    This is such a great deal I am going to buy 5 of them and sell them on ebay!!!

    Seriously though, when it comes to new cars it is extremely difficult to determine what a "bargain" is in this way, as new cars very rarely sell for a fixed / advertised price.

    • adam557 on 05/07/2011 - 14:07

      Hey mate,

      I'm adam one of the Co-founders of CarJoy.

      Thats the problem we were having….so, that's why we created CarJoy.

      We really want transparency in the auto industry, so we decided to advertise our prices upfront and GUARANTEE them.

      Feel free to buy as many as you like!

    seems to be a good price, just a couple of hundred less than what can be haggled:
    example: http://www.ozmazdaclub.com/3-323-discussion/4237-mazda-3-pri…

    maybe good if haggling is not your style.

    • dvsbastard on 04/07/2011 - 13:23

      Except you also just lost any bargaining power on extras, or trade in.

      Unfortunately when it comes to such high ticket items, the only real way to get a bargain is by shopping around, comparing deals and eventual haggling.

      It's also why no one in their right mind enjoys car hunting! :P

      • battler on 04/07/2011 - 13:38

      • AT555 on 05/07/2011 - 14:28

        Hi dvsbastard,

        I'm Adam one of the co-founders of CarJoy.

        I can promise, even guarantee that you won't find a better price than this.

        You can still negotiate for any extras or trade in with our dealers. We just get you the best price for the base model.

        This is seriously the best price you will find anywhere. You need to remember that if a dealer is giving you a better price for a trade-in, he can only do this because he is upping the price of your new car!

        You can purchase this car using carjoy, and if you don't like the price that our dealer gives for your trade in, you are free to sell it privately or elsewhere!

        Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions on 1800 CAR JOY.

        Thanks,
        Adam

          Hi tchl6,

          You can read our price guarantee at CARJOY.com.au. Its open, honest and simple.

          I can promise our extras are at VERY competitive prices too.

          Other dealers can't match our prices because our customers purchase in bulk…..there are no catches. It's just a smarter way of doing things.

          Thanks for your comments.

    19,990 is manual, auto is 21,990. All in all, no cheaper than what you can get at a dealer. At least at a dealer if something goes wrong, you know who to go back to (in person) and complain. Who are you going to complain to here, some offshore person over the phone? no thanks

          I can promise you this is the best price going round, I can even guarantee it. We have been into other dealerships to test our prices and to be frank, they tell you to go away! We have done all the negotiating for you. If you happen to find a better price, we will beat it by $500! You can read about our price guarantee on our site.

          We can obtain these great prices for our customers because we use leverage the group buying power of individuals….we see it as the new way to buy a a car. Unbeatable prices with personalised service.

          I'm glad that someone has recognised it as a bargain on Ozbargain!

      This idea may work with cars but with houses, things that are worth more money over time ( given enough time for inflation to work its magic )are almost never sold on the cheap!

        +1

        jv's got a point. dealership margins are far higher than you seem to think. they earn from a sale on multiple levels, not just a simple 10% sale margin per se. its more like 10% margin on rrp, 5% dealer delivery, 3% rebate, 2% bonuses, miscellaneous fringe benefits like free company car for certain staff, free services.

        my best estimate is 15-25% margin on your normal driveaway price.

        edit: and the fact that new car dealerships are as fancy as they are… you'd be a fool to think they're just scraping by?

  • imp on 04/07/2011 - 16:52

    Just bought one of these in WA
    Paid $22990 drive away (auto). RRP is $23990. Couldnt get them down much and had to work to get it this low. They claimed that this is a 'Mazda special offer' and that the dealer's margin had been cut by Mazda to get this price.

    • issh on 04/07/2011 - 17:07

      you cant believe anything the car sales tell you, esp when they give you specific reasons why they cant lower their price and blame on (insert someone/company etc here). They always want to "help" you etc. This is just personal experience. E.g. Going from $500 max off (attached is a long story/lost of reasons why) to $7200 at the same dealership. After all, they lie for a living.

      Adam

  • kimmik on 04/07/2011 - 22:36

    given MY12 is around the corner, perhaps MY10 purchase for nearly same as MY12 price isn't the best idea.

  • Franky23 on 05/07/2011 - 08:31

    A similar deal could be negotiated with extras thrown in, especially on a MY10 model. However, it can be difficult to negotiate on cars that sell well like the Mazda3.

  • timmye on 05/07/2011 - 09:10

    Pretty sure the photos shown of the Mazda 3 on the website are not the NEO. Neo doesn't have fog lights or alloy wheels.

      Thanks for your comment.

      These are the photos we received from Mazda Australia Corporate. They are the 2011 Mazda 3 neo. However, some of them have extras which are not included in the base model. We have tried to state this in the fine print as best we can.

      Mazda typically don't take photos of just the standard car, as they always want you to purchase some extras!

    This can be a bargain or not depending on the person looking to buy.
    If you can negotiate well, not fall for car sales person's tricks, then you will most likely to negotiate a better price or atleast get some extras for free.

    Its an important point to note its a MY10, already a year or more old… Might be worthwhile to check what RRP from a dealer.

    Like most said here, RRP is a not the price you'd buy at. Unless you are really stupid.

    • chloden on 05/07/2011 - 11:25

      I think that the MY11 isn't built until later this year. Built date vs Compliance date is a bit of a scam, so be sure of what you are buying before signing anything, oh and the laws differ from state to state.

      • kimmik on 05/07/2011 - 11:32

        you mean MY12.

        they usually start building the next year's model in the middle of the current year.

    just came back from officeworks.
    They beat it 5%. Got it for $20890.50.

    Only Liverpool store has got 2 left. All others sold out. Think Officeworks got Ozbargained with this deal!

    Hi adam, could you clarify if it is MY11 or MY10?

      Hi Kimmik,

      Apologies for the confusion.

      I have confirmed with our dealership and all the models are 2011 built, so MY11.

      Any questions, just give our team a call on 1800 CAR JOY.

      Thanks for your interest,
      Adam

        Thats a decent deal then, i'm looking forward to your future offers.

        Can you give us any indication of the upcoming cars and prices at all? Maybe vw, peugeot, or ford?

        Thanks

          Thanks Kimmik.

          Thats our aim, to bring our customers UNBEATABLE deals.

          I can't give you an indication yet sorry….but trust me, they are coming!

          Yep, we are independent of any one dealer or manufacturer so you will see all types of cars on there shortly….

          If you have a car you want to see on there, 'suggest a car' on the homepage (www.carjoy.com.au) and if it comes up in the next two months, you will get an additional $150 off!

          Cheers,
          Adam.
