1.) How much are they allowing for your trade-in (You can post on the real-world trade values of the edmunds forum and qbrozen can give you a realistic trade in value - Edmunds, Blackbook, and KBB are running from about 14,500-17,000 for your current car which means you should definitely have a good amount of equity)?
2.) Are you purchasing another 2012 awd sport which has an MSRP of around $33,000? If so, you should be getting at minimum $6,350-6,550 off of that truck since you are a current Mazda owner (Invoice-$4,000 incentive-holdback). Others are getting even more off so there might be another $1,000 in another incentive that we are not easily aware of.
3.) What is your tax rate and dmv fees in your state? Are you taxed on the difference between the trade and the new vehicle.
4.) What is the interest rate you are being quoted for your 5 year loan? Credit unions are running 1.49-1.99% on 5 year loans at this time.
Also, never deal in monthly payments if you have not answered the questions to #'s 1-4 before making the deal. If you are able to answer the questions above, we should be able to give you a better idea on the deal.
I received an email from Mazda corporate yesterday with details of a lease deal for a 2013 CX-9 Grand Touring. I have called 3 dealerships in the Westchester, NY lower Connecticut area and none of them have them in. Has anyone seen a 2013 model at a dealership or been told that dealers have them? Has anyone seen one in the NY or Philadelphia area? Mazda Corporate could give me no leads.
Thanks,
Stephen
Today, when I tested drive the car (GT) on a uphill road, I smell something like burning plastics. I stopped the car and find the smell came from the front hood :confuse: . I repeated the uphill test for another two times. I did not smell anything during the last test. The salesperson told me the smell came from some spray on the engine, which protects the engine. It will go away after I put hundred miles on it. Did anyone notice such smell when driving a new CX-9.
BTW, which trim offer more comfort driving, touring or grand touring? Is the only real difference between touring and grand touring is wheel size? :confuse:
Will update my purchase price for 2012 model.
MSRP Price is $34,865
The price I paid is with a $500 cash rebate from dealer.
Also, I'm in the Seattle area. Hope this is helpful!
CX-9 GT with Bose/moon roof, Nav. Red/Sand color for $32,000. But I could not get 0% finance through Mazda. The dealer told me that I can not get cash incentive and 0% at the same time. It is probably not the best deal for a 2012 CX-9. But that all I can get in Utah. There are not many Mazda dealers here.
After we signed paper works, the dealer became much slower in processing our loan. I had to call them several times to push them. It is sad to have to go through this for a dear CX-9. I think Mazda could be destroyed by its custom service/dealership in USA though my last purchase experience with Scion was much worse. BERNARDI SCION in Framingham, MA forced us to take another car after we signed contract. Are there any honest, consistent dealership at all?
Wish I don't have to buy another car for a very very long time.
They are not the cheapest, sales or service, but they were treating us well, both for sale of new CX-9 and service or my 08 Mazda3. The whole purchase process was as comfortable as it could be: we had negotiated over e-mail and I wrote a check for the exact amount specified in the last e-mail. They did mention extended warranty while I was signing documents but did not mention it again when I said no to it. Now, if only the new Mazda6 offered cloth heated seats...
By the way, our previous dealership (Southern States Mazda in Durham, NC) were great in sales but only so-so in service, and the one before that (Open Road Mazda, NJ)... almost put me off Mazda for good.
So YMMV, I guess
You can check the inventory of any dealership on the MazdaUSA web site. Find the specific vehicle you want to ask if it is still in stock. Ask them to fax the quote to you.
We are with a credit union and so far have gotten a 4.5% for 72 Months up to $25,000. Will more than likely try financing at the dealership to see what we can get too. We are stopping by the dealership tomorrow to check out the CX-9 as well. We will keep this car for a while, so certified is the only way we'd go. Any thoughts?
I just purchased a 2012 Grand Touring CX-9. Edmunds is saying: 17mpg city and 24mpg highway. The reality is that I am averaging about 12 mpg in the city...super sucks. Who else is finding these creatures (sweet vehicle nevertheless) to have an inquenchable thirst?
Thanks for letting me know.
RSRP $37357, Paid $29500.
Dealer also arranged for 2.39% finanacing @ local savings bank.
Thanks!
There are a number of dealers closer to Boston with a ton of 2012's left. Quirk in Quincy, North Shore in Salem, Flood Mazda in Wakefield, Mastria in Raynham or Tasca in R.I. They all are or have in the last month advertised the huge savings of at least $7000 off a touring. They all have a lot of 2012s to unload as the 2013s start to roll in. If you're in the market, now's the time to do it!!! Ex., Flood is advertising on Autotrader.com a new 2012 Dolphin Gray Grand Touring, MSRP $40725, Sale Price $32320.
Just saw that Balise Mazda in West Springfield has 6 2012s at that discount. Hope this helps.
So here are the questions I need answered to provide you with the best feedback on the pricing you have been quoted-
Is it a FWD or AWD Touring model?
Does it have any dealer-installed options/accessories such as roof rack, mats, splash guards?
Is it Crystal White Pearl in color (costs extra $200)?
Where are you located (nearest major city will suffice)?
Based on the assumption that it is a Touring FWD with Technology Package and no other options/accessories and not Pearl White, the MSRP should be $36,025. The selling price for my location (Atlanta) is $31,980! You would need to add Sales Tax, Tax/Tag/Title fees and any mandatory Dealer Fee that isn’t negotiable.
I’m curious about something, if you don’t mind me asking. The Grand Touring with Tech Package costs slightly less than $2000 more than the Touring with Tech Package. The added features are a great value for $2000, in my opinion.
The Grand Touring with Tech Package adds-
20” Alloy Wheel and Tire Package
Bi-Xenon High-Intensity-Discharge Headlights w/ Auto On/Off
LED Daytime Running Lights
Rain-sensing Auto Wipers
Side-marker turn signal lights on side mirrors
Driver’s seat 3-position memory & side mirror memory feature
Tilt-in-reverse side mirror feature
Chrome Door Handles
Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror w/ Homelink Remote
Storage compartment added to 2nd row Armrest
Alarm System
What is your reason(s) for choosing the Touring instead of the Grand Touring? Is it just because you don’t want to spend the additional $2k? Or do none of the added features interest you (so they add no value for you)? Or are there other reasons? There are NO right or wrong answers, just an exercise based on curiosity!
One final note- An analysis for the total expense of owning and operating both models for 5-years and 75k miles is very interesting! The Grand Touring only costs $463 more to own and maintain for 5yrs/75k miles than the Touring model! Most of that $463 difference falls under the categories of Maintenance and Repairs- most likely it represents replacing the 20” tires once and allows for at least one Xenon bulb replacement.
By the way, the Grand Touring FWD with Tech Package has an MSRP of $38,015. The TrueCar Selling Price here in Georgia is only $33,945!
