Most dealers won't lose the money on that car.... The program's not quite that aggressive, but there is some $ to save on the '05 models. Mazda sorta left the '05s out to dry. Depending on the equipment you want, you can actually get the '06 for less if you play your cards right. Just ask Keleko...Mazda3Rookie said:If it can help, at the beginning of November I got my 2006 Hatchback S Touring Manual for $17,100 (about $50 above invoice, including destination charge). No coupon, no rebate, just negotiation with the dealer.
For a 2005 model I would aim at not less than $1,000 BELOW invoice. Forget the MSRP, don't negotiate down from that price. Otherwise, why get the older model year?
