New Car Pics
Just got back from gettin it tinted. There was a break in the clouds so I snapped a few pics!
So far, I am very happy with the car! This is the only small car I can comfortably fit in so that is saying a lot.

Congrats on the new Mazda. It looks good. Like I told you on your Veracruz thread, my wife and I purchased a CX-9 in April, and we absolutely love the Vehicle. Mazda's have really come along way in the last few years, and most people are suprised when they visit a Mazda dealership. ZOOM-ZOOM

Congrats, very nice car really.I'm wondering what your payments on the wagon would have been since I find them a little more attractive than the sedan.I read that handling and MT are crazy in that car! Happy ownership

We got a great deal. Lori owed 19.5 on the Maxima. Mazda offered her 15.5 on the trade. We took it to Carmax (North Houston) and they gave her 18.5. I got a cashiers check to cover the difference.
We got the Mazda for well below invoice since it was a left over 2007. No biggie because there are no changes to 08 for the 3s Touring model we got. Originally, I was going to get a base Mazda3i 5MT but it was an 08 and I ended up getting the Mazda 3s model for about the same price of 16K (includes destination)
I put down $1,500 and got a 24 month lease for $215 mo. with 15K mi.

Of course, this was also trading in the Maxima and in that case, the base Mazda3 payment was $396 for 72 months with no money down.
They said they were saving us money because the combined payment were less a month than we are paying now
Yeah I see how that would be nicer

You could almost get a 60 month lease on a Porsche for that kind of money (sorry, couldn't help myself)
