Hey there. I recently went to my local Mazda dealership to purchase a Mazda 6s. I got to the dealership and found a 6s that is pretty much everything I want. It's Lapis Blue Metallic (very sweet looking, although I have to say the Grey is nice too) and it has every single option possible (which is what I wanted) for $26,430. The one thing it has that I DON'T want is an automatic transmission. However, when I asked the dealer what the chance of finding the same exact car with a manual tranny, he said "very slim." He told me that if I wanted a manual version of the same exact car, he wouldn't be able to get me one for a few months, if that. He said I could find a 6i with the same options but not the 6s so I should just get this car while it's available. So my questions to all of you is this:
Is this true for any other prospective buyers out there? I mean, the salesman seems like a nice guy, but I don't know if he's just jerking me around thinking I'm just some 19 year old kid he can rip off.
Also, I know that the hatchback is supposed to come out later this year (summer 2003, at least from what I've read); and to be honest I actually want the hatchback MORE than I want the sedan. IF I DO actually have to wait a few months for a manual on the sedan, do you all think I should just wait for the hatchback version and get a manual with that? And does anyone know roughly when the hatchback is supposed to be released in the USA (NJ area)? They can only hold the car until Friday (January 10); so if someone could get back to me with some advice soon, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
