Thanks aviboy for your help. Our first Mazda and my wife is very pleased with the build quality, features, and aesthetics.
Here's a link for the NJ tax:
It's for combined mileage.

I never heard of it either. I checked it out when a car dealer told me I had to pay over $500 for the "Federal Gas Guzzler Tax", which SUV's are exempt from. The dealer was just mistaken or trying to rip me off.
There really is an "exit tax" in NJ. Not quite sure how it works, but it relates to the selling price of your home. NJ sure does love to tax.
I really like the CX-9 and would just like a "fair" deal. Instead I'm finding the Mazda dealers I have dealt with are applying all sorts of "discounts" or "omissions" to the quoted price and then, when I go to the dealer, I fiind out the car is much more expensive than they quoted.
Huh? Where did I post that $2600 off was a good deal? No such words were written by me.
I think you are referring to the person who posted what they bought, and they price they paid and then mentioned my name in the post. I believe they were referring to info I provided about the car. It had nothing to do with pricing.
About Wayne Mazda, they quote low ball prices, and then add in $1,500 + in fees back into the final deal. I deal with them every day. I pay no attention to their quotes because I know the games they play.

I recently purchased the red CX-9 GT AWD you are discussing. Here is some info that may better inform your planned purchase.
1. The 0% financing offer increases the sales price by $1000. So the vehicle I purchased was priced at $34,100 without financing. That is $3,700 (=10%) below MSRP and $300 below the AMEX program price. It also is $1000 below Truecar Factory Invoice price. No complaints from this buyer.
2. The CX-9 AWD model is very popular in New England and priced far below both GMC/Buick, Ford/Mercury and Acura. Not surprising both Mazda (and Subaru) have seen strong sales growth in the region. Dealers move these cars with good profit margins. They are excellent buys.
3. CX-9 inventories are quite low as of February. Very limited selection of GT models in stock, like one per dealer! Until inventories spike or manufacturer incentives increase, dealers will not be inclined to more aggressively discount the rare CX-9 they have in inventory. Now if you wand a Mazda 3 that's a different story.
So, the supply/demand environment is not very favorable currently. If
you can delay your purchase things may improve in my region. On the other hand I found Mazda dealers to still offer an excellent price (with moderate encouragement...) for the vehicle as I noted above.
Good luck with your purchase.
No biggie. Stuff like that happens all the time. I do it quite frequently myself
enjoy the CX9 in he best of health
+ Navigation
+ Moonroof
+ Power lift gate
+ Wheel logs
+ Cargo net
MSRP: 39,205
Paid: 35,780 with 0% for 60 months Mazda financing
(34,780 if I arranged my own financing)
so $3425 off MSRP with promotional financing
or $4425 off MSRP without promotional financing
Good price, plus I was offered $1300 more for my trade-in than another area dealer who only offered $3000 off MSRP (so a $1725 difference).
This is in New England.
Paid: 35,780 with 0% for 60 months Mazda financing
That is about $1,000 under invoice. Great job. I'm willing to bet you purchased from Ira Mazda in Mass. Am I correct??
J~
Thanks.
CX-9 sales were up 22% over Feb09, and are up 4.2% YoY. I don't think your friend has accurate information. Maybe HE has trouble selling them....
Also, the price quote of $31700 already includes the $1000 cash incentive in stead of 0% financing.
for the 2nd. Thanks
Your best bet is to get a bunch on online quotes from a number of dealers.
It will give you an indication of where the pricing is.
Just beware that there are dealers who will "low ball" you.
I dealt with that. I found that Wayne Mazda (in NJ), has a great selection of CX-9's in stock and provided a really low internet quote. But, when I went there the price went up and up. I walked away when the price was more than $2,400 higher than the internet quote. Wanye isn't the only dealer that does that.
I'd rather deal with a dealer that is up front with the price, even if it winds up costing me a bit more. Luckily I found one that was that way and had the car I want.
It's best to find out the "out-the-door" cost of the car. That way you'll find out what they didn't include in the quote.
The CX-9 is a great car, BTW, but shopping for one can give you quite a head ache! Good Luck!
I have been looking in RI and nearby MA. I have not contacted Ira Mazda though. Also, I have not received any prices even near 1000 below invoice with the 0% financing.
I'm thinking I'll call these guys for a price even though I'll need to drive a bit to get there.
Did they seem to have plenty in stock, or are they giving prices and then finding the cars?
Thanks for the help....
BTW - I also liked the MDX, but I think the CX9 is a better deal... :-)
J~
I'm down the same options- CX9s or MDX.
So I have a family member that is a Ford retiree and he gave me a PIN to use for the Mazda S-Plan. I went to the dealer today and wanted to share my experience so that maybe somebody could chime and let me know if it went as it should have.
Here's the CX-9 I wanted:
2010 Touring AWD Dolphin Gray Mica
+ Bose Audio/Moonroof
+ Power liftgate
The price they quoted was the following (retail in parentheses):
Invoice: 29571 (31955)
Bose: 1939 (2255)
Liftgate: 344 (400)
Destination: 750
Total: $32,604
They even gave me an invoice printout at my request so the numbers seem legit.
There is a $1000 cash back bonus available, but that's only if you don't use the 0% financing for 60 months, which I plan to. Also, there's a $500 loyalty bonus, but I'm not currently a Mazda owner.
Finally, they don't have the car in stock and I guess there isn't anyone nearby so they have to order it. They said it would take 3 months(!) which means that the 0% financing could be gone by then, but then again there also could be a different discount package available at that point.
Anyways, that was my experience with the S-Plan. I haven't placed the order yet.
Can anybody verify this? Is this is a good deal with or without the S-Plan?
Thanks community!!!

There is no need to take crap from a sales person.
Its all part of their act/routine (good guy - bad manager). Beleive me, I've been in the exact same situation and have walked away. Dont feel bad for the sales person, he is in on it. To get more insight, read the article here on Edmunds regarding the reporter who worked as a sales rep (undercover).
Good luck and always be prepared to walk away- You'll here from them again.
Also, can anyone recommend any NJ dealers (pref. northern or central) that offers a good experience--if that is even possible!
Thanks.
I bought my 2010 CX9 from Schwartz Mazda in Red Bank back in Nov 2009.
Agreed its not north or central Jersey, but they are good to deal with and I can recommend a salesman if you like.
A CX-9 GT AWD with the moon roof / bose audio and power liftgate has an S-Plan price around $35,000, give or take a few dollars depending on any other additional accessories there might be.
$32-$33K is not the S-Plan price for a GT with those options.
I think it's a good deal, what do you guys think?
Thanks
Do you take 0% finance?
it's about $800 below (invoice+destination).
If I can still take 0% finance, do you guys think this a good deal?
Thanks.
Does anyone know if Mazda lets you finance the entire purchase or are there some restrictions involved?
On the Mazda site there are some "fine print" details...I'm wondering how this is working out in the real world.
Thanks J~
