At that time, they had a pretty good mix of 6s and 6i cars.
oversight, or in fact, they actually let you order without moonroof??
Just go to Costco.com and hit the online form -- you can get information that way. I did it before buying my 6 and discovered "no participating dealers in your area." So... Might as well check and see if it's even an option before you bother spending much time on it.
I did finance through Costco's finance program, which is actually PeopleFirst.com (who advertises here on Edmunds). Great, super-easy experience, and a very low rate.
The car was "ordered" from the dealer's inventory, but it has arrived on the lot yet. It's scheduled for delivery this Thursday. The options I neglected to include are as follows:
Moonroof
SCA
Sports Grille
Trunk Organizer & Cargo Tray
Cassette (No plans to use it, but it was already in the car)
Hope this clears things up a bit.
Include the following information:
1) The city / state of the dealership
2) Date you were given the qoute
3) Amount over invoice not including any rebates. (if msrp, say how much over invoice that is)
4) Car details (i or s, MT or AT, and Sport or non-Sport)
and for grins:
5) How many different Mazda6's you have seen on the road.
And to the inevitable question: Yes, I do have a lot of free time and will report my findings.
What is the final price people have paid on a 6s, 5spd manual,Comfort Pkg, Sport, Bose, Moon, Curtains? I'm in Oregon and would like to go out this weekend to add to my debit column! Thanks in advance!
I saw my first one yesterday in Kanata and my second one about 30 seconds later...must have been together. Neither had the GFX package.
I guess the Altima is looking better when I can get it for bellow invoice.
Oh well, we'll see how long they keep that 6s on their lot.
I've had bad experiences from Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan....you name it (well, except for Saturn...they've always been very easy to deal with).
On the other hand, I've had good experiences at the same brands, just at different dealerships.
Around here, the ones I find easier to deal with are those belonging to Jeff Wyler. Jake Sweeney has improved. I still abhor Performance, Kerry and Superior dealerships. The ones at Kings Auto Mall are of mixed ownership, but the Toyota and Mazda dealerships there seem to be OK. Hidy Honda up in Dayton is much nicer than the Honda dealerships here in Cincinnati (shame too, as they offer some nice vehicles).
The sales guy made me an incredible offer of $500 over invoice on a Redfire 6i, MT, with Sport Package. Mix that with a grad rebate, and that's invoice price. Before I could say, "I'll take it", the guy said it was already sold.
Talk about having my hopes crushed.
But, he did say he could work out a similar deal if I ordered one. He said the build time was about 12 weeks. I'll be going back tomorrow to work some numbers.
Additionally, I asked about the MP3 player. He said he's still waiting on an ETA so I guess it's not quite ready yet...
What dealership did you go to that offered you the $500 over invoice plus the grad rebate? I'm looking for a 6i too. What city and state is the dealership in?
Thanks.
The red one I mentioned was at a different dealership. The original offer via email was $900 over invoice, which i would have paid had it been available, ($400 after grad rebate).
Anyone have an idea of what the Costco Price is on a 6s MT? I think there program is generall $XX dollars over invoice. Thanks!
The salesman offered $500 over invoice. Mazda offers a $500 rebate to grads. I'm not made of stone! You can't tell me 3.9% financing and a 6i with MT at invoice and expect me to say no. I have a few days before he actually places the order, then it will take 8 to 12 weeks.
About $21100 plus TTL
Redfire 6i MT
Premium/Sport Packages
Sport Grille/MP3 Player
Wheel Locks/Alarm Sensor Upgrade
ULEV, SAB, SAC, TCS, ABS
Aftermarket Leather
Let the waiting begin...
They've arrived in "port," wherever that is. The east coast warehouse should have them in about a week. Dealers will be able to get them a few days after that.
That's for dealer-installed. No idea on factory orders.
I thought about getting the 6s, but the owner said all of those go for MSRP, so I couldn't get the same great deal. He said I could order anything I wanted for $500 over invoice, as long as it didn't take away from his 6s allocation.
After talking to the saleman, he said there is a company already working on a turbocharger for the 6i. Interesting stuff huh?
Great deal though. If my salesman is willing to go near that amount, I'll be buying next week.
Leather/Comfort/Moonroof
ABS&TCS/SBA&SAC
Premium/Sport
Maybe Mazda's changing the build options and haven't updated their site yet. The MP3 player isn't on the site either, but that's a valid option. I don't know. I'll give him a call today and make sure that's a valid build combination.
Are you in Blacksburg/Roanoke area? If so which dealer are you dealing with?
Thanks

I went ahead and called the dealer today. We will see if they can indeed order the car I want. I don't want to pay extra for leather, moonroof, comfort, ect.... but will if they offer me $500 over invoice.
I see that you decided to go ahead and get a fully loaded 6I. Any particular reason?
ShawnVT:
I already graduated from Tech, so I'm (sadly!) no longer in the Blacksburg area. Va. Beach, actually. Too bad, if we both showed up looking to buy I bet we could have landed a great deal.
fjb323:
I received a quote from warrantydirect.com for ~$1300. This is for 7yr/100,000 mile coverage and $0 deductible on the 6S with 500 miles on it. Go to warrantydirect.com (or 1sourceautowarranty.com)... they will give you a free quote. The dealer will most likely give you a MUCH higher price.
My roommate has a mp3 player in his car. Incompatibility with aftermarket head units forced me to get the factory one. I'll still aftermarket the rest of the audio.
My sister had the wheels stolen off her car. So there's my personal reason for the wheel locks and alarm (minor expenses).
The safety stuff seems like such a small price to pay if it saves death or serious injury. The size of SUVs nowadays scares me. I don't want to think of what would happen if I got broadsided by one of those.
I was originally planning on $500 over invoice after my grad rebate. I was able to save another $500 from this other dealer. So, that brought the cost way down.
I wasn't impressed with the cloth seats. After test driving with cloth, I couldn't even remember what they were like. They didn't stand out. After trying out the leather, they really stuck out and I loved how the interior looked with it. That left me with the factory or aftermarket leather option. However, I'm not sure the aftermarket company has even done a 6 yet, so that concerned me. They both cost the same, except the aftermarket wouldn't have the comfort package.
And as for the moonroof.... well, christmas came early this year.
The price was cheaper than I expected. $21650 invoice. Looks like my education is finally starting to pay off after all.
I am getting the car through s-plan so I'm not sure what kind of leverage I have.
Thanks, Chris
And yes, I was hoping for a contingency clause similar to that on a house. A friend recently bought a G35 coupe and had this clause because the dealer didn't really care as there was a waiting list on the car anyways.
Chris
I was given that option when I ordered.
6S MT Steel Grey
Comfort
Sport
Moon Roof
Wheel Locks
Asked for and got $500 over invoice, which came out to even invoice with the college grad rebate. Out the door at $ 23, 930. Can't WAIT to take possession next week!
If they have one with the options you want, go for it.
When I ordered, the salesman said I would probably take a $700 to $800 depreciation hit by waiting the three months for the car to come in. But according to my math:
Next to Nothing - $700 = Next to Nothing. Would a 5 year old car depreciate that much in just three months?
