Yeah that's the MSRP of an i.. The MSRP on the car I purchased for 18,300 was 24,300 or so..
The new 6 is coming out late August so was hoping there will be some further discounting on the current models.
Thanks
Good luck

(Edmunds should probably add a note of advice on how to report selling prices to all these "prices paid" forums, along the lines of note that they have on the "real world trade in values" forum.)
If it is the auto i ve msrp 21200 about 16200 + tax title is about an average deal. 3.9% for 36 months would sweeten it if you can't get that financing yourself.
Good luck

Thanks for your useful info.
I also posted in the lease thread, but there hasn't been much activity there of late.
I'm looking for the money factor and residual % on this one with an MSRP of ~$21500. 24 & 36 month leases, 12K miles per year.
But I'm really interested to hear of any recent leasing experiences as well.
Thanks!
I was thinking of buying an '08 but the dealer stock is very thin. Have dealers received all the '08's that they are going to get?
Dealers stopped receiving shipments of 08 Mazda6's quite a long time ago. Production stopped back in March-April. Since April, the Flat Rock plant where the Mazda6 is built under went a huge over haul. Not only did they retool the plant to build the 09's, but, updated equipment and manufacturing essentials have been implemented to ensure not only great build quality, but also bring the factory to being state of the art.
I currently have an '06 Mazda3 s 5-door with manual transmission. Due to some health issues, it's become apparent that I need a car with an automatic transmission. A year ago, the Mazda6 s with the V6 would have been my choice, but fuel prices make the 4-cylinder a much wiser choice for me. The 2.3L/auto MZ6 isn't exactly a powerhouse, but I've driven one as a loaner for a few weeks and I can live with it.
The dealers in my area are knocking $4k off sticker price before any negotiating even begins. The Sport VE 4-door with automatic and power moonroof has an MSRP of $22,270 and can be had for $18,200 (or less). The Touring 4-door with power moonroof (and standard automatic trans, heated leather seats and Bose stereo) has an MSRP of $23,760 and a dealer has already accepted an offer of $19,400 + tax that I made this afternoon.
My main concern is what sort of resale value will either of these have in a year or two from now. An '06 i Touring currently has a private party value of $15,600...so I suppose the same could be expected from an '08 i Touring in two years.
Anyone have any insights, thoughts, suggestions? Thanks!
I think the private party number of $15600 is optimistic. IMO, that would about what the car your considering would be worth the day after you drive it off the lot.
I wish there were more of the 5-door i models around... according to the Mazda website, there are 329 Mazda6 4-door sedans within 250 miles of me and only NINE 5-door hatchbacks. And two of those nine 5-doors are "Bright Island Blue"- good luck moving those! What were they thinking?
I'm still undecided at this point, but I did something today that surprised even me a little- I test drove a Kia Optima...and the REALLY shocking part- I actually liked it!
They're also going for at least $3800 off sticker- the one I liked stickered for $19,990 and the "no haggle" sale tag was $16,199. That was the LX 2.4L automatic with the Appearance Package and ABS/Traction/Stability Control.
I hate to admit this, but I'm just not sure if I can say the words "I drive a Kia"...a little bit of brand-snobbery, I suppose...but that 100k warranty is might attractive.....
I hate making these kinds of decisions.....
and C) let's you get rid of the car, if you decide in those two years that you don't like it, without having to go through the trade-in ordeal.
I know what you mean with the Optima. I think it looks nice, price is right, a major magazine rated it very highly about a year ago or so in a comparo test, great warranty, mpg is good, etc. It's just that I knew a couple of people that had a lot of trouble with KIAs and had problems with the dealership fixing warranty items. That plus the cachet like you said kind of keeps me away too. You know, Honda very early on kind of had that bit of negativity associated with it as well.
Out the door, all taxes, registration etc. for just under $18K cash, for San Francisco bay area (Hayward Mazda, Internet department). Received almost $5.5K discount. IMHO, one of the best value car deals going right now.
Funny you mention the Optima, I was just stuck with one as a rental for a week. It did not appeal to me at all.
Good luck

Very happy with the experience, not too much haggling and b.s..

I test drove a 2008 Mazda 6 Sport Value edition today and they quoted a price of 16500+TTL. That will be 17.5 OTD. The dealership also has 2007 Models still lying (Not sold since the past 2 years! Brand new). What is the best price for brand new 2007 model sport and brand new 2007 Value edition - 4 cylinder versions you think I should pay
Also After test driving, I did not find it as smooth as my 2008 Accord Sedan. If Fuel efficiency is not a priority for me, you think 6 cylinder version will give a better drive? is it a good model? If so what should be my target price for 6 cylinder Value edition?
Thanks
If the 07s are brand new which to me is doubtful. I wouldn't offer any more than $14 to $14500 + ttl for one.
I want to buy a brand new 2008 Mazda MAZDA6 i Sport Sedan 4D (2.3L I-4 Engine with auto transmission, AC, cruise control) in Dallas TX . Anybody has buying experience in Dallas or other city, state recently? The tax rate here in TX is 6.25%. How much is the out the door price? (including TTL and everything) Thanks a lot!

Let's say you pay the dealer $18k for a car in New Hampshire and pay a dealer in TX the same $18k for the same car. Your OTD amount could vary by more than $2000 because of sales tax(none in NH), dealer doc fees or whatever the dealer calls them of anywhere from $75 to $600, advertising fees in certain regions, etc. etc.
See what I mean.
