had pushed harder as they accepted my offer right away without haggling. But I got the car I wanted in a color I liked.
I have to wait a month, and then I can pay off the Mazda Credit loan in its entirety with a lower interest rate loan. The Mazda Credit loan was 8% for 48 months.
I hope this helps as I hadn't seen any recent pricing posted.
i was looking at an 06 sport - cloth, with bose and moonroof package and the prcie was close to 25k
in 2007, a grand touring, heated seats, etc, is about the same?
am i missing something?
I'm looking for a 5 door 2006 V6 with cloth and the bose system. Preferably red, black, or blue. Anyone seen one at their local dealer?
As I recall, they were the S version with the automatic, and not loaded with any options, so that kept the price down. But I didn't look that close as I focused on manual transmission cars. I haven't been past there since I got my car a week ago.
I don't know what the current rebate amounts are. I did use the mazda credit to get the $1000 off for using it. Interest rate was 8%. I was told I had to wait one month, and then I could pay it off in its entirety if I wanted, which I will do with a home equity loan at a lower rate.
I can tell you that when I was searching for a 2006 Mazda6, I could have received invoice price minus the $3500 rebates from several Mazda dealerships in Milwaukee and Chicago. Several dealerships had newspaper ads for that.
As I posted, I got mine for $500 below invoice. And that was not with haggling, walking away, fighting, etc. I was asked what price I would pay to buy that day, stated that price, and they said ok. A very cordial transaction (actually all done by e-mail until going in to pay for the car and picking it up. Well, to get the loan to pay for the car and pick it up). I don't know what your experience would be in your part of the country. Or what the experience would be if you are talking about a 2007.
I did suspect that there would be excellent deals on 2007's at some point this year since the 2008 Mazda6 will be substantially different. (I didn't care about that, so since I got a price that I was happy with, I went ahead and bought a 2006 this year).
I don't believe invoice is what the dealer pays when all is said and done, as there is a "holdback" that they get. I thought I read that it was 3% for Mazdas, but I can't say for sure. So I don't know what the dealer's actual cost is.
This has been a highly unusual month for me. I had not bought a NEW car since 1995. Since then, I had bought cars that were a couple of years old, and lower mileage. But I had been watching for over a year, and 2006 Honda Pilots were "on sale" recently. They had a $3000 "rebate" PLUS 2.9% financing. I found a model I wanted, and on labor day I went to a dealer and drove it. My wife liked it. Invoice was $25,300 after the $3000 off. I offered $25,000 and all I said was if they would sell it to me at that price, I would end my search and get it today, and if they couldn't, no problem, but I would head down to Chicago right then to see what I could do there. The salesman went to talk to the sales manager, came out literally 2 minutes later and said that was fine. Again, no haggling. No back and forth. No arguing.
I am no "super negotiator". But I got a new 2006 Pilot for $300 under invoice plus 2.9% financing. I got the Mazda6 for $500 under invoice. Why would they do it? I don't know the car business well enough to answer that. There are others that post around here that probably can. All I can say is that I am not exaggerating numbers to say, "Hey, look at the deal I got! I'm awesome!" I haven't bought a new car in over a decade. But these are the actual, exact experiences I had this month.
2006 Mazda6s $23,570 MSRP
AM/FM CD
4yr/50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty
2007 Mazda6s Sport VE $22,685 ($885 difference)
AM/FM in-dash 6 disc CD Changer
Side Sill Extentions
Dual Oval Exhaust Tip
Smoke-tint Headlight Lenses
Body Colored Grill
3yr/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty
It's really a tough choice to either jump now or wait until this time next year when the 2007 incentives are available.
Good luck to those making an upcoming purchase, and congrats to those who ended the agonizing and made the leap! The Mazda6 is a great car!
So I agonized as well. The 2007's are already about $1000 less. But maybe the incentives at the end of the year wouldn't be as much, and so maybe the total purchase price would be about the same. But maybe the incentives would have to be as large to move the 2007's since the 2008's will be a lot different. Lots of factors, and couldn't be sure.
That is why I told them I wouldn't buy at invoice. If they wouldn't have gone $500 below invoice, I told them I would just take my chances then and wait until the end of the 2007 model year.
At the end of it, I got a new 2006 Mazda6 S 6-cylinder for $17,800. If you consider what you get for that level of car, and compare it to the other cars available, and the cost of 1-2 year old used cars, and the average price of a new car sold in the U.S. today, I decided that is was a very nice deal and went for it.
