It takes anywhere between 4 and 6 weeks. I ordered mine a little over a month ago, and it came in about a month. They were expecting the car to come in about 3 weeks after the build date, but it came in about 5 days later.
I got my mazda 6 s GT black/black on monday with everything but navi. Even those sill plates, the car looks real slick at night. The welcome lighting is awesome. Its really had to explain what it is, but it looks really good. All cars should have this.
Does anyone know how to make the song title scroll across the screen when listening to sirius. I know i can press the text button and scroll it manually. But this is really annoying, is there anyway way to set it, so i dont have to hit any buttons? I read the whole manual about this, and it didn't say a word about it. I tired to hold down the button, it hopes it would give me some options.
Was that from sending emails or calling Mazda? Did the rebate come via email?
Thanks for posting!
Here's the reply I received today (so I guess I'll get it in a week or so):
"Thank you for your interest in the new 2009 Mazda6. This is a “private” offer, meaning you must receive the offer in the mail or via e-mail to take advantage of it. Mazda values each and every person who is interested in our products. This is a program for current and previous Mazda owners that may be ready to purchase based on information we have received from them. Customers that prior to September 2008 have indicated that they are interested in the 2009 Mazda6 or other Mazda products via our website. We’re sorry but only owners and non-owners who received the Mazda Private Launch Offer Direct Mail package are eligible. However, as a loyal Mazda owner, I would be happy to offer you a $500 Preferred Buyer’s Card good toward the purchase of a 2009 Mazda6. Please reply back to confirm so I may process your card today."
Edit: BTW, a phone call did absolutely nothing for me.
Thanks guys for the tips and advice!
I do have some more questions for everyone.
I've heard that in order for a dealership to move a car from one store to the other, or trade one between dealerships, the buyer is required to put down a deposit on the car. Everything I've ever read has told me to never put down a deposit on a car they don't actually have. So what is the right thing to do? How much would a reasonable deposit be? Has anyone using the S-Plan been asked to do this when they don't have the car you want on the lot? Thanks!
BTW, I sent emails 2 days in a row, and my wife and I were Mazda owners in the past (MX-6 & RX-7), but not currently. They still offered to send the $500 card.
Good luck...
A fresh order takes 8-10 weeks from the time of allocation to dealer inventory.
What your dealer did you for was alter an incoming unit before it went into production. Once the vehicle has been produced, it's roughly 4-6 weeks.
So, is it worth it to go through this dealership just to get the free extra warranty? I do plan to keep the car for at least the 5 year/60,000 mile factory warranty timeframe, and possibly longer. There's a small, but real chance, that I might not live in this area when the factory one is up. Who knows? They don't actually have the car I want, but claim to have "located" it. The other 2 Mazda dealerships near me don't have the one I want, either. So, whoever I go with will have to bring it in from somewhere. I really don't think I can be patient enough to wait for one on order. I've been looking for a new car for a year. Now that I've found what I want, I want it now.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
i kid, but i wouldnt doubt some dealership has tried that before going under
You might try Wilkins Mazda on Butterfield Rd. They usually have a very large inventory. When the new 6's were just hitting the dealerships they had more than anybody and they have always been very competitive on pricing.
I also emailed them and got a reply back today. The reply also states there is no incentives if I am buying the vehicle. Only the current lease specials are available.

"Thank you for contacting Mazda. Unfortunately, the only incentive for the 2009 Mazda6 is for lease on the I-Sport model. Mazda does not have any incentives for purchase at this time. Keep in mind that all incentives are only released at the first of each month and I would be unable to speculate on future purchase incentives."
I am wondering if I should try calling again and see if another service rep can get me the $500 card.

Oh yeah, the Bluetooth works great. I just have to get my phone book programmed and I'll be set.
Did they send you something that qualified you for the S-Plan? Did they call or notify the dealer to give you S-Plan pricing? Did the dealer just give you S-Plan pricing or what? Or did you become a member of the Karting Assoc to become a S-Plan qualifier? Realize they might have did something very nice for you but I am looking for some details on how you got the S-Plan pricing.

