What are all these blue links for? The first blue link breaks down the numbers so that you don’t have to do any math or researching. You’ll see exactly how much money you’re saving if you pay the “Internet Price”. It also lists the National Average Discount, the National Maximum Discount and the National Average Price for each vehicle. We also provide our personal opinion to whether we think the deal is good or not.

If we approve the deal, we’ll show a thumbs up and “Bring Your Checkbook“.

If we think the deal is ok, we’ll show a thumb tilted sideways and “Fair Market“.

If we disapprove the deal, we’ll show a thumbs down and “Keep Shopping“.

The second blue link is the proof you’ll need when you step foot onto the dealership. Don’t leave home without it! It’s the page that shows the price which you’ll be asking for. It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.

How Do I Use This Deal From Woodbridge, VA In My Hometown? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about.

It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up dealership’s website and checking their inventory. It may take a few tries before a dealership agrees to honor the deal. The effort is certainly worth it. Saving an extra thousand(s) really pays off.

Model: 6 auto
Trim: i Touring w/ convenience package
Mileage: new
VIN:
Buying
From Dealership
ZIP 79936

Thanks again!

Queen of the Road: Howdy! Here’s what I’ve got for those two requests.

For the 2008 Madza6, I have s Touring 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A) and i Touring 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5A).

For the 2009 Mazda6, I have i Grand Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 5A) and s Touring 4dr Sedan (3.7L 6cyl 6A). Pick the ones you’d like deals for and I’ll start price searching.

Question From Monica: Im interested in the 2008 Mazda 6 S Grand Touring but MSRP seems high. I want to negotiate on the price but also want to be reasonable/realistic. What is the lowest price I should be looking for on this model?

Queen of the Road: Hi Monica. For the 2008 Mazda6, this is all I currently have available…

i Sport 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
i Touring 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5A)
s Touring 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
s Sport Value Edition 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

I may have a Grand Touring in the next week or so, but if you’d like the see any of the listed below, just reply in the comment box and I’ll get started looking for the lowest prices.

Question From Kishore:  What is the best price that I should be paying? Dealers are advertising $9K off until 9/2/08 or $4.5K with 1.9% financing. I did a search the autobrag site and found some quotes in the $29K from VA dealers. Will this quote work with dealers here in DFW? How does it work in terms of best price and negotiation? Appreciate all the good that you are doing with this site and info.

Also, I have been noticing the discount is more towards the GT versus the touring version.
I do not mind a touring edition with moonroof if it costs less than GT.

Thanks again.

Queen of the Road: Hi Kishore. According to AutoBrag statistics, the average discount is $6,800 off MSRP and the maximum discount is $9,100 off MSRP. So it looks like that one dealership is offering a hefty discount. It also depends on the MSRP and if it applies to CX-9s with moonroofs. Advertisements can be tricky and that $9k could apply to only base or the most expensive CX-9s.

If you have proof that you found a better price for the same MSRP elsewhere, then you saved yourself 20-40 minutes of landing on a price. Don’t leave home without it! It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.

Before you go to the dealerships, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet/Sales Manager because, not only do you save yourself the trip over there and those “Let me speak with my manager” delays, you may get a good deal in one short phone call. I always advise people to avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up a Mazda dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. This car’s price before taxes,fees, etc. in New York should cost the same in Las Vegas.

For a 2008 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring w/moonroof 4dr SUV (3.7L 6cyl 6A),

The Largest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $33,706.00
MSRP: $41,870.00
ePrice: $33,706.00
Savings: $8,164.00
% OFF MSRP: 19.50%

For a 2008 Mazda CX-9 Touring 4dr SUV w/moonroof (3.7L 6cyl 6A),

The Largest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $29,661.00
MSRP: $37,167.00
ePrice: $29,661.00
Savings: $7,506.00
% OFF MSRP: 20.20%

In this case, the better deal regarding a moonroof is the Touring. Goodluck and let us know how everything turns out!

This Is An Update To A Previous Question

Queen of the Road: Hi there! Below is each year with both 4D and 5D figures. I set the 2005 and 2007 mileage at 30,000 so you’ll know the maximum price you should pay. Once you find a specific Mazda3, then just let us know the exact mileage and we’ll narrow the price down for you.

For a 2005 Mazda3 4D I with 30,000 miles, prices range from $13,300 (being in above average condition) to $11,600 (being in average condition) and $9,800 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $11,000 to $14,800.

For a 2005 Mazda3 5D I with 30,000 miles, prices range from $11,400 (being in above average condition) to $10,600 (being in average condition) and $9,700 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $11,000 to $12,800.

For a 2006 Mazda3 4D I with 30,000 miles, prices range from $12,600 (being in above average condition) to $11,000 (being in average condition) and $9,400 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $10,700 to $14,100.

For a 2006 Mazda3 5D I with 30,000 miles, prices range from $13,600 (being in above average condition) to $12,100 (being in average condition) and $10,700 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $12,100 to $15,100.

For a 2007 Mazda3 4D I with 30,000 miles, prices range from $13,000 (being in above average condition) to $12,300 (being in average condition) and $11,500 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $13,000 to $14,600.

For a 2007 Mazda3 5D I with 30,000 miles, prices range from $14,200 (being in above average condition) to $13,200 (being in average condition) and $12,200 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $13,700 to $15,800.

For a 2008 Mazda3 4D I with 15,000 miles, prices range from $13,500 (being in above average condition) to $13,800 (being in average condition) and $12,100 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $13,600 to $15,100.

Once you find a Mazda3 I that you want, check carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Best of luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes! Tell your friends and family about our free personal service.

Follow Up Comment: Holy crap, that’s some detail you got!  I really appreciate this info. I’ve done more shopping over this weekend, and dealers don’t seem to want to deal too low.

My first negotiation for 2005 Mazda3 with about 30,000 miles yielded about $14,500 out of the door, and 2008 Mazda3 with about 10,000 miles (no power windows/lock/etc) yielded about $15,500 out of the door. I guess I’ll keep on looking for better deals.
