Incentive by funktion-el

The $1750 dealer cash is in fact in play for the '09 Mazda5. The only thing holding me back at this point is the fact that '10 models are right around the corner and it has been verified that although there will be a slight price increase ~$500, the 2010 Mazda5 will come standard with stability control. You can see for yourself at the safecar.gov website link here:

If you scroll to the bottom you can see it clearly states stability control will be standard.
 
Happy motoring!

Need your guys' opinion.
I am helping my aunt/uncle with buying a mazda5.
However my aunt seems to think that come Sept, the incentives on the 09s will be better than it is now.
I am concerned about dealer inventory and whether or not the current 1750 in dealer cash will disappear or not next month.
Thoughts?

It certainly makes sense that 09 inventory will continue to shrink over time, so the longer she waits, the fewer 09 choices will be available. However, the dealers I've talked to think that the $1,750 rebate is likely to continue on 09s and may even increase. That makes sense given the widespread concern in the industry that the CFC-fueled sales spike in July/August included a lot of sales that would otherwise have occured during 4Q09 and winter 2010. If that's the case, sales may be terrible for the next 6 months, which could put a lot of pressure on manufacturers to extend or increase incentives.

So do you think we should pull the trigger on a 09 mazda5 now or wait until next month?
I just don't want to be in the worst situation possible which is the dealer cash disappears and only 2010s are in stock. We could potentially lose over $2k because of these 2 factors.

Regardless of the incentive, I would see how low of a price you can get today now that the CARS program has ended. The "what others are paying" on TMV has changed quite a bit since we bought our car just a month ago today because of CARS so I wouldn't go by that just now. Why don't you start by trying to get a few email quotes and bring them back here to see what people think. We paid $18,000+ for our Touring (options were all weather floor mats, cargo net, wheel locks and bumper guards) after all incentives and feel like we got a very fair deal.

Ultimately, you're going to have to make that call yourself - no one has a crystal ball on how things are going to play out so there are risks either way. No harm in getting some quotes now to see what kind of a deal you can get. I will probably wait a month before seriously shopping again, because I think the incentives will continue on 09's and I think sales over the next month will be very weak which (i hope) will make dealers more willing to cut a better deal than they might today.

cars.com shows $500 incentive - c4c? by vikg

Hi folks, I'm trying to buy a Sport Automatic in Seattle. I was looking at cars.com to see if their incentives data matches what Edmunds and other sites indicate. According to http://www.cars.com/go/advice/incentives/incentivesModel.jsp?zc=98112&myid=10292- , there is a $500 cash incentive on all three trim lines.
 
Is this cash 4 clunkers, or perhaps a new end of model year rebate?
 
Thanks,
Vik

Following up to my own post, University Mazda in Seattle appears to have the rebate on their site.
 
According to http://www.umazda.com/NewModelsPage, the 2009 Mazda5 can be had for "0.9% APR for up to 36 MONTHS PLUS $500 Customer Cash (7)".
 
Doesn't sound like cash4clunkers ... anybody know what's up here?
 
Thanks!

Dealer's Reply on OTD (Out-The-Door) Price by bgrass2
Sep 02, 2009 (7:33 am)

I requested, as recommended in this thread, the OTD price on a Mazda5, Sports Trim with AT, and no options from a dealer in KY.
 
The Manager replied with the following:
 
"Here is your price on this 09 Mazda 5 Sport automatic. Microbe 19855.00 sale price is $17949.00 + $1649.17 TLF = $19,598.17."
 
Does this translate to:
 
The low MSRP is 19855.00
 
and, his OTD price is
 
$17949.00 ($17,899 Invoice + $50 dealer add-on )
+$1649.17 TLF (TLF is the acronym for Tax, License, and Fees - ???)
_________
 
$19,598.17 (OTD) Price - ???
 
Here in KY; the Sales Tax is 6%, and the Title and Registration Fees are $13.00 and $21.00, respectively. (Title and Registration Fees combined total is $34.00).
 
Edmunds' TMV on 9-2-09 for this vehicle indicates that the price others are paying is $18,771 ($122 over invoice).
 
If I add on the 6% KY Sales Tax to the $18,771 TMV Price, it comes to $19897.26.
 
What I think may be the Dealer's quoted OTD price of $19,598.17 is $299.09 less than $19897.26.
 
Is this possible? I would think that the dealer charges a documentation fee in addition to the $750 Destination Charge fee.
 
Perhaps the dealer is using a $500 Customer Cash incentive in his computations.
 
Or, am I completely off base in my translation of the manager's quote? I feel like I need to get the manager to fax me his offer (if it is one), before I step one foot on the dealership lot for his also offered test drive.
 
TLF is the acronym for Tax, License, and Fees?
 
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

If I read your story right, the dealer is offering you to buy the car for the 17949 + tax, license and fees. 6% tax on that brings it up to only 19025.94 though. So I don't know if it's really $573 for license and fees or if there is some other trickiness going on. I would clarify exactly where that $573 is going.
 
Cash 4 Clunkers has cleared out the sitting inventory of Mazda5's, as evidenced by the sales numbers Mazda posted yesterday for August: http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS203557+01-Sep-2009+PRN20090901. I tried to buy a couple Sport AT models sitting on Seattle area dealer lots over this past weekend, and was being offered something like 18,900 + tax, license, and fees. By comparison people on this board were buying the very same car for 17000+TLF in July.
 
So you have to decide if that price works for you (and of course get to the bottom of the $573). The guy is still making plenty of money; these cars have a $1750 factory-to-dealer incentive ("dealer engagement cash") and holdback and all sorts of other kickers.
 
Good luck,
Vik
