First of all have you received the loss leaders I snail mailed you? If so, how do they compare to your local loss leaders?

I think your experience warrants a NEW separate LOSS LEADER FAQ - How to get your car for UNDER invoice thread. I wanna hear ALL the details!!!

I am curious too, how did you get the car for uber cheap?

Congrats... what color? Also do tell about how you snagged the loss leader car. Did they try to give you the run-around? Did you have to wake up at the crack of dawn?

Glad you finally chose a car! It's usually somewhat difficult to get the loss-leader price, but I'm glad RossMAN was able to give you some tips, that is a great deal. Enjoy it!! :D I think this car was a much better choice for you than the Tiburon.

Ain't that the truth.

Mazda 6 > Hyundai Tuburon

Actually, that price isn't all that good. Papers were advertising all Mazda 6's for Invoice... so you really only got $500 off

m2kewl: i like it without the spoiler. it looks classy rather than ricey imo.. ;)

NutBucket: As for rims.. I'm thinking of getting alloys sometime next year, but I'm loving every part of it for now... It was much wiser for me to get the base model (trim i) and then installing the alloys separately. Rather than spending an additional $1500 for the factory package which includes alloys and other crap that I don't need/want.

it's fun to drive a 2.3 liter 160hp-er in stick. it's got quite a pep because the car's pretty lightweight for it's pack. (160hp @ only 3300lbs)

Again, nice car. Not too fond of the red backlighting - kind of reminds me of a Pontiac, but sweet car none the less man!
