MSRP: $38730
Paid: $34795 + tax, title, etc.
0% for 36 months
I know there was an extra $1000 MAC cash on the Sport model however, the Invoice to MSRP difference between a base Sport and loaded up GT was already $600, so not having that rebate cost me $400 more but I got all the options that I really wanted.
Also, between the discounts, closeout bonus cash and the price increase for the 2008 model, the 2007 comes out to be at least $3500 cheaper.
Cheers!
Anyone out there have the Aug incentives?

CX-9 Sport AWD Copper Red Mica, no extras.
$28,500 including destination and all fees.
This included the $1000 rebate that I wasn't aware of.
Can someone tell me if the CX-9 has a switch to lock the AWD so it has a 50/50 front/rear power distribution. A number of other crossover SUV's have this feature but I haven't seen it mentioned for the Mazda CX-9. Thanks!

Secondly, if you have you CX-9 special ordered, does the dealership still receive the holdback? Since it's not going to sit on the lot at all, I wasn't sure if holdback would be cut-out of the process altogether.
Thanks!
If you special order a CX-9, the dealer will receive the holdback. The factory has no way of knowing what orders are special orders vs. stock orders.
I don't know why holdback is such a major issue with some people. Dealers have to stay in business somehow. You really think you can stay in business selling vehicles at $100 to $200 over invoice?
I totally agree with you. There's an expected profit by the dealership. If they didn't profit, they wouldn't have desire to stay in business. However, it's nice to know if they're making an additional $700. For me, it's nice to know that if they're selling a car for $1,000 over invoice, they're actually pulling in about $1,700. You can't expect to pull every dime from them, but it's helpful to know the real numbers.
Once again, thank you for replying so quickly.
My advise, offer $500 over invoice. That is a good deal. I am a Mazda dealer, and we have been letting them go at $500 over. If we can get more, we do!
The moral of the story is that the first dealer actually did the selling for the second dealership.
I would have felt a little uneasy trying to get it for $500 over invoice, but now that I know it's really 1) $500 over invoice plus holdback and 2) that you say CX-9s are going that close to invoice, I'm more comfortable.
Thanks!
MSRP is $34,740; dealer's offer to me is $33,566 and this is after telling him that I got an offer at invoice... I just don't get it.
will be second car purchase this month trying to see how low i can get.

I live in NY (Long Island) and am wondering about availability of FWD and '07. Not interested in AWD but I see there are more of those on dealer lots. For those buying and looking to buy, is that because people want the FWD and are buying them more quickly or is Mazda making more of the AWD? Also, if I want FWD and '07 am I out of luck or will I be able to wait and get one, hopefully with better incentives.
Thanks.
Check out Mazda of Lodi (it may be a bit far depending on where in LI you are) but they seem to have a handful of Sport FWD. Manhattan Mazda looks like they've got 2 but neither of these guys have been easy to deal with via email... They want to schedule an appt and have you come in. I don't know what your preference is but that certainly isn't mine.

-Just curious about whether that is with or without AWD?
Note: I have only been able to find 2 of these vehicles as configured w/in 150 miles. 1 white, 1 blue.
Does anyone know if Mazda is going to up their incentives for September? They only offer the 0-5.9 / 36-60 mo in the Penn/Jersey area through 9/4/07.
Go with White (IMHO). Looks really upscale on the CX-9.
Mazda has some ridiculous incentives already on the '07 CX-7's. This indicates that whatever incentives they could offer on 2007 SUV closeouts, they've already offered them. Besides, inventories aren't very high on the CX-9s. I doubt if there will be more money offered past September.
If you're okay with the Sport trim (cloth seats), there is an extra $1000 MAC cash.
In my 2 weeks of ownership, this is one SWEEEEET ride!!

My local dealer told me that low APR financing is not available on 2008 CX-9.
Could you pls send me the link for APR incentives on 2008 CX9?
Thanks
Off to check out the Hyundai Veracruz tonight to decide which one we will get!
Thanks,
There are things on the Veracruz we really liked. The roof air vents for the rear passengers and the map lights in the rear are great. The lit cupholders/cubby storage areas are really nice as well. I didn't like how the front end was so rounded on the Veracruz (like the sleeker lines of the CX-9). We also don't like the fake wood trim in ANY car, so we really like the Sport CX-9 with the black "piano" trim.
The Mazda just seemed more refined. Good luck in your hunting!

Hot off the Press! This is on the September 2007 issue of Popular Mechanics:
New Crossover Cars: Comparison Test
"Roomy, sporty, hot-selling crossovers are elbowing in on minivans and SUVs. We test six of the new family haulers on the track and in real-life driving (with video for each!)"
The Contenders:
Honda Pilot
Subaru Tribeca
Mazda CX-9
Toyota Highlander
Saturn Outlook
Hyundai Veracruz
CX9 WINS! Check it out
Did they include anything funny to the MSRP, such as advertisement fees?
A local dealer wants to charge $250 for ad fees + $400 for registration fees. In our area, CX-9 don't last long in the lots and it is hard to negotiate off those prices.
They haven't heard of financing specials for 2008s yet.
1. - Timing of 08 availability?
2. - Probable 08 pricing compared with deals on 07? Of course dealers will tell you that there will be no deals/incentives/promo's etc. but they will still have to move volume and many will have grabbed the 07's.
3. - Differences other than larger engine/power/torque .... for example; have they improved the braking (criticized by several reviewers)?
Any input??
