2011 Mazda 3 buy ko na or wait for the 2nd generation

[Bawawaw29]

If u are really decided on buying the current gen Mazda 3 then eto gawin mo:

1. Ask 4-5 Mazda Agents for the best price they could give you, I got my 2.0 at 70K discount. Pinag away-away ko ung mga agents in giving me the best discount they can offer.

2. Search for the Bank with the lowest Interest rate. Bank Auto Loan will always be better than in-house fianancing. Trust me on this or do the math.

3. Purchase the car on the dealer who gave you the highest discount using the bank loan that gave the lowest interest.

4. Congratulations! enjoy your ride

Thanks for your advice impulze, parang dun na nga ako papunta sa in house na Low DP, nakausap ko na Makati, Quezon Ave and probably next week e Greenhills. So far mazda makati mababa sa DP pero pare parehas sila ng monthly 17K plus plus. Siguro papakiusapan ko tong si mazda makati kahit bawasan yun monthly 16800 pwede na ko dun wag lang 17,594.

huwag na huwag ka mag in house financing TAGA ang interest un kumpara sa bank loan. take the advise of impulze, sa bank ka magloan at kumuha ka sa sales agent na malaki discount pero sa bank ka magloan for your ride. NEVER EVER sa dealerships or in-house financing.
sa bank mas mababa ang monthly amortization mo kumpara sa in-house financing.

+ 1 Million!

Aside from huge discounts and freebies you can get also, I saved approx. 100,000 pesos on interest payments when I availed a bank loan instead of in-house financing for a Mazda 3.

Mga sir, clarification lang. Pag sinabi niyo ba in house financing eh yun mga pinapasa nilang loan sa preferred bank nila, such as east west bank? Or you are referring to in house talaga na Mazda financial services (parang yun sa toyota financial nila?)

Kasi yun ahente ko, malabo kausap, porket Union bank ang unang nag approve sa akin, pinipilit na ako kumuha dun...ang taas ng dp, 120k plus 15++ sa Mazda 2, mas mahal pag Mazda 3. Sabi kasi sa akin, unahan din daw yun bangko kaya Union bank lang daw pwede...

Bawal po sales agent dito.

[Bawawaw29]

na deny kasi ko kay PSbank e, gusto ko nga sana i bank financing. pero baka lipat ako bpi o bdo.

pag bank financing lang, mas mataas ang cash out kasi insurance at chattel hindi free.

salamat buti bukas na ulit itong tsikot.com

*sir buwawaw, sir did you ask for the quote for the V model? Did you haggle sa 60K downpayment? Plan ko din po kasi mag pa quote eh...ok na sa akin yun 17K monthly basta mababa yun downpayment... Thanks in advance

Ano ba pinagkaiba ng V sa S bro? Ayaw mo at least 20% DP sir? Saket rin sa bulsa 17k per month ah :-)

[renzo_d10]

Laki interest nung 17k a month.

Wala na daw 60k DP ngayon, check mo Mazda makati 1.6S variant kaya ang 80k DP, hanapin mo si Bong Ladrica pare.

[hench7]

*thanks baw... did you try the V model? Yun 80K ba is 17K monthly yun? How about the V model, did you get a quote? sensya na daming tanong...

V model has 16" rims, black out meter (optitron), auto climate control for aircon, dual airbags and fog lights.

Had the same dilemma and was suppose to make a thread when I found this.

What do you guys think, should i go for the 2011 1st gen model or wait possibly until mid next year for the 2nd gen? In terms of the look, i like them both. I don't really mind the big grin that the 2nd gen has. Is the 2nd gen a big upgrade compare to the 1st?better FC, engine, power... and is the current 1.6 m3 model really underpowered?

Any news about the 2nd gen release here?

[Bravoexo]

Wait... the advantages of the SkyDrive engine is worth it.

[ridihil]

Depends actually. As for the 1.6 models, other than the different body style and interiors, technically, the two would be the same. They have the same 105-hp engine and 4-speed auto with manual shift. As for the 2 liter models though, the new 3 will feature a 5-speed automatic as compared to the older one's 4-speed auto with manual shift. So the 2 liter model should really be more fuel efficient. If the looks of the new 3 don't really matter to you a lot, then the old 3 would suffice. I don't think they'd be releasing the Skydrive engine and transmission here yet for we have poor quality gas that could ruin the skydrive engines. Well, that's how I see things.
