Unfortunately there are alot of fees for buying a car through a dealership and you have to pay them. My dealer admin fee was $390, so yours dont look 2 bad.

hey... bought a Mazda 3s Sedan a little over two weeks ago...

it is on its way right now, and the dealership just called and said it has left Japan and should be here in Florida by Friday or Monday at the latest, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Anyways, I got mine in Black with:

Sport Auto Tranny
Sport Package (17" & Side sills)
Sunroof and 6-CD Package
Xenon and Tire Pressure Monitor Package
Side Air Bags&Curtains/ABS Package
Wheel Locks
Rear wing spoiler
The Auto-dim rear-view mirror w/ temp./compass/homelink on it (yes... no point to it, but hey it is my first new car!!)
Cloth w/ Red Inserts (it looked cooler than just plain black leather.. plus black leather shows wear so easily!)
Sunroof wind deflector

Got pretty much everything except leather and navigation

Got mine for MSRP... which came to $21,425 before taxes... I understand if they couldn't budge on the price of the car... I saw that invoice was not much lower than MSRP... but I managed to get $1000 more for my trade (96 Honda Accord EX) than the blue book says it is worth... so I feel comfortable

We figured it out and after my trade ($5000), the car comes to $16425 before taxes, and I got a 3.9%APR (my dad cosigned, I'm only 17 and dont have credit yet.. heh)... and with taxes my monthly payment should be around $270/mo. for 72 months, which isn't too bad

I can't wait till Friday, but I dont wanna get too excited because it probably won't get here because some freak storm will blow the boat off course or something

I'm just looking for pics of a black M3 and ones (any color) with the wing spoiler.... cause I havent seen any yet... and I wanna stare at them until I get mine... ha... such a loser

Wow you guys are spending a lot on a compact car....
I'd rather buy an midsize
