Dealer has a 2009 5-door. manual for $16,800 +TTT. Any real issues I need to be aware of? I'm not interested in waiting for the 2010s to arrive.

Thanks. Nice forum.

 

None that I know of, my 08 is at almost 21K without any problems.

 

That sounds like a good deal to me. Mine was over $19k in 2004, TTL included, only option was SAB/SAC/ABS, which is now standard anyway.
And the 2010's are going to be a new model, if you haven't already seen... most think they are pretty ugly and don't know what Mazda was/is thinking. Only a few seem to like it.
I'd say, get it while you still can!!!

And welcome to the forum, Steve!!

 

there has gotta be something wrong with that 09 for 16k

 

Get a carfax before buying it.
That way you can tell if it was a former rental car which you might want to stay away from.
The price makes me a bit suspicious.
Bob.

 

It is prabably new, since that is about $1000 lower than S-plan pricing. And one of our local Mazda dealers has been Advertising S-Plan and Mazda has $1000 back on any new Mazda

 

I just paid $17,200 one week ago today. So it sounds like a good deal. Go for it. I love mine. By the way, never buy the first year redesign of any car. My 2002 Nissan Altima has been a piece of junk. So go for the 2009 and don't wait for the 2010.
