@RyanS219 do you mind sharing how much you paid and did you go with lease or finance?
@Jeff-TheBiz I plan to finance a Mazda 3 sport 2019 GT AWD, what would be the best time to start shopping? I have until now to August to get a car.
Thanks!

I don't have the exact number as I'm traveling for work, but it worked out to be about 32K for negotiated price including mandatory fees. I'm currently leasing for 48 months at 0.35%. I also purchased the tire warranty as Newfoundland roads are notorious for destroying tires and wheels. As a side note, I tried to get them to include a full set of winter tires/wheels but they wouldn't budge. They did however agree to upgrade my 2018 CX3 infotainment system to android auto ready for free.boing388 wrote: ↑ @RyanS219 do you mind sharing how much you paid and did you go with lease or finance?

The 2018 did not come with AppleCarplay regardless of the build date or delivery.. If you would like it, it is an option.
Finance rate went down .2% and the Spring event switched to "Mazda's Inspired Drive event" went up to $500.
Not sure what the program will be in August, but it will likely be better than now.boing388 wrote: ↑ @RyanS219 do you mind sharing how much you paid and did you go with lease or finance?

You should sign a bill of sale in late July, and then take possession in August, that you get to choose the program that benefits you the most.

Yikes. That’s not good. Nothing like that on my wife’s 2014 CX-5 with 62,000KM. The dealer mentioned at time of purchase a “lifetime rust protection” add-on (think they wanted $550?) without annual inspections. I wonder: would that have covered this type of rust? I assume any damage by way of stone chips that results in rust wouldn’t be covered but this obviously isn’t a spot susceptible to such damage. Very strange it would rust there.

While I don’t think it means only 5 years I’ll ask a friend who opted for this add-on when he purchased his CX-9 there and find out the specific terms and conditions.Kingsmen17 wrote: ↑ How is 'lifetime' defined? It could only mean 5 years...

Yes, it's only on one side too (which I guess is better?). Maybe there's a leak in the door??? Hopefully @Jeff-TheBiz can shed some light.100Pacer wrote: ↑ Yikes. That’s not good.

I would bring it in to service and have them get it look at by Mazda Canada.. unless it was scratched by something, I can't imagine they would let it fester to something much bigger.9394 wrote: ↑ Yes, it's only on one side too (which I guess is better?).

Quick question on inventories, etc. I'm looking to buy a pretty specific Mazda 3 Sport - GS, manual transmission, etc. I don't see very much at all on the dealer lots around me in manual for the trim I want. Will a dealer order a car in for me? If so are there generally extra fees or issues to deal with?
I was looking at getting something at the end of this month or next month so if it is something that can get ordered in I would probably need to start moving on it now, correct? Otherwise, I guess I should start moving on something on the lot before they go anyways?

The earlier you order the better the chances of getting one.gpw11 wrote: ↑ Quick question on inventories, etc. I'm looking to buy a pretty specific Mazda 3 Sport - GS, manual transmission, etc. I don't see very much at all on the dealer lots around me in manual for the trim I want.

The 2020 Mazda3 has already been alocated for build in August 19 so Sept delivery (almost the exact same car as the 2019) so the 2019s are finite now.. and if you want a stick, order it when you feel comfortable. Waiting is not going to help you at all.

I am currently looking into the Mazda 3 Sport GT Automatic and wondering what the max dealer incentive I could get for financing? Also wondering if someone could recommend the best Mazda dealer in the GTA?
Thanks
