Replying to: scottdude (Jul 13, 2003 12:50 pm) Dealer in Macon, GA this past weekend advertised a new 2005 Mazda Tribute, 4 cylinder, 5 speed, with air, for $14,990. I wanted automatic, and the best price was $18,000! Salesman told me that Mazda had given them an incentive on the 5 speed.

#91 of 333 Just bought a new Tribute... by vfrpete Dec 29, 2004 (11:18 am)
Replying to: scottdude (Jul 13, 2003 12:50 pm) ..2005, Pebble, S trim with: 4wd, 6cyl, 1PK, tow pack, side air bags/air curtains $21,199 plus T/T, from excellent rep at North Penn Mazda in PA. That's after 3000 rebate and 1000 MAC cash and 500 college grad. This after a terrible experience at Sussman Mazda (PA) who tried to rip me off and lied to me. Of note, if you're buying- 1. You CAN get the $1000 MAC cash for financing thru Mazda WITH the college grad rebate. 2. You CAN negotiate the MAC rate, don't believe it if they say it's 6.9! I'm at 5.3 with Mazda.
#92 of 333 2005 S by j647 Dec 30, 2004 (7:20 am)
2005 S model, 6cyl, auto trans, FWD (don't need AWD in NC), $18,300 after the 3000 rebate. No upgrade packages. I bought it the Saturday before Xmas, (went in the 1st week in Dec to test drive), and there was NOBODY in the showroom.   I drove an '04 in August, w/ 5-speed and it was about the same price although the '05's had come out.   I am not a big fan of the interior looks where the radio is but everything else is great.
#93 of 333 Great Tribute/Bad West Coast Mazda Dealer by swe Dec 30, 2004 (5:30 pm)
2005 Tribute GX-14 (with Convenience Package) 2.3L, FWD, 4 speed Automatic A/C, Cruise Control, etc. etc. Price: CAN $26,110 before taxes   Just love the car, nice exterior (Dark Titanium) and the interior very well laid out and stylish. The 2.3 liter engine is surprisingly powerful and the fuel consumption great (as per spec.)   The dealer West Coast Mazda in Pitt Meadows BC,was ok until I found a defect a few days after purchase (small damage to underside of lower moulding/bracket)probably caused during transport.   Sales Manager refused to take responsibility, instead blames customer and subsequently looses good customer. Stupid way to do business I think, save a few dollars on a minor repair and loose years of maintenance/service income.   Oh well, it's their loss, I still love my new Trib.

#96 of 333 '05 Tribute 5 speed, 4 cyl, FWD by lothar23 Jan 20, 2005 (2:18 pm)
Wish I had known about the $1000 rebate through Mazda financing...should have checked here before I bought...whoops.   Question - why, after 3500 mi am I only getting 21.5 mpg, when I do almost all Hwy driving, and at reasonable speeds?   rcinmd - funny, new mazdas are similar, and I switched from a Honda (Accord) also. Loved that car, but not a fan of CRVs.   Wasn't sure if FWD would be enough, but handles great in the snow.

Replying to: lothar23 (Jan 20, 2005 2:18 pm) From what I have read, people usually average 2-4 less mpg during colder months (look through some of the SUV posts). Maybe after winter that average will be closer to 25 or so..   I was lucky enough that my dealer was up front about all the incentives (of course I negotiated over the Internet and did my homework on pricing). It is highly possible that the dealer pocketed the rebate.. This is not uncommon (read Edmunds "Confessions of A Car Salesman" when you have time, you will learn a ton!)
#98 of 333 05 FWD Tribute S XA/6cyl by nanas2 Jan 22, 2005 (1:25 pm)
Platinum Metallic, Cloth, Tow PKG, Side Step Tubes, Rear Bumper Guard, All Weather Floor Mats, Spoiler, Cargo Net, Auto 4 spd. 430 miles.. We ended up financing 17,403 we gave 2500 down with 2600 for our trade. The dealer gave us 3500 cash back. Mazda financing disappointed us and would not match our institutions 6.5, We took 7.4 and will refinance in 6 months. The dealer Milo Gordon, Lawton, OK. was an OK experience. After reading some of the forums I think we did OK, but will do much better next time. My first new car buying experience
