I took the MAC financing to get the additional $1000 rebate, but I will be paying that off next week...with only $38 in interest charges.

Latest rumors are that the redesigned Mazda6 will either debut, or appear in "concept" form, at the Frankfurt auto show this fall, and will appear later in '08 as a '09 model.
Of course, I'm sure that'll change...
Edmunds editors may want to reconsider their choice of Hyundai Accent/Kia Rio as Editors' Most Wanted Sedan Under $15,000 for 2007 . A 4 cyl, manual transmission, Mazda6 can probably be had for under $15,000 .
(Though even within Mazda, the 3 does not seem to sell for much less than the 6)
I don't see why rotors would be affected, except maybe some rust that will come off with use. (We never had problems with rotors on that Windstar, it has over 100,000 miles and we are on the third set of pads on front, but still has original rotors)
I'm getting the 2007 Mazda 6 S VE out the door in Phoenix AZ for $23300. Is this a reasonable price? The reason I ask is I didn't have to negotiate very hard for this price...the starting price of the car was the invoice price itself. All comments appreciated
If there is an auto show in your area, there might be another $1000 rebate. Ads here were at about $5000 below MSRP, at least on the i, around auto show time.
There is no auto show in Phoenix for the next couple of months Also, I am financing through Capital One so the $1000 MAC finance bonus doesn't apply...Here is the breakdown of the price:
2007 Mazda 6s Value Edition
$ 21,800 Price
- 1,000 Customer Cash
$ 20,800 Price with Rebate
+ 440.60 Plates
369.00 Doc Fee
5.00 Tire Fee
1,684.80 Tax
$23,299.40 OTD
Thanks!
Normally it will be a month to pay it off as you get the statement after about 3 weeks and if you call or go on website they give you payoff amount for 10 days ahead. I called early and was able to get payoff quote using SS#.
I paid $60 in interest to get the $1000 rebate. I would have paid cash otherwise.
Is $21,800 invoice? Have you tried other dealers...I had no problem getting email quotes at below invoice in Jan...pretty sure there was a $500 dealer incentive going at the time.
Wow! You guys pay heavy plate and document fees :surprise: . Nothing you can do about the plate fee, but does everyone out there charge that much for doc. fee?
Here (WI) it is $99-129, dealers were only allowed to start that scam a couple years ago. They set the fee and do not have to even have one but some try to claim it is a state fee.
Anyway, the fabric is different on '06 and '07's.
I loved driving the Mazda 6, however I am concerned with the consumer reports evaluatoin of it's reliability. The I4 got better ratings.
I am trying to understand how the ratings were established. The Fusion and Mazda 6 to my understanding have teh same engine right? So how does the Fusion get high engine/trans reliability for first year, and Mazda 6 has lower values?
Thanks for any input. Also, how about any information on an extended warranty? What is a reasonable cost to pay for one?
The engines are the same or mostly so, the differences in CR results are most likely just random sample errors. CR gets its ratings by surveying its readers. The surveys are pretty poor, IMO, as the questions are too subjective. They ask something like "did you have a problem that you think was significant". There are a number of critiques of CR reliability reports at:
http://www.truedelta.com/pieces/think.php?session_code=
If I am unlucky and get stuck with a major repair bill after the warranty ends, I can afford this, so I do not bother with extended warranties. If this would be a major problem for you, then maybe it is worth getting this "insurance", as long as you are sure of what you are getting.
Edmunds "true cost to own" shows expected repair costs of $706 for 5 years 75,000 miles for the Mazda6. Note that this is only about $70 (or 10%) more than Camry or Accord.
Here is another piece of data on reliability of Mazda:

Lastly-any disadvantages on getting a 06 model? Thanks!
Mazda did have some early issues with the V6 but nothing really big....At this point all the kinks appear to be worked out & the Ford/mercury versions enjoy the luxury of a few years of improvements.
Is this rebate only off of MSRP, or can it be applied to whatever final price is negotiated with the dealer (say invoice for instance)?
I would think invoice minus the rebate would be the highest price one should need to pay.
In the end, I was able to get a newer model 05 for $500 under invoice, $500 Gerber rebate, and $1,500 (I think?) of MAC rebates so I went with the newer model.
For ANY left over car I would pay no more than dealer actual invoice less rebates or buy back and would expect an even lower price. If you pay more, you might as well get the current model car.

$3750 Mazda rebate
$1000 MAC(Mazda America Finance)rebate
$1000 Cleveland Auto Show discount
$2773 dealer discount(dealer invoice minus $500!)
Total discount:$8523
MSRP:$29,340-$8523= $20,817 plus tax/title
It has 41k miles, and is really clean, hardly any swirl marks in the paint. Took it for a drive, stopped at another local Mazda dealer to see what they had, and took it home to show the wife. They had it priced at $15,995, down from 20,995 on the sticker. I had a $500 coupon we had gotten in the mail earlier in the week. We decided to buy it. Seems like a good price to me. $16485 with all fees. It is equipped exactly as I would want, we'd probably have to order a new one to get this option/color package, and to find another one like it used might take months. A new one would be at least $27k. We'll pick it up early next week.
Who needs to know about that? If there is insignificant information, that should really be noted as opposed to not showing the configuration.

So, it ain't a GT.
Some (such as myself) have paid closer to $16,000. I can't recall reading of anyone getting lower than that so far.
