RE: First time buyer. Need advice please.

Red taillights = i model
Black taillights = s model

I'd say the first (2) are 3s models 04-06, #1 is Titanium gray
#3 is a euro version (front plate), but it's very similar to the i
#4 is an 07 judging by the wheels, probably s model based on the foglights, sunroof 7 color keyed grille.

I have the black tail lights on my '07 i touring. i believe the last photo is the Galaxy Grey Mica.

Go to www.mazdausa.com where you can build different cars and view the exterior and interior in 360 degree views.

I'm about 30 minutes from Grand Rapids. Did you buy from East Mazda or Borgman Mazda (in Grandville)? How was your experience?

Thanks for identifying the vehicles, by the way.

Not sure which dealership it came from, I bought from Sterling Mazda here in Detroit (they've since been bought out by Gorno Mazda) As I buy on company discount, the sales people tend to not be that interested in my sales. (low profit margin for them) By the time I go into a dealership I know exactly what I want. (and know more than the salesperson anyway, so there won't be any info given by them that would change my decision.)

Well I just bought a 2007 Mazda3...The asking price was 18 something...I put $2000 down and brung my car down to 16 something...I am 18 and I was a first time buyer myself....I bought the car in Salisbury Maryland @ Mazda...They have a first time buyers program..Where they will finance young kids that are atleast 18 years of age...I bought the car, I didn't lease it out....My payments are $324.18 and my insurance is also $318..I love the car, they are short looking but, they have alot of space...But, leasing is always a good option also..Depending within the 3 or 4 year lease...But, if you decide you want to keep the car after 3 or 4 years you can buy the car out...But, don't forget some car dealerships only want you to much s much miles on the vechile...
