I really wish someone from this forum tries to get those 2 car I listed above from Mazda Riverside. They are $8-8.2k below the MSRP which is great price in my opinion. I do have a feeling they might have bit more milage then the usual ones though both being the only 2010 AWD left for T and GT model in their inventory.
Any idea what the deal with the AMP is? I'm not in a major metropolitan area and have never seen this before.
Thanks!
Also, a quick question about options. Manufacturer-installed roof rails are only $200 as an option, but adding them at the dealership is more than twice that much with installation. Is there a way to get them cheaper at a third party place or install them yourself?
The cars I saw didn't have a security alarm in the installed options. But the cars did have a basic alarm already. What does the optional alarm add?
Thanks!
Although this may very well be the case, you may want to make sure you have differentiated "roof rails" from "roof rack". a "roof rack" includes the crossbars which comes out to approximately twice as much as "roof rails" (where you can add your own crossbars). my dealership charged me an extra $200 to add the crossbars to the already existing roof rails.
Was pleased and certainly pleased with the ride!
My pricing was through the AMEX program amexnetwork.zag.com. One dealer gave me the runaround and said I needed to qualify for the loyalty cash to get the $1800 below invoice, but finally agreed to give me the full amount. The other dealer gave it to me no questions asked. In both cases, their invoices had an additional $150 advertising fee compared to the invoices published on the internet.
So should I bite?

What is the total of incentives given currently for a sport and Touring CX-9?
From the thread I see that its about:
$2000 for not taking the 0/60 financing
$750 Customer incentive
$500 loyalty incentive
Is the above correct? Thanks a lot in advance!
Looks like I crossed up the incentive specifics as I understand them. Let me clarify - 2010 CX9 GT, Touring, or Sport.
$3000 for not taking the 0/60 financing or 0/60 financing plus $750 cash. One or the other.
$500 loyalty on any deal.
Good luck!
I assume that the $30,500 is before TTL? Would you mind sharing which dealer you went to and perhaps how you bargained them down to that price?
I'm currently in contact with a couple of dealers in both Sacramento and San Jose and the best quote I've recieved so far is $34,209. That's for a 2010 GT with Nav, Rear Entertainment, and pwr lift gate with an MSRP of $40,315 (including $780 "destination fee").
I'm impressed you were able to get yours for $4,000 less AND still get roof rails, towing prep, and all weather mats. Hat's off

Central NJ. 2010 GT w/Bose/MR pkg and Rear lift gate.
$33,000 Out the Door without 0% Finance. Cash Deal.
$36,254 OTD with 0% Finance. $604.19/mo./60 months (0 down - based on credit rating)
Took the later. X-Mas present for my Wife.
Always wanted to do that, BTW!

Did you purchase a FWD or AWD?
What was the MSRP?
Funny you mentioned X-MAS gift. I'm trying to do the same with the last 2010 AWD GT with the color she wants in my state! Still working on OTD price with a trade. Hopefully, it isn't gone before we agree on price.
I'll check on the sticker when I get home and post but was about $37,700.
Good Luck! Merry X-Mas!

Price: My husband works for a pharmaceutical company and receives automatic Factory Invoice price. I had a dealership near me (greater Philadelphia area) tell me that the Invoice price was the lowest he could go, no negotiation. He said he was unable to budge on any holdbacks or dealer incentives. Another dealership gave me their "sale" price, which ended up being just factory invoice. The FI is $35,491 (MSRP $37,985 - Moonroof/Bose, no Nav). I've seen on TrueCar that a "Great" price for exactly what I'm looking at is less than $34,525. Any tips on how I can get them down, or how people have gotten up to $4k off Invoice???
Try the ZAG pricing (at ZAG.com or partners such as amexnetwork.zag.com or overstock.com). I bought a 2011 Touring last weekend using their price. For southern california, this was $1800 below invoice. The dealers which participate in the program are "supposed" to honor the program price. My dealer told me the discount includes the $500 Mazda loyalty bonus (for which I don't qualify), but ultimately agreed to give me the full $1800 below dealer invoice.
BTW, 4k below invoice is only realistic for a 2010 model.
I haven't played around with the Bose system a lot, but it doesn't seem out of this world. I got the Bose/moonroof package mainly because it gave me the 6 CD changer and the back-up camera in the dash, and secondly, because that's how most of the Touring cars were configured.
IMHO, the Bose system is just OK. It ain't audiophile by more than a mile but it'll do.

We had narrowed it down to an Acura MDX or GMC Acadia and decided to look at the CX-9 at the last minute. So glad we did. It's an amazing vehicle.
I didn't test drive the MDX vs. the cx-9. The Enclave is overpriced and the CX-9 handles far better. Took it home Monday.
What are the differences you found vs. the MDX?

I found a dealer in my area who is more than happy to honor it, but wouldn't entertain any other negotiation.
2011 GT AWD Liquid Silver, Moonroof/Bose and Power Lift for $33991, Factory Invoice $35,491, MSRP $37,985, 0.9% for 60 months. If I can get what I'm looking for with my trade-in, I'm signing tonight!
I seriously wouldn't have been able to get what I did without all of the great info on here. THANK YOU!!!
MSRP: $38030
Price: $31250 before TTL (then I got stuck for a $150 "documentation fee" in the finance office)
last night I thought it was a great price, but looking here today, it looks more like an average price.
Thanks

My only recommendation to anyone about to buy this car is to use amex/zag to figure out the best possible price in order to negotiate with the dealer. In texas, amex/zag does not give the exact price so use a similar city elsewhere to figure out texas prices. I used Raleigh, NC to figure out Austin, TX prices. If you were in Houston, you'd probably use Los Angeles, CA prices.
Edmunds TMV and truecar are useless prices these days. And after a couple of months/years, probably zag/amex would be useless too but for now, the prices quoted by amex/zag are correct. Lower than costco without the costco hassle.
My first impression of the car: A minivan which looks like an SUV but without the minivan conveniences Hopefully the suspension is somewhat tough like an suv.
ps: total research time from thought to purchase was 1 month. If I had known about the zag site from the beginning, this would have been much faster.
pps: I got a rate of 3.59% from the dealer/capital one. I probably would have gotten a better rate if I shopped around but I was lazy and did not have the patience or the guts to argue with the financing person at the dealership!
Thanks.
I also have a white CX-9 with sand interior and I've been thinking of getting seat covers from Iggee.com. I have a set from them for the front seats of my Acura. The fit is great and they've held up well for several years. I need to find out whether the middle seat covers allows you to drop down the middle seat arm rest.
I've tried Garmin & TomTom, and even the base model Garmin is excellent.
OTOH, the backup camera that you get works really well and I use that frequently, though the lens gets dirty easily.
Still we love the car. I have to say the angle of the front door is more annoying than anything else, as at my height it can bang against my face if I'm not careful.
Besides, we have a 2003 GMC with grey leather and the leather cleaner was just fine after 8 years.
