Question

How much off should I expect to get of MSRP for this Mazda3?

MSRP is $26,570. This model is the best offered with all the options if that helps with dealing.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can get it for about $24,000.  

Plus, in some areas of the U.S., if you have good credit, you can also qualify for 1.9% financing for 36 months or 3.9% financing for 60 months.

If you are going to pay that much for a Mazda 3 and can drive a manual transmission, make sure you check out the MazdaSpeed 3.

Answer 2

Check http://carsdirect.com they will give you an automated, immediate quote for the configuration you're looking for.  Keep in mind they are basically a car broker, so you should be able to beat their price if you cut out the middle man and haggle yourself.  But if you don't like doing that, carsdirect is a good service.

Answer 3

there is normally 10 to 12% markup in between msrp and invoice.  and at invoice the dealer still makes 'holdback'.  so theoretically you can buy the car for under 24,000.  you should also make yourself of any incentives that are available right now.
