    Default 08 mazda 3 sport GS vs 08.5 mazda 3 sport GS,

    I financed a 2008 mazda 3 sport GS package but now iam finding out that the 2008.5 model is the exact same in terms of price when financing and also has more features such as cruis and 6 speakers vs the 4.... I personally feel that Ive been tottaly ripped off since when i financed the car i asked about the 08.5 and the guy at Dufferin mazda said "no way you get deal like this on 08.5".... so i financed in march and now were in may and I can get my mind off of it...
    I dont know if iam just overreacting or w/e but just wanted to know what other people that bought the 08 GS think about this? Bizz told me that I would lose $$$ if i sold now and when i researched is I found out that that is tottaly out of the question.

    deals change all the time. You bought two months ago. You can always wait for a better deal, but then you may never get a car.

    why get so worked up over that? I like NEVER use cruise control, and as for the speakers, nothing that JL audio can't fix.

    When did the finance rates for the 08.5 change?

    If you got the car before the rate change, then I guess the dealer was giving you the better deal. However, if the rate change were already there at the time you financed your 08, then yeah, the dealer may have ripped you off.

    do you seriously need 2 threads to rant about this shiz?

    You got the best deal possible at the time, live with it and enjoy your car.

    Or sell yours and take a huge financial hit to get a new one.

    Those are your options.

    Exactly...like with electronics...bought a 37" Sharp LCD last year for $1699...you can find the damn thing for under $800 now!

    Enjoy the ride...who knows, next month there will probably be a 2008.5684949 for -3% financing!
