One of my coworkers introduced me to this site. And I thought this would be a great place to meet other Mazda owners and get feedback on a few things.

I currently am driving a 1999 Subaru Forrester. Booooo! I know but it's great in snow. Anyway on March 7th, I am going out with my father to get a brand new 2009 black cherry metallic Mazda6 Grand Touring. Problem is, we don't know where.

Today I sent out emails to the 3 main dealerships (Lakewood, Burt, and Gateway) with my exact car specs (I send the window sticker even) and asking them for their perks and best price. Rather than having the hassle of negotiating and not being able to shop around I thought this was the best option.

Anyway, what I would like from you guys (and gals):

1. Which dealership do you recommend and how would you go about getting the best price from them. I have the exact car I want and I don't care if they have to custom build it and ship it from the factory. Maintenance service, customer service, etc. I want the skinny on each of these dealerships.

2. For any other 2009 Mazda6 owners, what are your registration fees and insurance in Colorado? I am lucky enough to have my dad get this car for me as a college graduation gift but I am responsible for everything else except for the car itself. I know my rates for insurance will be higher seeing as I am 23, but a good ball park estimate would be extremely helpful.

I appreciate your help, and hope to post pics soon as soon as I get my car!

Burt Mazda is going to be the best choice out of those. We have a few members on here who work there. They may be able to get you a deal.

Soqrbrad, I forwarded you email to my new car manager and to Doc for you.

I bought my car from Mazda of Lakewood, but in my opinion they don't have the selection that other dealerships have. I only have experienced Lakewood, but any dealership you go to would love to work with you, and you will want to make sure they know that you are a CMZC member.

Good luck with your car hunt and welcome. I think you might be our first 2nd gen 6 here. I got my 6 at McDonald, agree with above and you should get good treatment at Burt via Josh.

Burt Mazda is your best choice! Their service manager is excellent, they have a great sales team, aka Turbojetta aka Josh. Also, since they are one of our sponsors, you'll get discounts on your services!

GOOOOO BURT!

Welcome to the club! See Josh at Burt Mazda. He is an awesome person to deal with. I bought my Speed from him. Burt rocks! Hope to see you posting pics of your new 6 soon!

Looks like it's almost unanimous for Burt. I am going to wait for all the offers to come trickling in along with any incentives and then count down the days until the 7th. So far I have a quote from Lakewood, and the lady from Gateway says that they should have one to my by sometime this afternoon. Hopefully I can get one from Burt as well sometime today.

Thanks everyone!!

i took my car to Burt Mazda once, they needed my car so they gave me a rental for a few days. The rental car, while under warrenty mind you, has been charged to me. I have called and sent a fax and as of yet have they reversed the charges!

I know there working on it, the other thing however, is that incentives will change on the second of march, so the same deal may not be vaild!

http://www.mazdamotorsports.com/ is an option if you can provide proof of intent to compete with it, or have been competing with a Mazda, you can get the car at invoice at participating dealers through the "S-plan"
