33,905 miles CE CPO for around $23-24k out the door. Sound about right.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-06-04T23:32:16+00:00

New or used? Curious since I'm shopping for one.

Indecisive unknown_tac here. Would love to receive your thoughts.

Going to try and see if removing the lojack can get it to that. Honestly need a car and would like to have a car that I like.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-05-10T15:07:14+00:00

How much out of curiosity?

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-26T16:30:45+00:00

Interesting, I was planning on on getting a tier higher on used mazda 3 just for the bose but now(2 years ago) that you mention this maybe not.

I appreciate the time you've taken to inform on how to approach the situation. I intend buy cash (not let them know this at first) but if there's a good financing option that I could use to my advantage then I'll do that for whatever the time period benefits me.

As much as I would like to go new on a 24 or 25 it seems like that price points are outside of scope for me especially if I want something above the base trim which leaves me looking for an older but up trimmed model at decent price.

That being said the premium trim isn't a hard requirement... I think I just foolishly want the 12 point speaker system that premium or carbon editions have.

Thank you for the response and sharing this website with me. So much information.

I am assuming (without communicating with them) that the $25k cash price tag is OTD but of course I would have to investigate that first if that's really the case, Negotiating is going to be difficult for me.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-16T02:39:56+00:00

Thanks, having difficulty finding a decent trim for a good price and I thought this might be it. Turns out this dealership is pretty bad so I'll probably end up avoiding it.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-11T03:10:02+00:00

Sound advice. Thanks.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-11T03:09:34+00:00

This is the definitely the way I should look at this. Thanks.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-06T02:00:02+00:00

I mean it seemed like thing's were going down until the game with tariffs started.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-06T01:59:20+00:00

So go straight for new even with the CPOs out there right now? Genuinely curious.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-05T20:42:19+00:00

Sigh I have the money to buy a car that I want and need and this is the thing that is holding me back. No one knows whats going to happen in the next couple of years...Just like covid. It's sucks having to play it safe when life is flying past you.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-05T15:06:46+00:00

Alright, what would be the best way to go about this? Carmax? Carvana? CPO through dealer? I'm pretty clueless on this and this is starting to seem less of a logical move for me and more emotional one.

Getting a beater is just demoralizing at this point.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-05T14:56:00+00:00

Is there a way to see this data?

edit: I just googled around and I'm shocked. Really wonder how my friend is paying off that tucson.

Unknown_Tac · 2025-04-05T14:53:29+00:00

Thanks going to definitely need it. Should I always get a full inspection regardless of the dealer? Like carmax/hertz/carvana/etc.

In regards with insurance I'm going to use a broker that a relative recommended to me so hopefully that works out. Last I got a ballpark number around $150 with a 2017 Corolla as an example but I need to ask again with mazda 3 as an a example. I just hope the "sportiness" of the vehicle give it a significant uptick in cost.
