hey, someone wanna send me the card saying "120% kbb etc etc"? i wanna trade it in for a quad coupe.

i'd get at least 10k for mine because of that. and i only owe 12k . . .

gimme!

haha, i dont think u need the actual paper to get the deals. BTW, Im thinkin that their "120%" is that percentage of trade-in, which for my car at least is about 40% less than private party

After some thought, this flyer has gotten me thinkin about a new car, and some mroe thought has directed me away from saturn, unless I cant get the deal I want from Mazda...Tomorrow's project - Try to get a new Mazda 3s.

450 is for an AWD V6 VUE with no money down and just ur incentives. for an ion you are lookin in the 250 range. they have some nice deals on ion 2 sticks with a sunroof, 16s, and power package. its called the sport package. the FWD 4 cylinder stick VUE has a nice sport package too. they are trying to boost sales in stick cars.....check that out ray. you should be like 250-275/month

Yeah, Im eatin lunch now, then headin out deal huntin. Imma be checkin out an ION2, Mazda3s, and Scion(xA or xB)

the satty, mazda, and scion dealers are practically next to each other so that shouldnt be a prob.
yeah, $250/month is about my max.

ewww, those scions are NASTY lookin... id rather have a honda element i think :/

ok, here's what happened. I went to the satty dealer and test drove an ION1m w/ A/C(only option). It was ok, the shifter was nice and it was roomy, but the interior fit and finich sucked balls and i still cant convince myself that I like the way it looks. price: w/ $3K down and 3.9% financing - $170/month

Then it gets interesting. I go to the Mazda dealer and try out a 3i(the one with the 148hp 2.0) and i liked it a LOT. I also tried out a 3s(160hp 2.3) and while there is a power difference it is almost negligible for the economy car that it is. The handling is AWESOME. The ride is a bit rough but not bumpy, very BMWesque. I love the styling and the price w/ the same down payment and financing would be $238/month.

Bottom line, I just dont think i can convince myself that the ION is worth buying, just cuz its gonna be quite a bit cheaper. Besides, we know Saturn doesnt haggle, but My Grandfather knows the ppl at another Mazda dealership so I could probably get that price near $200/month for the Mazda.

Oh yeah, I also went to the Scion dealership and it was a joke. The dumbf**k salesman didnt know anything bout the car cept that you could get rims and neons with it, and that they are selling likt hotcakes

didnt seem like it...They didnt have any manuals in stock, and from his attitude I decided not to ask for a test drive...And after really seeing it up close I dont think I could see myself driving one. Not to mention the xA's invoice is under $12k and they wanted like $14,500 for it

hmmm, here's sumthin i never noticed...A mini Cooper is a little less than the 3s. Never even thought about it due to price, but i didnt realize they were so affordable. Prolly go test one of em out this week.

well forget that bright idea. Just found out that it only has 4 seats. For some reason i thought it had 3 back seats...
