New Mazda 3 Owner

[Skeets]

I just found this forum yesterday and it's already been a great help.

I've just leased a 2007 Mazda 3 GS (automatic) in Carbon Grey Mica from Kingston Mazda. They're driving it from Oakville because there weren't any to be found in this part of Ontario. I pick it up sometime next week!

What should I expect when I go to pick up the car? What's the best way to try and get a few extras thrown into the deal?

Also, does anyone know if I'm allowed to tint the windows on a leased vehicle? If so, how much should it cost?

Thanks for the great community! Zoom-Zoom!

You shoulda got the extras before signing.

Welcome Skeets!
The dealership already has you business, so why would they try to add stuff to make the deal seem better. As Ken said you should have worked on that before you signed.

The info on tints and a leased car can be found if you use the search feature

A car with some extra km on it... :)

Too late now.

Thanks for the search tip.

I'm really just hoping for a few keychains and maybe an oil change as freebies. I'm happy with the deal I managed to work out with them as far as pricing and options go.

I saw the thread on the CX-7 stubby antennas. Are they something most dealerships keep in stock?

you can ask them if they will give you a free oil change
or a keychain if they have them!

doesn't hurt to try it

they still want u to come to them for service!

Just ordered up some tint, and got the dealership to throw in a CX-7 stubbie.

I pick it up Wednesday or Thursday!

I pick it up tomorrow.

25% front and rear tints are being applied as I type.

Other mods to come:
- 17" rims and rubber (still need to decide which style and company for both of these as well as find someone to install them)
- HID heads
- I'm thinking of dropping it just a touch with the MS suspension package.
- rear lip spoiler

I can see how this becomes addicting.

Yea, just don't go overboard...before you know it, you'll be selling your house for mods :whoa
