I have a great Mazda 3 here right now if she wanted a used one. http://www.tristarmercedes.ca/browse...age=&x=53&y=16 figure on about $1500 shipping out west. so you can likely should be able to find the same thing for the same money in Calgary.
It's a 2008. Shye says they still have some '07s available but don't give the two $500 discounts on those. She's not in Calgary - in Edmonton. I'll mention the used Mazda 3 to her, though.

About those deals on financing, at some time I'd like to ask you about those, because I tell my clients that they're not free money. I'd like to ask you how they work and such, but not now.

So, 3% on 23K is $690. Are you saying that if I go in with her and we offer $690 less, then that would be a reasonable thing to do? I guess that it's probably 3% on 22k because of the 1K in discounts, therefore offer 3% less on 22K, which is $660. Would that be reasonable?
