Thankyou all for your feedback. I really appreciate it. I plan to call the other Mazda dealers. I also will check on the Hyundai Sonata.
I am not broke, but I know that if there is a crisis, sometimes money goes ALOT faster than you can save it. So, I don’t want top of the line anything.
I also checked into the Costco Auto Buying program. Apparently, Mazda will sell me the car for Invoice Price. That, and the 0% financing might work.
Thank you all again so much. I knew the Piggs would know about such matters.

To FLU: Well, it is perfect condition, BUT, things go wrong. Recently, I needed a new turn signal thing and a Master Cylinder. They had to order the Master Cylinder from Phoenix (which got delivered to Irvine, groan), and the turn signal had to be found at a junkyard, and was still $150. (New from dealer would have been $376) Thus, it took 2 1/2 days in the shop, just waiting on parts. It is a Mazda Protege 1995–136,000 miles. I have had it since 2000.
I want to buy a Mazda 3. They are still made in Japan. I just called them, and they said no to credit cards (conflict–when you buy a car there is no returning it, but if you buy on CC then you have 30 days to return) but they have 0% financing for 36 months, for qualifying buyers, which is me–I have a high FICO score.
Never had a car payment in my life (always buy used cars in cash) and I am SWEATING this. With a hefty car payment, it would restrict me to save for the house I want in the next few years. On the other hand, I work 2 jobs, and cannot have my car out of operation unexpectedly, and for days at a time. What a crossroads…..

RicechexParticipantOh good gawd. I guess facelifts are one of those things that you can cut out when gas prices, housing, LIVING becomes too expensive. Why is life always about looking good and having money? What about meaningful relationships? Hey…whoever posted the book—“Paradox of Choice”—thanks. I got it, and it is quite informative.
