MSRP - $40,015
Sale Price - $35,495
Financing - 0% for 36 months
With Sales Tax, DMV and Doc Fee ($55) - $39,681 (out the door)
If I had not used the 0% financing, I would have gotten another $2,500 off. The 0% financing for the full price of the car (excluding tax and license) is worth more than $2,500.
I am hoping to get some of the Sales Tax back on my taxes at the end of the year (part of the Stimulus Package). Does anyone have information on how this works ?
I went through Edmunds to get Dealer Quotes from about 4 dealers. They were all responsive and provided prices on the phone. Since I knew the exact car I wanted, I ended negotiating on price only. Oakland Mazda gave the best price and were very easy to deal with. Everything was done on the phone with a scanned image of the Sticker and copy of the deal from his computer e-mailed to me. They didn't play any games but tried very hard to sell an extended warranty for $1,600+. It was an overall good buying experience with no surprises.
Sale price: $35495
Difference: $4186 in taxes and fees seems a bit steep - what state do you live in to pay that much? that's almost 12% of the price of the car...
currently looking for the same package you got (adding in wheel locks, roof rack, and splash guards) except no need to finance (will pay in cash) so if i can get another $2500 off the sale price you got (=$32995), i think i might take that deal. thanks for the tip!
Sales tax in California is now 9.75% in the county that I live in. DMV fees have also gone up to $495. The only extra fees were $55 for Doc Fee and $7.50 for Tire recycling.
The 0% APR for 36 months plus $1,500 Customer Cash seems to have been extended through July 31st according to the Mazda website, so I assume that the $4,000 allowance to dealers has also been extended. If that is the case, you should be able to get about $8,000 off MSRP when paying in cash or getting your own financing.
Last Friday, I just bought the wife a loaded GT AWD 09 CX-7 using the 4K cash back from Mazda and $1K loyalty from Sentry West too. Was pretty much the dealer invoice cost but didn't have to wait until Duvall's tax raise costs me more.
Welcome to the family.
Also, is AWD a recommended option in Minneapolis? Several folks said not really, since the city does an swesome job of clearing the snow and my wife can work from home on the really bad days.
Buying a car for the S-Plan price is invoice. If a dealer submits an S-Plan coded sale to Mazda, the price cannot differ from what Mazda has designated as the S-Plan price.
When the dealer is audited by Mazda, and it is discovered that the sale price is more, or less then the actual invoice price on an S-Plan deal, the dealership can be subject to heavy fines or other forms of punishment due to breach of contract.
In Connecticut, CX-9 inventory is extremely low, especially the GT's. I would know, because I am a CT dealer. Dealers that I know of have not been willing to go under invoice to sell one, since there are not enough to go around. If you happen to get a dealer to go under invoice, then take it. More power to you!
BTW, what type of CX-9 are you looking for?
MSRP: 35,300
Price: 28,000 +TTL
And for the poster in MN - get the AWD!
I got a Black Cherry CX-9 with Navigation & Rear Entertainment (MSRP $41,015) about 2 weeks ago in the Bay Area for $35,495 + TTL with 0% Financing. If I had not taken the 0% the dealer was willing to reduce the price by another $2,500. Black Cherry CX-9s are very hard to come by. I went about it by searching inventory through the Mazda website then contacting the dealers through Edmunds. The dealer who gave me the best deal (Oakland Mazda) actually got the car from another dealer, Fremont Mazda. I was able to negotiate the price over the phone and get an e-mail with a copy of the Sticker and a screenshot of the deal from the salesman's computer before going to pickup the car. The July incentives are the same as June: $4,000 dealer cash or $1,500 rebate plus 0% financing. You also get an additional $1,000 rebate if you are a current Mazda owner. Most dealers in the Bay Area are giving $8k off MSRP (I was at one yesterday). If you take the 0% financing, you should get at least $5,500 off MSRP.

If the $23,683 is the price on the web site will they discount for a trade?
thanks
I'm in Mass. There's a few hundred miles on it, maybe that's why the deal is so good
$38872 includes TTL.
Dealer is in Rockand County, NY
I'm looking for a GT under 30K (before TTL- I'm in Long Beach, CA). I can find 2008's in this price range but am thinking that, if I hold off for a bit longer (til the 2010s arrive), I could get a 2009 for this price.
Thank you in advanced for your thoughts and ideas.
I've been looking as well and notice that the color choices/options are getting thin. I can see prices dropping a little bit later on if you're not picky.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
just picked up my Black Cherry GT AWD/Nav/moonroof/roof rack/mud guards/mats on friday....LOVE IT!!! you have to get one of these....they are worth every penny!
Was shopping at Costco and noticed a brochure on their Auto save program - pre negotiated prices with specific dealers across the Country. What the hell - gave it a try and next day had a quote from the dealer in my Zip for $200 below invoice, it was the lowest price i got (one of the above 3 dealers, different sales manager).
If you want to save a LOT of time and still get a pretty good price, check this out.
Goto Costco.com and type autosave in the search box. Have to be a Costco member, which i am. Even if you are not, the m'ship ($50) is well worth the savings. The discount is the same for a Gold or Executive ($100) member,
Hope it helps.
They may discount a base model 10-13% while they discount the fully loaded one 17-19%
The issue is that they can move base models with no problems. It's the loaded ones(especially in this economy) that sit longer and incur larger and longer debt payments by the dealer.
Say for instance they pay 100 dollars a month in interest payments for a base model but pay 175 a month in interest for a loaded car. X the 10 months they have been sitting there, they are 750 more in the hole than on a base model.
When we bought our cx-9 awd gt with lots of stuff in it a few weeks ago, the salesman made the comment several times that its all about volume for the loaded cars. He said that he can sit on a base because people will buy them.
Keep in mind, production was cut on all cars back in September 2008. There werent many produced. We found even when we bought 3 weeks ago, there was not much selection. We had to drive 100 miles bypassing a dozen dealers that were closer to get what we wanted in an 09.
On that note, I read in article in the Star Ledger(NJ paper) that the price for used cars from 2008-2009 are going to be inflated due to the lack of production. The dealer they interviewed said he couldnt get newer explorers and expeditions on his lot since nobody bought them new.
MSRP - $7-8k (my own experience for Black Cherry GT AWD/Nav would argue $6-7k unless you can go to Castle in MD which apparently has some kickin' deals)
Invoice is typically $3k off MSRP so you could also say:
Invoice - $4k (dealer cash) OR
Invoice -$1.5k plus 0% financing (36mo with a good credit score - i think 680 was mentioned above).
i could be off by a few hundred bucks here or there depending on region, color, trim, and options but i think that's the ballpark for 2009 CX-9s. just my take....
Stormy Blue Mica w/Sand interior AWD Touring CX-9. Moonroof/Bose, roof rack and wheel locks. $28,280 including $1000 loyalty rebate and $4000 mfg to dealer incentive.
Can you please emial me the details of the person that you dealt with at Brown's Fairfax Mazda?
I really need to pull the trigger by next month.
