by the way, I am living in wisconsin.
Thanks a lot
Thanks
Thanks!
I am planning to buy a used 2008 CX9 GT AWD with Navigation, Backup Camera, Rear DVD, BSM, Power Rear Hatch from a dealer. It has 48000 miles on it and price is $22500.
Should I expect any issues with so many miles on it? The tires are pretty new 8/32.
What do you guys think? Is this a good price?
Thanks!
The dealer's asking price is 34,058 with 0% loan, or 32,058 for cash.
The saleswoman insist that the Edmund.com TMV price is only good for a cash deal, which I know is not true (Edmund.com says it factors in the incentive).
The issue is that I can only find two car with the color that I like, and has no options on it.
Am I out of luck for a better price?
And what should I expect for a base mode GT AWD 2010 here in Pittsburgh anyways?
Thanks,
Did not want nav at all, but the big touch screen is actually really cool. Have not driven it enough to determine if the nav will displace my beloved Garmin, but for the satellite radio, bluetooth phone, etc it is nice.
I found the inventory locator on Edmunds very helpful, especially as I wanted a specific color - love being able to search by color.
I think I can accept the 32,060 offer, but only if it's with 0 % financing. I don't desperately need a new car, and I don't have to have a cx 9.
Like you, I prefer my Garmin. Not only I'm use to it, I also think it's much safer to have your Nav on top of the dash board at more of an eye level. Looking down to see where you are at using the on-board Nav can be dangerous. I plan to buy another Garmin and have it professionally installed, so the wires can be hidden behind the windshield.
Have a good holiday.
so your MSRP was $35245? Around $7000 below sticker before TTL. correct?
or another way to look at it.
Invoice was $32,834 - $3000 DE = $29834. So you got around $1300 below invoice?
Where you able to take advantage of the $500 loyalty cash?
Which state?
thanks for the confirmation. Enjoy your new CX-9. They do drive great!
This is in Seattle, and they are they are selling so well there's very little they'll give you as there are plenty of customers with more cash it seems.
So, the advice is know your market. Alas mine seems loathe to offer much at all below invoice (not including any incentives).
Love the car, also got 2.79 for 60 months from non Mazda financing through the dealer (citizens bank). And it's heavy enough for a big tax deduction through our small business.
Started with truecar, IRA got close on price but these guys beat everyone.
They gave me a great offer on my trade, $100 above Edmunds TMV and $300 above blue book.
It's a former Saturn dealer that just converted earlier this year to Mazda, so I think they're just looking for the business. But really nice people.
I was bracing myself to be lowballed on the trade or some other catch, I'd say the only other area where they were looking to profit was that the first financing they offered was 3.49 but when I quoted Capital One at 2.6, they came back with 2.79.
All around, I can't believe I'm driving such a nice car for 26k and we'll write off almost all of it year end on our taxes with accelerated depreciation (GVWR over 6k)
While we tried to drive a harder bargain, someone else bought the car we were initially looking at, so I had to have roof racks & mud flaps put on after the sale
There were 7 blue 2010 CX-9 AWD's in my metro area as of last Friday, MazdaUsa only shows 3 as of today. The only real color choices left are Black, Gray, and Silver.
You guys are certainly seeing better deals than I'm finding here. At the least, I found 2.69% interest, and I'm happy to at least have gotten one of the last blues left, and they gave me a decent value for my trade in (not fantastic, but still pretty good at least).
Congrats on the new wheels.
Ready to buy in Austin, willing to shop San Antonio. Might I ask which dealership?
$750 cash incentive, $2000 for not taking the 0/60 financing. That alone is $3250 which you should be getting at a minimum below whatever invoice is for your model/options. Here where I live a 2010 is going for 300-500 below invoice minus YOUR incentives. Others are doing even better depending on where you are. Good luck and keep us posted. Keep an eye on the fees when doing the paperwork. Dealerships where I live are sneaky at agreeing to a deal then trying to get you with hidden fees in the paperwork.
If you use 91206, 22.6miles away from you will be Browning Mazda of Cerritos. 23 miles will be Pacific Ford Lincoln Mercury Mazda or aka Long Beach Mazda on mazdausa.com. 49.6 miles will be Riverside Mazda. They will always have the the lowest price on pretty much everything BUT almost never have it in stock. If they do, you might get the lowest price with them. At first I didn't really have much luck with NONE of them even with the overstock price quotes.
So I decided to go with Carsdirect who had $565 higher price than overstock quote but I figured let them do the work and find the car for me. I was going to give them business at this point BUT the guy who was in charge of me wanted me to be 150% sure on everything! My request was CX9 FWD w/ rear enter, navi, power lift gate, towing prep, and all weather floor mats (I thought no floor mat was include with ANY car and had to buy it due to my last new car purchasing exp. with Altima LONG time ago but that is another story)
Color wise I told him I was open to black,white, silver, dolphin gray for ext and prefered sand int BUT will take black too since I knew there weren't that many 2010 CX9 GT with those options. I told him there should not be that many cars left with such options with the color criteria I gave to him. And that guy was keep insisting I HAD to commit to EXACT color preference because he doesn't want to waste 4-5 hours of research time to track it down for me for nothing.
I was keep telling him that I did most of the research in term of inventory within drivable range and there should be less than handful of cars with options my wife wanted so let me know what colors are available and my wife will pick the one she likes the most and he was keep saying I had to be 150% sure of the color before he would look for the car! This went on for a bit and at this point I got so fed up with 150% thing told him thanks for his time and said goodbye. That was Friday afternoon.
I was so fed up with the carsdirect (maybe I had a bad luck) , I decided to go at it on my own and made calls to number of dealers that had those options in inventory according to mazdausa. First one was Browning of Cerritos who was trying to sell me demo w/ 6500 miles for almost $31k. I actually offered $30.5 and they declined! They do have another demo with almost 12k miles on it as well. 2 cars that show up on mazdausa for 2010 GT for Browning Cerritos are BOTH demos people.
