#294 of 536 05 MPV LX (base) by mcsap Feb 21, 2005 (7:27 pm)
Got it for $17,900 after all rebates etc. This was the teaser vehicle to get people in the door and than try to get them into a higher priced vehicle ( the saleslady told me this). We took it as it was. The only options were a roofrack and the rear bumper step cover.

Test drove an MPV. The misses and i fell in love with it. Bought a new 04 MPV LX plus with moon roof, power doors and side impact air bags. Listed at $26,640.00 we have use of the X-plan so this dropped us to $200.00 below invoice,minus $4,000.00 from Mazda, then financed through Mazda for an added $1,000.00 off (high rate but going to refinance for almost 1/3 the % rate). Before trade we where at $17,500.00. Not bad for now a days purchase of what I see as a quality sound vehicle.

Replying to: beajet (Feb 26, 2005 4:55 pm) Was this an 04 or an 05 model? I have access to the S-plan, too, but I can't seem to find anything online that will tell me the S-plan price per Mazda vehicle. What was the S-plan price for your MPV? Replies to this message: subearu (Mar 28, 2005 8:04 pm)

Replying to: beajet (Feb 26, 2005 4:55 pm) Just curious--Mazda gives you the $1,000 but does -not- essentially restrict refinancing in the "fine print" or levy an excessive prepayment penalty? Seems like a good way for a company to lose some serious bucks by relying on people just not wanting to go to the inconvenience of refinancing.

#300 of 536 Re: Loan Payoff by newhampster Apr 15, 2005 (8:39 pm)
Replying to: lumbar (Mar 28, 2005 4:44 pm) Yep, Mazda is fairly generous offering a $1,000 discount and not having a pre-payment penalty. Of course the rate is market rate (7.25% in our case 2/05), and they are hoping that enough customers will stick with them rather than go through the hassle of refinancing. Our dealer said "please make at least 3 payments or the dealership will have to pay Mazda an early termination fee." Fair enough.
#301 of 536 $3,000+ Incentive Offer Still Valid by newhampster Apr 15, 2005 (8:58 pm)
Mazda is continuing the $3,000 dealer incentive at least through April. I think their reasoning is "We are spending about 3 cents on marketing, so lets take the money saved and pass it on as a dealer incentive." Spotty effectiveness. Not much buzz to get people in the showroom to begin with, particularly when they are up against the cachet/modernity of the Honda and Toyota, and the aggressive pricing of the Dodge/Chrysler and Kia minivans. But they also want to focus attention on their new Mazda5 mini-minivan, so the MPV is left in the shadows. And Consumer Reports is still giving the MPV a black dot even though it appears the transmission problem is past history. From what I can tell, build quality is excellent.   Too bad, we like our 2005 MPV. Bought in Feb '05 -- list $25,724 bought for $19,800 out the door with $3,000 dealer incentive, $1,000 MAC financing incentive, and $1,924 dealer discount (about $200 above invoice). And this is from a dealer not known for big discounts -- helped a lot having a competitor willing to sell at $100 above invoice.   They may be also laying low marketing-wise because of the 6 month(?) gap in availability from the fire at their Japanese manufacturing plant. This is probably starting to show up now in spotty trim availability.
#302 of 536 Why is this forum "dead"? by hansienna May 24, 2005 (3:17 pm)
The Mazda MPV is too nice for the lack of interest in this forum.
#303 of 536 Re: New MPV Release Date? [newhampster] by abang May 25, 2005 (1:13 pm)
Replying to: newhampster (Feb 11, 2005 10:53 pm) The latest I heard on autoblog.com is that Mazda is considering dropping the MPV from the North American market. The new MPV is based on the Mazda 6 chassis and will still be about the same size as the current MPV. Mazda does not think there's a market for small mini vans in the USA. They are considering the Mazda 5 as their product for the mini van market. Too bad, I'm one of those who don't like driving porkers such as the Sienna, Odyssey and Quest.