I test drove the GT and the MS3.
The GT was nice but it felt very harsh over small road expansion joints, potholes, etc. I thought the tires were overinflated but were not. Has anyone else felt this?
The Mazda 6 is definitely a great car in many ways.
FYI-The dealer sent me an email to say that I could have any Mazda 6 for $200 BELOW invoice. The dealer is in Philadelphia...Go Phillies!
However, if dealers in your area are offering 6's for under invoice you have the ability to get as good or better price than S-Plan already. From what I've read on this forum I think S-plan is basically invoice plus a documentation fee.
On top of that, the Mazda 6 is an awesome car. Ive had mine for 2 weeks and I love it.
"Thank you for contacting Mazda.
It is great read about your interest and enthusiasm in the 2009 Mazda6.
My best recommendation would be to work with a Mazda Shopping Assistance Agent by logging into www.mazdausa.com and building a vehicle under the shopping tools tab. From there you can click on the “have any questions click here” tab to chat live with a Mazda USA Agent. This agent will be able to locate your specific 2009 Mazda6 in your area and then contact your dealership for you and provide you will a dealership quote."
I don't think any of this related to the email I sent to them. I'm just grateful for the S-Plan. Best wishes to those of you who did get the bonuses!
They gave $21935 for base i touring.
They also could give me the same price without the s plan.
They still could give few hundreds off from that price too.
Is the s plan really a good deal?
Why do we have to use the s plan if we can get the same deal?
This is all because supply has caught up quickly as new car sales in general have tanked. Normally, the s-plan would have been a good deal for probably the first six months of the new model run. In this sales climate it was quickly surpassed by supply.......hence prices under invoice! If you got the money and/or credit it's a great time to buy a vehicle. Just hang onto your job.
Yeah. The bluetooth is great. I'm going to try the phone book programming tomorrow too. I read through the manual and it made my brain hurt a little. I'll tackle it in depth in the morning - after coffee!

Mazda6 sales are up. It's every other model that is down, that is why the 6 is being discounted. It has nothing to do with supply. However, any way you slice it, you can get a good deal on a Mazda6 now.
I'm sure supply plays some part in the pricing. If they were flying out the door as fast as you could get them on your lot I highly doubt they would be offered for less than invoice no matter how poorly other models are selling. Look at the the 09 Jetta TDI. Dealers are asking over MSRP for them and getting it right now. It's strictly supply and demand as I don't think Passats are selling well at all.
I almost pulled the trigger on a 08' TL (30,289 in NJ OTD, includes 7% tax and all fees @ invoice-$3500+ and 2.9%) but My dealer called me that Mazda now has 3.9% and now it's a no brainer.
I am going to order the car today( with a pocket full of discounts, S-plan, Private Launch 1K, MAC bonus 1K and 3.9%). I need to decide on a Touring w\ CONV and Bose($29115) or GT w\ Bose(30670).
IS THE GT WORTH $1600 MORE than Touring for
full leather heated seats vs cloth/leather combo,
auto dim side and rearview mirrors w\ home link
LED Tailights (have not seen the diff, will tonight)
passenger power seat (let the Mrs move her own seat I say)
I would pay 1K for these not $1600.
Any opinions?
Also the color selection is a bit weak. i am going for Silver w/black int. The Comet gray plays tricks on your eys in daylight.
I do a good job, get praises from all the customers; whats an extra 10-15K in my pocket gonna hurt the bottom line.
Some people do get hung up on the little nickle and dimes...
Dealers are desperate today, and in reality the stock market should have no effect on people coming out to buy cars, because stock is fake money anyway. 401K's, 403B's that are all tanking right now will go back up. You don't see that money for years anyway, but, yet, it makes people not want to spend the money they do have.
Since business is slow, around here dealers are not giving as great of deals because we all need to make money. The excuse "the economy sucks, car sales are slow, so give me the car for free" just does not work. My response is "you must be doing just fine, or you would not be here!" Shuts 'em right up!
Anyway, I will never fault a customer for trying to rob the car, because they all read books, visit web sites like Edmunds, that give them all these "tricks" to make a dealer give the car away. A good salesman will always blow past all that garbage, establish a quality relationship with the customer, win them over and have them be overly joyed that the just bought a car. A salesman's happiest customer is ALWAYS the ones they make money on. The guy who comes in and busts your balls, wants the car for nothing, comes in with print outs from Edmunds are never fully satisfied, and are typically your worst customers, AND a salesman never makes any money on them.
