This is an incredibly good time to buy a car.
I am debating between that and a local used one from a private seller. It is a 2007 Grand Touring with 16,200 miles. This one has leather and a DVD player. He is asking 14,750 but I think I might be able to get him down to 14,000.
I don't really care for those other options. What I DO want is a moon roof, hence the Touring trim.
Which do you think is the better deal? Should the dealer go lower. After reading everyone else's deals, I think I should try for lower. Shouldn't the Touring be just around $1200 over the Sport? Thanks for your replies and opinions. Cheers!
"negotiated'" to Out the door: 19750
breakdown (how they worked their numbers to get me the number I wanted):
(20 mi on vehicle, red)
Unit Price 17673.14
Etch 199
tax 1251.05
nj tire tax 7.50
reg fee 242
online MV fee 8.30
"Clerical Expense" 369
total: 19749.99
Not sure if this is the 'best' deal, but I am happy with it and the car.
Agreed, being happy is #1 priority. If you have that gut feeling in your stomach that you aren't happy, then you still have to talk. For me, it was that moment when the dealer crossed out $12,500 and inked in $13,000 for my trade in and extended the bumper to bumper warranty to 4 years/100,000km that I knew it was a good deal.
MSRP: 21,563
Invoice: 20,563
Price: 20,463
Rebate: 1,750
Final Price: 18,713
Then I will have to pay taxes, title etc. Please let me know if you think this is a good deal.
Thanks for your info. Can u tell me exact location of the dealer you made a deal?
The dealer is talking invoice - $250 (using "his" family discount) plus we'll take the $500 cash and 2.9% financing. So total is invoice - $750 + tax/title/dest.
But I'm suspecting that there is room to move below invoice. The local dealers are claiming there's no more marketing support from Mazda, no volume incentives, etc. I think this is bunk!
Can anyone tell me if they've purchased a NEW 2009 Mazda5 below $750 under invoice?
Thanks!
For example, a no-option M5 GT would be $21,149 with available 0.9%/36 financing.
No one is willing so far to go under invoice.
Tax (9.5%!) 1453
doc fee 55
license 172
Out the door at 16933.
Only problem item (condensation inside driver side tail lamp assembly) was replaced at delivery.
Dealer experience was great. They seem to want to move cars and are backing away from hard sell tactics. I went to Rosenthal Arlington Mazda in Arlington, VA. Elizabeth was a very knowledgeable and helpful salesperson.
2009 Mazda5 Sport AT
Base + No options
OTD Price = $17000 + tax + $120 (doc/title)
Please advise if this is good deal. I want to get one this weekend!
Thanks
I will counter the dealer offer with the following and see how it goes -
09 Sport AT with no options
$16K + tax + title/doc/reg (Cash)
$17K + tax + title/doc/reg (0%APR for 60months)
(P.S. I have a trade worth 6K so hopefully some tax savings and we can write off sales tax here in WA too :-) ).
Here is what I asked for -
'09 Sport AT Base - $16000 cash + tax + doc
'09 Grand Touring Base - $19500 cash + tax + doc
'09 Mazda5 Grand Touring
$19500 + 9.5% tax + ~200 doc/title (Cash deal)
For those considering the GT, the leather,Xenons and Bluetooth make it worth it IMHO.
I have the following 2 vehicles on mind. Need guidance from forum as which one to buy.
08 Touring (base stock with 39 miles) - $16000 + TaxTitleLicense
09 GT (stock base with no options) - $19800 + TaxTitleLicense
Both are good deals IMHO. Are these (Xeon, Bluetooth, Leather Seats, Heated Seats/Mirrors, Security) worth the extra money ~3.5K on GT?
I am kinda stuck in these two vehicles so need help to close before EOD.
Xenon = better visibility and awesome looks.
Bluetooth = never have to worry about buying a portable blutooth and having it on your ear; safer as well.
Leather Seats = easier to clean, specially if you have kids or dogs.
Heated Seats/Mirrors = if you live in cold/freezing weather you will love it.
Security = factory wired alarm without the need of after-market splicing and messing with electronics.
I must say this is the best car buying experience being in the driving seat of negotiations instead of walking out with a feeling of just being robbed.
I am going ahead with the 09 GT instead of 08 Touring
Wifey wants leather/heated seats on her car; couldn't get on on Mother's day and can't wait for the Father's day. So go ahead with the purchase this weekend ...
09 GT - $19000 + TTL (GT Base + Lifetime Powertrain Warranty)
Thanks folks for this awesome forum!
2009 Touring - Stormy Blue (gotta say it, love the color).
Options - Auto-dimming rearview mirror w/ compass and HomeLink
Picked it up yesterday. I received S-Plan which isn't the best deal, but I didn't want to drive 1.5 - 2 hours to see what another dealer would give me for my trade in. Did price shop and only found one deal better and that was only by $325. Traded in a 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5i wagon, which I loved expect the reliability wasn't there. received $9,400 for the trade and with S-Plan got out the door for $15,500. The 5 rocks. Just made a 1.5 hour trip north with the wife and the 1-year old and loved it. I'm 6'2" and had to have a telescopic steering wheel. I can now drive in a comfortable position and my wife can sit in the back behind me with room to spare. Could not do that in the Subaru!! I'll miss the AWD, but love everything about the 5.
If you're looking for vehicle that will give you room for a small family, haul some stuff, get good gas mileage, and doesn't cost $30,000, the 5 will not disappoint.
Is this pretty average or is there some wiggle room? :confuse:
If you want more, have them throw in a couple of oil changes or a cargo net.
The Highlander was the nicest, but also busted my budget. Kia was also surprisingly nice and inexpensive, but wife vetoed based on looks. Oddy was solid, but I have low MPG fears based on forums and user reviews. It came down to the Escape and 5. Loved them both, felt great on the road and comfortable behind the wheel. Ultimately features for the $$$ and most fun to drive won out in Mazda's favor.
Touring - Black on Black
$18799 + Tax Title and Registration

The dealer is in Northern Virginia and has given me an out-the-door price on a new '09 Touring Mazda5 (no additional options) of $20,153 (tax, prep, freight, etc...all in).
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on what kind of 'deal' this is.
2 weeks ago yesterday my 2007 Mazda 5 with less than 45K on the odometer caught on FIRE. We called Mazda to report it and their response was: Report it to your insurance company - we can do nothing; the same type of response from the dealer and so on. My wife is very upset. We have maintained the vehicle w/ care and diligence. Oil Changes, Repairs done at the Mazda dealership and the vehicle passed inspection less than 2 weeks prior to the fire. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED. NEVERTHELESS IT IS SAD FOR US TO SEE HOW THERE'S LITTLE THE MAZDA DEALER, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SERVICE ADVISORS HAVE DONE TO TRY TO GIVE US A REASON OR INVESTIGATE. That was the last Mazda Vehicle we owned. We are going straight to a TOYOTA dealer. NO MORE MAZDA's for me or my family. No more fire hazard.
Thanks
$15,500 is a GREAT price on a Manual, and would be a Stupendous price on an Automatic.
I know there's customer cash of $500, does anyone know what kind of Manufacturer to Dealer cash is available on the Mazda5?
