New the local ford dealer would only go as low
as 18k (all financing charges included) vs 12 for the kia. Remember I cant just look at price, as I dont qual for low cost financing.
thanx,
bill

New guess maybe with tax, tag and all that other crap
especially if they didn't have a low end model..which alot don't carry anyway. Only was one of them that I saw when I was looking. There were 3 of the Mazda's in base config within 75miles of me...out of probably 200 available.

Biggest issue is finding stick..since auto is nearly 1k more...but they are hard to find.
