You are right Ikramerica, just got a confirmation today too late for me. Hopefully it wont change much for April, if you get an update please let me know.
2013 Touring with roof rails, bumper guard, and navigation. .9 financing $24,500 purchase price. Easy, happy transaction. Bought from Brian Kadar internet sales manager.
First time buying a Mazda and when I did my research I found it hard to believe that they do not mark up their vehicles all that much. I bought a 2014 FWD Mazda CX-5 Touring with the bose/moonroof package for $25,500 plus TT&L. I got about $500 under invoice but not sure if that is a good price or just an average one? Any thoughts anyone?
FYI - Just purchased ours in Northern California for $33.1K out the door (MSRP $31,490) not sure if it's a good deal but it's hard to get the dealerships to budge on price on this models (pretty high demand on this model).
We were hit by Sandy right as we were shopping for a new car (see mumnj.blogspot.com). We sold our 10 yr old used Chrysler to a disabled family member Sept '12. Hubby loved the CX-5 when he test drove it last year, my car is the Honda Odyssey Touring '07 (we have kids). I preferred the CRV but perhaps was biased as I drive and love my Honda mini van.
We've contacted a few NJ local dealers (Crystal & Maxon) about our situation and got poor response in getting a decent (ie not over MSRP) deal for the CX-5. Is there any hope for us? Hubby has his heart set on the CX-5 but we are limited in funds as every dollar we spend on the car is one less we can spend on rehabbing the house.
He wants a CX-5 GT with tech, roof racks and hitch hookup. We are AAA members and that gives us $1250 off MSRP but still the dealers try to ramp it up with all sorts of extras and fees. Hubby is the worst negotiator on the planet (ie doesn't negotiate) and I got a concussion during Sandy and have had a hard time trying to negotiate anything online or over the phone. I want him to give up on the CX-5 and just buy the CRV but he won't hear of it. So we have been car-less for 6 months and I've had it with him borrowing my van and he won't use a bicycle, not even locally.
Can anyone hook me up with a referral to a decent dealer or agent (we can drive 250 mi to get it) or we can transport it here to North/Central NJ. Are there any dealers with a heart locally that won't rack up the fees and charges? We have AAA & BJ's membership.
Do you have a Costco close by? If so, it is worth the annual membership to save on the car purchase. They have a purchase program that will take the hassle out of the process, and get a decent price. It is worth looking into.
Hi, just purchased the above model CX 5 in Zeal Red, Tan interior, on Monday for $27,300, MSRP was $29,830, this is fully loaded model except navigation, also included wheel locks, cargo cover, all weather mats. Purchased in NY where the doc fees are capped at $75, sales tax and DMV. I think I got a good price...but not sure...they told me I got over $1,000 under dealer invoice...
I really do not understand Mazda's incentive structure. Mazda offers a small $500 incentive for current customers but nothing for other potential buyers. It would seem Mazda would be better served to at least treat new customers the same as customers they already have. Personally, I have not purchased a Mazda for this very reason. I will not pay more simply because of my past buying history.
At this time, Mazda has virtually no incentives on the CX-5. Ford, on the other hand, has great incentives and financing on the Escape. Recently bought one in the DC area and got a price under invoice plus an additional reduction of $2,000 incentives and 1.9 percent financing. That blew every deal from local Mazda dealers away.
Anyone considering a CX-5 at this time might benefit from at least checking our the Escape.
What was the total msrp they quoted you before all the taxes and fees? Also, what fees did they throw into the price to get you to the $33, 627 OTD price? Thanks.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've tried trolling through previous posts and am wondering how to find the invoice price, or if there's a good rule of thumb for % below the MSRP to aim for? After having a hard time finding the CR-V EX-L AWD Nav equipped as I want it, I'm realizing that the 2014 CX-5 Grand AWD w/ Nav may be easier to find and a better deal to boot...but am trying to figure out what price range(s) are realistic to aim for. I'm in Montgomery County, MD, in DC suburbs.
I was quoted $30,700 plus tax, tags, and procesing fee, plus $60 for the mat for CX-5 AWD w/ tech in red. taxes are about $1931, tags $312, processing fee is $394, for a total of $33,397.
For the 2014 Mazda CX-5 AWD with Technology (Exterior: Blue) I was quoted an OTD price of approximately $32, 500. Is that a good price? I do like the Mazda CX-5 but was also contemplating the Ford Escape? Hyundai Santa Fe? Nissan Rogue? Any opinions from current owners would be appreciated. Thanks.
I was interested in Charles' post, too, because that looked like an excellent deal. I think I did almost as well. This morning, I bought a CX-5 GT AWD with Tech in Crystal Pearl White Mica from Putnam Mazda in Burlingame. MSRP was $31,490, invoice (obviously not their true cost) was $30,458 and I got $29,705. This equated to $32,798 after fees (all clearly explained) and hefty CA sales taxes. I was also trading in a 2000 Mercedes SUV with service lights on and mileage over 180,000 (value under $2000), and they eventually matched the price my mechanic was willing to pay for it, though that took awhile. I went into the negotiations knowing all the other dealerships within 50 miles that had the identical car (4 vehicles just down 101 in San Jose) so they knew I was happy to try elsewhere if I didn't feel I was getting a good deal. Overall a perfectly satisfactory experience.
Has anyone purchased a 2013 leftover recently? I know of a dealership that has one for sale still and it's been on the lot a heck of a long time. I am just wondering how low of a price to expect on something left over for so long.
I wanted to buy CX-5 but ended up with RAV4 becuase of ride quality & reliability . Past Monday I bought new 2013 RAV4 XLE FWD $22,000 + Tax Tag & title in Socal ( DCH toyota torrance internet dept ). I think I got awesome deal. This was less than TrueCar price and almost $2k below factory invoice price. This included $500 Toyota discount as I went with my credit union for financing.
Tried to do this and after I was done, said the time had expired or something like that. I wasted my time here and won't be doing it again. This really stinks!

How much does the tax, licenses, registration, etc cost in SoCal? Sorry I'm really just a newbie when it comes to these things. Thanks!

Love the car, very happy with it.
Please tell me if this sounds like a good deal at all
CX-5 touring AWD auto with just first payment tax and tag down $340/month for 36 months,15k miles/year?

This is the quote I got for being a AAA/Costco/BJ's member:
2014, GT, tech, silver, AWD, Trailer hitch, roof racks OTD $33,627, really???
Why are they even in business? Who is paying these people to stay in business?
They claimed that the membership discount is only $150 off so I might go back to the buying programs to complain about them.
Stop buying from hopeless companies and maybe they will go out of business. I believe I saw that they have BBB complaints and other negative reports.
Too bad they are the closest to me as the number 1 dealer is 28 mi away (not good for servicing right?)
GRRR...

I think it is a good price !