Next one was 2nd one I contacted was Pacific Ford Lincoln Mazda. They had 3 nicely loaded GT. I dealt with a rep who was Marvelous. (just consider half that, wink, wink) I told him straight up, I am going to buy GT tomorrow and I wanted to know whether he could match the overstock price because I was deciding between 3 dealers for tomorrow's purchase, all cash. Only thing was that I had to drive quite a bit with my wife and my son to get there so I told him, I would definately give him a call if were to go down there to purchase.
Saturday morning, I made calls to 2 more dealers (Galpin Valencia and Galpin Van Nuys) with options I wanted and price I wanted telling them that I am going to purchase a GT today and going to drive down BUT it they could match the price, I would rather do business with them since they were much closer to where I live. (I just used 91206 as reference point for search and don't live there) I told both of them that let me know asap because I want to buy it today from another dealer further down UNLESS they can match the price. Both of them told me they will find out and call me back.
Now I got some work to do which was cleaning the garage to make space for GT!
From this point on, my cell and phone rang almost non stop. Back and forth calls and came to 1 stumbling point. The car they carry with greater than 30k price have LoJacks installed already! Doh! I was kept saying I don't know. I like your price but Lojack is messing up everything in terms of price. So both of them told me they'll talk to the manager and call me right back. I was thinking I might have to drive way down to Long Beach Mazda on Sunday since it was getting slightly late for me to drive all the way down there.
Luckily both of them got back to me. Prices they got back to me was very close to one another. Slightly different options but close enough. So it pretty much came down to how many miles it had! One had 250miles, other one had to be transfered from storage since it was going to be sold to on Nov 30 but finance didn't go through. That one had 120 miles on it after they brought it back from the storage. Actually this one was the one I was eying all along but the person I dealt before could not track it down. The person I talked today was able to track it down to storage area (another Galpin dealer). After a bit of negotiation, he gave me $32.5k price for 2010 GT w/ Pwr lift gate, navi, enter w/ bose, towing prep, and LoJack. So I took that offer.
I think I might have gotten 200-300 cheaper if I really played hardball but I was tired and this one was the only one with EXACT options I wanted and closest to home. Galpin has a couple more nice models at pretty nice price. I worked with a rep who was almost as Great as King of Macedon but only half as great! (wink, wink again). He was very pleasant to work w/ in many ways. Oh, and if you plan to buy it from them, go with cash offer OR bring your own fiance. I was sitting next door to another person trying to get a car and didn't sound too fun. Than again that is expected from most auto dealer now days. Also I will share with you my hard earned info after going through numerous calls. So please do share your exp/info as well w/ others.
Galpin has Silver/black CX9 GT AWD (yes, ALL wd. I bought FWD, however) w/Moon/bose, navi, liftgate for $32,449 for someone who is interested in awd model.
They also have White/sand CX9 GT FWD w/ moon/bose, navi, liftgate, towing prep, remote engine start, and LoJack for $32,427. That is w/ extra $200 for white paint. Since there aren't too many white/sand GT left in so cal, this is decent price. You might be able to haggle few extra hundreds if you wish but that might or might not fly since well equipped GT inventory is shrinking pretty fast.
Long Beach Mazda do have really nice price AND have few in
Remember if you use overstock quote, don't even bother using Riverside price and have the others try to match it. I tried many times with Mazda5 AND CX9 and never worked since most of the time they don't even have it in the stock! Last thing they told me was if I pay 200 transfer fee, they will try to get it for you but answer was always the same. "The other dealer didn't want to give it to us. I am sorry but we do have other cars." Look at their inventory first! IF they have it in stock, THEN call them up and talk to them.
By the way just ask for sales, THEN ask that sales person whether they will honor the pricing instead asking for someone who is in charge of internet sales. Person who is in charge of internet sales are usually person who answers the phone and doesn't have much knowledge from MY experience dealing with above mentioned dealers. Could me wrong with other dealers, however. Well anyway, I am a happy camper along with my wife. My son too since he can watch his fav show, Chuggington when we go somewhere!
Hopefully I didn't bore you too much and there was enough useful info for someone looking for nicely loaded GT in so cal.
P.S. I am sure most of you know already but as a reminder, there is $3k DE. and if you want to go with 0% for 60 month, you get $750. From what I read, few people had luck getting DE AND 0% for 60 month but I got shot down every time.
P.P.S. Riverside Mazda do have Dolphin gray/black AWD for someone looking for it w/ Moon/bose, navi, and power lift game (awd comes with tow prep) at $31099 overstock price and white/sand Touring (NOT GT) AWD w/ auto dimming mirror, moon/bose, power lift gate, roof rail, and SS rear bumper for $28,468 OS price.
Both are REALLY nice prices IF they have them in stock AND they are not demos w/ lot of milage on it. If someone who reads this and gets it, please post detail. I am VERY curious to the outcome. I never really looked for AWD and didn't really want it so didn't even bother calling them asking for it to verify the pricing info.
Thanks for the detailed write-up. It captures my experience in No Cal. Overstock/AMEX pricing is mostly a teaser for the dealers. They never have the exact CX-9 in stock that you price and the same car, but in a different color, can be 2K more according to the dealer. What was the MSRP on the car that you bought?
They were trying to push $695 for it then lowered it to $450. From what I hear $375 was/is their cost and MSRP (w/ install) for it is $695. It is only useful for lowering your insurance premium a little and to track it down fast in CA once your car gets stolen so I really don't mind having one inside my brand new CX9. I don't think I would have known that it had LoJack installed on it if they didn't tell me and I didn't receive LoJack regi info.
