Mazda reprogrammed the engine and fixed the problem. :shades:
Only previous model require premium gas. Oddly enough, I did test premium gas in my tank and the car seemed to burn the gas quicklier and the exhaust smelled like raw gasoline. Filled up my tank 2 times in the begining like that and after that I used only regular gas. I've owned my car 1.5 years and I love it.
I wish for better mileage but since the car is fun to drive, I am willing to overlook it.
Go pay for the Consumer Reports online pricing system for under $30. Or there are other sites that can give you the dealer costs of all the extras.
Don't be cheap. Spend a few $ now to save hundreds or thousands.

What kind of reply is this? Doing his own homework is exactly what led the guy here and asking questions. Why even post a reply like this?
Yes, message board member input is great and helps people here get an idea a to what people are seeing in dealers across the country, but the only way to know definitive, base-line pricing is via some of these services. That is all I meant.
I would recommend that the original messenger of that note, or any other messenger, review past postings to see if there is anything relative and recent, and if not use these online service where things are lacking.
So, back to my point, for less than the cost of 10 Starbucks coffees, a comprehensive and accurate report on pricing and regional discounts can be had from Consumer Reports or other online resources in case this person was not aware of these resources available to them.
You are completely wrong. Consumer reports uses truecar.com values to give you pricing estimates. I paid $5 for a subscription to consumer reports and $15 to buy an individual report and it had the same exact price as was posted on truecar.com for free. Yet when I was acutally buying I paid 4K less than the "good price" on truecar. Dealers have many incentives from the manufacturer and unfortunately Mazda doesnt make this transparent. This board helped me a lot to realize that there was a 8k discount off msrp for 09 CX7's.
Glad you got a great deal. Enjoy
Just bot a 2010 CX-7 Touring, paid $26,900 and got 3.9% for 60 months, crystal Pearl White. Cash for clunkers is over and dealers are crapping in their pants. NO one is buying, if you have a solid FICO score and a minimum 10% down, you can negotiate a fair price.
Car drives like its own railroad tracks, acceleration is solid off the line. Only concern are the tires, got bridgestone on them. Seems as though I'll be lucky if they last 24K miles.
People living in NJ, check out IRWIN Mazda in Freehold. NJ Car dealers are notorious for marking up cars from anywhere from $2K-5K for pinstriping and door guards. NO mark-ups here, set up an appointment on the internet, I swear as a Presbyterian, most non-stressful purchase of a car in 25 years. Internet manager, Jay is a decent individual.
Edmunds TMV is a solid benchmark, print it and use to your advantage.

Nah, jersey tax of 7.00% was separate
Regular invoice was $28400 with the white paint.
Couple of Mazda Dealers within a 20 mile raduis were not budging from the retail invoice. I guess being a 2010 model, dealers are figuring that demand will be there very soon.
If you look at the CX7 inventory on many of these car dealer websites, many base engines available, but touring and GT are almost nil to none.
Good luck with the search
We haven't had a chance to drive it very far yet, but from three days worth of driving, the trip computer indicates that we are averaging about 25 mpg at an average speed of 33 mph (it's mostly been driven on the local roads with some short highway drives in between).
The model I bought was a 2010 Touring AWD model in white.
If you are, may I have the name of the dealership, my sister is looking to get a Mazda 3.
Besides, many of the rebates are due to the economy this year, and were not in effect last year (when I bought one of my CX's too)
Price of car: 20737.85
Sales tax: 1451.65
Tire tax: 7.50
Reg/title fees: 399.00 (4 years)
Online mv fee: 6.00
Doc fees: 398.00
Total: 23,000.00
I got dealer financing at 4.99% for 60 months. I believe there was a $1,000 dollar rebate involved. I contacted the internet sales manager (Paul) by email first to get ballpark prices. Went to the showroom and dealt with Mark and the deal was done within an hour. Great place to buy a car. This was the only Sport in stock but could have had another color if I wanted for a fee of $300 to cover the cost of getting the car moved from another dealer. This vehicle is Stormy Blue Mica with black interior and is an awesome car. Happy hunting.
I was in the market for the new BLACK 2010 CX-7 iSport.
Monday night, I negotiated the price, and the sales guy called me and said ok come get it for the price, but you have to come today, 10 minutes later called me back and said "I am sorry we can't do that" I was ready with the money, and to sign and be done. Oh did he make me mad! So I said forget it no I don't want to buy from them.
Friday morning, the Mr. Gwatney calls me and apologizes and says the sales guy got fired he didn't PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL. So he says he wants my business and we still don't meet at the price I want, but met somewhere close and I agreed around 5pm Friday. I couldn't get there Friday so we agreed I would come first thing in the morning. He even made a smart remark "Come early in the morning, so I can make money the rest of the day" It hit me wrong but I left it alone.
Saturday Morning I get there, I just wanted to sign the paper, give my money and drive off the car and I am walking around and guess what I see? NO BLACK CX-7! RIGHT THEN, he pulls up and says "Oh well no one talked to me about color" WHAT A BUNCHA LIES! First thing we said to him was I want a black Cx-7 iSport with the convince package. He even had nerves to say "Who wants a black car in Memphis?" I was furious by the way they handle their customers, and walked out and left the dealership.I would not recommend anyone to purchase from them! They ruined the entire buying process from the start. They didn't screw up once, but TWICE!!
Gwatney Mazda dealership does not know how to deal with customers! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
MSRP $24840 includes destination.
My price so far is $22500 plus sales tax.
Is this good or do I need to bargain some more?
Thanks.
$22,500 sounds like a good price! Per truecar less than $23,039 is considered a "great price"! I was quoted $23,200 in early September. Try to bargain more. Truecar is saying that the best time to purchase a vehicle in November would be Black Friday. How much are sale taxes in your area? Do you have a trade in? Good Luck!
congrats! What options do you have? We focused on CX-7 i Sport with Convenience Package (1CP).
Regards.
It is a great price: $18,953! You did good job! I can't go to Delray Mazda. I'm far away from FL - Ohio. I mentioned $22,500 (iSport w/1CP) to a sales person over here, he said he would beat that price easy. I'll try on Black Friday. Thank you and enjoy your new toy!
I live in Boynton Beach and would love the name of your salesman that sold you your CX7. Could you email it to me? It would be much appreciated.

Gap insurance/coverage: $695
Finance charges over 60 months: $1285.98

My dealership was offering 2.9% for 60 months, which thankfully I qualified for. For a good 2-3 days after I bought it I kept on thinking I should have haggled more, but there's nothing you can do after you sign the papers! It was my first car-buying experience, so next time I'll know what to look out for. All in all our salesman was very nice and accommodating, and you can't put a price on that! Mine is the liquid silver and yes, it is an awesome car... so happy with choosing the Mazda. Zoom-Zoom!

thanks
Thanks!
$24,042 (with 6% tax). Is that a good price?
BTW: there is a strong burning smell coming inside the hood and the deal
told me it is normal for the new car. Anybody has the similar experience?
Thank you!
You should use www.truecar.com to get an idea of how low dealers are willing/able to go. Hope this helps!
Is this a good deal ?
I got the car in the end of the month, so the deader might be willing to
negotiate the price.
price includes tags, taxes, dealer fees, delivery, ie. "everything", it is an out-the-door price for total payment.
color is optional, ie. price is good for any color.
anyone with better OTD in S.Florida ?
