Ballpark figures?

I'm in the market to purchase a 2010 Mazda 3 GS automatic with the comfort package and I was wondering what others were paying for similar model/options that I'm seeking...out the door prices? This way I'll have a better idea of what to negotiate/look for at my local Mazda dealership.

Thanks...I hope to hear your imput soon.

I got $750 off the MSRP pretty easily. I suspect that I could have done better.

The dealer will usually pad their pockets by insisting that you can't opt out of an extra $399 for etching/nitrogen for tires, locking lugnuts for another $70, etc, etc.

They will also try to up-sell you insurance products you may not want or need, rustproofing, and extended warranties.

Nitrogen, Is that not coming from the factory then?

Nitrogen, Is that not coming from the factory then?

Yes it is...my dealer not once told me that i have to pay for nitrogen when i bought my car last year

No it isn't..

The tires are filled with air when it arrives.

Just bought a Mazda 3 GS 5 speed standard transmission two weeks ago. After everything was done and said I paid about $23 000 - $24 000 for it. I got the rust control and paint sealant which set me back about another $1000. The dealer knocked off $450 and automatically puts on locking wheel nuts and charges $55 for it, have to tell them if you don't want them. Another dealer I was getting a quote from was willing to knock of $700. True or not I was told that there is not a whole lot of mark up on the 3's. Something to the tune of $1500 or so. Didn't get anything else on the car, as it sits it is basically a base GS!!

This is walk out the door price!!

I think I paid about 24k for my base GS model too.
mine is automatic and i added M.A.P just as a peace of mind cause 2010 is a new model

I went in and offered $1500 off the sticker price and then bargained from there. The salesguy I was dealing with told me he could approve anything up to $1000 off sticker price but anything above that needed to be approved by his manager. That kind of told me to push for at least $1000 off and see how much more they could bend beyond that. We met about half way.

This is great info guys...thank you for your prices and experiences. I really appreciate it.

I'm interested to see what kind of Interest rates August brings...if any different from the current July offerings.

I bought my 2010 M3 GS auto for $23,660 out the door but it came with the rustproof and soundguard. Not sure if that was a good deal or not but I like the car and the price was good for me.

Did you get the comfort package?

Hello, I'm a new user here and hoping to get some assistance on my first mazda purchase. I am doing a little research into a Pre-owned Mazda 3 sport. The details are as follows: 2006 Mazda3 GT Sport, Priced at $16,990(excludig taxes or fees), Milage is at 47,000km, automatic transmission, 2.3L. Power moon-roof. No leather. The car has previously had one owner and was an off lease. I would like to buy this car out the door at no more than $14,000-$14,500. Does this seem reasonable to ask for? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
