Well my friend is buying a Mazda6 GT. (the fully loaded version v6 etc.) In Southern ontario anyway the Dealers want $34500 cad. For the car. Using the x-plan will probably get you approx 3000 off. If anyone is getting better pricing, lets here it.
Stocker.

 

MSRP for loaded GT-V6/GFX is 34,060. I'm only getting 750 off MSRP and the lifetime warranty undercoating at no-charge.

I'm happy anyways.

 

No one will be getting $3000 off. There isn't $3000 mark up on the car. The X-plan is 4% over cost which will get you a discount of about $1300. Good luck finding a dealer to honor the x-plan for the first 6 months. Other than the big dealers in Quebec who are allotted about 30 M6's off the bat, the other dealers who are only getting about 6 a month for the first 3 months aren't going to discount a car they can sell to someone else for MSRP.

This cars main competitors the Camry and Accord don't budge 1 cent on their price, Mazda has a better car for the same money why should they discount?

 

First off the X-plan is not 4% over cost, it is 4% over A-plan, which is 5% below dealer invoice. Second, if you have bought Mazda's at the dealership before and are a recognized customer then there is a good chance they will honor x-plan. Third you will get approx 3000cad, off as my friend has already signed the deal for the V6-GT and they got the 3000 off you say doesn't exist. So before you start shitting over everyone get your facts straight. Or at least be more polite when you do it. Bloody Frogs never did have any manners.
Stocker.

 

First off I'm not a Frog. I live out west.

Secondly, maybe YOU should get your facts straight, or better yet get some facts period.

The Mazda A & Z plans are for salaried Ford or Mazda employees or retired employees (not dealer employees).

The X-plan is for Ford supplier employees.

The A & Z plans are dealer invoice. The X-plan is 4% OVER dealer invoice. This works out to about a $1700 discount on a loaded GT-V6 with GFX. Out of that $1700 the dealer is rebated $150. I find it hard to believe a dealer is giving away $1550 in profit when this car is in such high demand and low availability at this point. Maybe in six months time, but not now. The X-plan is at dealer discretion on the Mazda6.

There are NO plans that enable Ford employees to buy for under dealer invoice.

So unless your friend is a salaried Ford employee, both you and him are full of ****.

Where do I get my facts do you ask?
I'm a Mazda employee and I'm reading it out of the official documentation as I write this message.

If I sounded alittle abrasive in my first post its because it annoys me when people with out facts (like yourself) come on here and BS the rest of us. This message is abrasive because you insulted me and pissed me off.

 

And 'frog' is needlessly discriminating. We don't need, nor have we asked for, that type of segregation between members on here.

 

Would you like to know where I get my facts from? Fords official supplier pricing release. Would you like to know where else? How about when I bought my car. That's right. When you purchase the car using the X-plan they are required to show you the dealer invoice. Then they pull out the sheet which shows the pricing. Guess what, it was approx 1% below dealer invoice. Perhaps you are confusing Dealer Invoice with production cost. I don't know. Maybe the X-plan varies by region. Perhaps your company is lying to you. As for pissing you off. Here is an idea, accept the fact that you don't know everything.

What I am doing is letting people know what you are capable of getting the mazda 6 for. Dealers (In South Ont anyways) are willing to deal. Here is a news flash for ya buddy, the 6 isn't the best thing since sliced bread. Yes it looks good but the accord has it beat hands down in power and options. So deal with the fact that the 6 isn't some sort of specialty car that everyone tripping over themselves to purchase.
Stocker.

 

Relax it was a joke. You will not save the world one message board at a time.

 

Whattf type if power trip you on? Think you're cool as you can act all cocky on a f*cking messageboard?

Ease up. Don't get confused in thinking that I give a damn about any part of your life.

Goddamn. 'save the world one message board at a time'. That's it.

And didn't your mother teach you that making racist or discriminating 'jokes' aren't really jokes.

 

Mazda Media press release:

'Mazda6 went on sale in May 2002 in Japan, with three body styles: SEDAN, SPORT and SPORT WAGON. Since the vehicle's launch, its superb styling, dynamic performance, excellent packaging, functionality and craftsmanship have been proving popular with many customers. The car has won a total of 30 awards in 19 countries and regions around the globe, including Japan's RJC Car of the Year last December, runner-up in the European Car of the Year, a place among Car and Driver magazine's "2003 10 Best," and Britain's Auto 1 Car of the Year.'

 

Perhaps I stuttered?

I have the official Mazda documentation in front of me. It is for all Mazda Canada, its the same for all regions. There are no plans to buy under dealer invoice. The X-plan is 4% OVER DEALER INVOICE. If your dealer told you differently they LIED.

As for the Accord being better, don't make me laugh!!

The Accord is unbelieveably ugly for starters, you might as well drive a Toyota Echo. Yes the Accord has a couple of luxury options the 6 doesn't, but most people in the 6 demographic don't care about them. As for more power, I have driven both, they felt about the same to me. The handling on the 6 is being compared to cars $20,000 higher in price, the Honda can't touch the suspension on the 6. The 6 is designed to carve a new niche in the market for people looking a for a REAL affordable SPORTS sedan. It won't put Honda out of business, but will steal a small percentage of their customers. Honda has a very brainwashed and loyal following, but in reality there are other vehicles out there that match and surpass thier quality. All things aside I couldn't bring myself to park a car that UGLY in my drive way.

 

Sorry. That wasn't me talking anything about x-plans or dealer invoice. I believed that already.

 

Once more, straight from the release.

Note the 4% over Ford employee price" Which as of last year was 5% below dealer invoice.

Regardless I am tired of arguing. You have your story, I have mine.

 

The A-plan price may be 5% under invoice on Ford vehicles, but A-plan on Mazda vehicles is invoice pricing and X-plan is 4% over that. I know GM employees can buy for under invoice so it wouldn't suprise me if Ford employees could, but not on the Mazda product.

Kincaid,

No worries, I knew you weren't talking to me.

 

it 's correct. A-plan means invoice, X-plan is 4% over invoice. I sold so many cars with X or A-plan in last year. Mazdas' invoice is different than Ford. Ford is the A-plan or Z -plan price on the invoice already. Don't argue anymore, but there is no such $3000 discount of the M6. One day maybe, I mean wait for next new M6 may be 4 or 5 yrs from now.
