Update from me: I finally have sale price, fees, and trade on separate lines for the 2019 Mazda Mazda3. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.

Private-party deals fail on paperwork, not vibes. Meet at a bank or dealer title office for the 2019 Mazda Mazda3, not a parking lot at night. That's where I'd start. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. If they only talk monthly I'm walking.
