Ltcy Clutched May 5, 2009 Share May 5, 2009 When the previous Mazda 3 was newly launched, it was selling at about $78k... That was about 5 yrs back, if I recall correctly. Subsequently, the price dropped to about $50k+... Mazda tends to have high price for new launch models, and it will drop tremendously after a yr or two. Think the same will happen for the current Mazda 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramega 1st Gear May 5, 2009 Share May 5, 2009 Worst thing is, add $3k more (ie, $79k) can get the bigger brother Mazda6 from PI! As per this link: http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_...p?CarCode=10714 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic May 5, 2009 Share May 5, 2009 2 reason I can think of. 1) Mazda always sell their new car at a high price 2) Yen rising so the OMV high Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged May 5, 2009 Share May 5, 2009 That's a lot of money for that car. How much is the OMV..can't be very high right? [sweatdrop] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the same will happen for the current Mazda 3. While it is true that newly launched cars usually command a premium. But this pricing is a bit too much. As for the previous Mz3.....COE was very much higher than...it was over $20k. Yet it could be sold at a high $70k. Now with a lower COE, lower import tax, etc....the new one is selling at almost the same amount. But again...maybe the AD know something we don't and I'm sure there will be quite a few willing buyers. Edited May 5, 2009 by Silver_blade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueray Hypersonic May 5, 2009 Share May 5, 2009 hmmm ... 76k is Civic price, have to compare Mazda 3 OMV against Civic OMV to make a fair comparison. my guess is Civic has the higher OMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tas0577 1st Gear May 5, 2009 Share May 5, 2009 76k i rather do golf or Jetta...... or even Civic...... top up a few k, maybe got chance to hit camry.... lol Agree, I might as well spend on a Jetta, at least it is a Continental car, what is Mazda? Anyway, Mazda Motors really have bad service, not even interested to get a Mazda because of the lousy agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravan 5th Gear May 5, 2009 Share May 5, 2009 at this kind of price probably jetta makes the most sense. Even better than civic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
