s-plan pricing

[rodslinger]

I can't find s-plan pricing for the new 2010 3 yet. Anyone have it yet. I'm now seriously thinking about swapping out my wifes 2006 5 for a new 3....

I heard Mazda might have lost the S plan because Ford doesn't own a large chunk of it anymore... plus with the e-con the way it is you might be able to talk them down more then invoice (S-Plan) but you have to remember they are NEW cars.

More and more Ford is buying more shares of Mazda. I believe that Ford owns over 38% of Mazda now. I could be wrong, but sure that I read this on another forum. It could actually be higher. Does anyone know?

I know they were considering selling off a fairly significant portion of it to float them, no idea if they actually did.

I wouldn't say right, I had no idea if it went through... lol I pretty much tuned the news out between the 2 trips the big 3 made to beg for their buyouts. too depressing to pay attention to. lol

Right well on here a lot of people seem to think that it's all three of the big three that got a hand out but Ford didn't get any money and they saw this comming so they sold off Land Rover and Jag they upped their fit-n-finish and sell good cars and trucks now.

you sound like a salesman. lol. I knew ford was in the best financial position of the 3, but, i guess I don't see selling off long term revenue streams as a better business plan than anything else thats being attempted right now.

I had no idea that they sold that many shares. Funny too because in 2007-2008 they bought a bunch. I saw the report thanks. Things move so fast in this market. In fact more and more Ford parts are built in Mazda's. I think that was bad move of Ford to sell those shares, but they needed money.

Once this economy turns around Ford will buy back all thier shares and then some because Ford knows that Mazda is a hit.
