So there is $1,250 in profit in the car, BEFORE any rebates. You'll have to find out if there are any rebates available, I believe Mazda has some on the 2012 Mazda3 already.
Also, be sure to get the breakdown of the price in WRITING. Do not negotiate on 'payments per month'
Based on the above I would do the following:
Your offer:
$19,000 + $1,595 delivery + 5% GST+ $100 AC Tax = $21,725 is my offer, ON THE ROAD. I want to see a pruchase agreement that shows $21,725 final price. Don't worry how they get there, as long as that's the final price. If you're financing, THEN do the math yourself to determine what the price per month should be, given the rates they give you.

Once you get that final offer of $21,725 (or whatever you come to), go t

put in $21,725 as the vehicle sales price, a zip of 59484 (this is important, you need to chose a state with zero sales tax, you already included gst in the above calc).
with a 5% finance rate over 60 months (5 yrs) this is $409 per month, as an example.
if you're doing a trade in, that's a whole other issue, of course. For the purpose of calculating the payment (
to make sure the dealer isnt hiding anything on you), reduce the purchase price by the DP
