$17,6K (+tax and tags) for sport (manual) with popular equipment package Lakeland Mazda in FL. Price was achieved without any haggling through the internet department and the dealership experience was excellent in every way.

M5 Sport A/T mp3 & AutoDimming Mirror by canhatip

I got a M5, sport, A/T, 6CD/mp3 & Auto-Dimming mirror w/ compass&Temp for $18,500+TTL. TownNorth Mazda in Richardson,TX (DFW metroplex) has given me the best deal in this area. The only problem is the 6CD/mp3 (dealer installed option) is still not available and the dealer says it is back-ordered. I contacted MazdaUSA and they said it will be available in 2 weeks time... will see...

Auburn Valley Mazda has terrible customer service, these are the same people that told me to get lost when i tried to price haggle over email. The following is the reply i got from the sales manager:
 
No thank you, I decided that your business is not in my best interest as my experience tells me that every time we get someone who is looking to get every cent is not someone I want to do business with. Olympia can have your business (loss)
Sincerely,
 
Yes and guess who i gave my business to? It was all good anyways since Thurston county has lower sales tax.

You can't be serious that a dealer would write such an offensive email to anybody, let alone a prospect customer.
 
I understand that they are open for business to make money, so if they couldn't make a price that low for whatever reason, then they could have just said "No deal". Any word that came after "No deal" is just offensive and unnecessary.
 
I'm glad that you brought your deal to somewhere else.

Yep i was blown away reading the email. I even went as far as filing a complaint with owner of the car dealership, even thought about escalating it to headquarters but it would be just a waste of time.
 
Lesson learned? Not all of them are sharks but they are out there.

I want a Mazda 5!!! by craigmri

Been test driving a dozen cars and have been bouncing back and forth on Sedans, then 5 door hatchbacks now after driving the Mazda 5 my wife and I are sold! True we'll spend a couple thousand more than the '06 Sonata we were diggin' but this thing has us both jazzed up!
 
Here's what we want:
 
Touring W/Auto, and Navi.
 
Now the million dollar question. What is our target price before tax, Title and Tag? If the invoice is around $21,000 should I start at $20,000 and see who bites?

2007 Model? by ansatzjp

Is there any rumour of 2007 model coming out soon? If it's coming out pretty soon, I'd rather wait for one or two months to get some more discount.

Your certainly welcome to offer anything you want...but if somebody makes an offer that is well below cost you won't be considered a serious buyer.
Think about it....how would you feel if the dealer came back to you at $1000 over MSRP? Games can be played by both sides.

Good experience buying Sport by shawr

Did email pricing at various dealers in MA, mixed responses in terms of serious quotes. General story was that Mazda isn't offering any dealer incentives on the M5. But Ira Mazda in Danvers came through with what I wanted (Sport with moonroof option only, 5sp manual tranny) at $17.5K. I didn't care about the color but since my wife wanted the platinum the GM swapped for it way the hell and gone in CT! Threw in the foglights/wheel locks/cargo net too. Total out-the-door cost for a great car was $18665 with no inspection charge and full tank! Sales rep was very patient and helpful also. Highly recommend this agency.

My failed buying experience by newowner1

Hi all,
I thought I should share my failed experience. I've been trying to trade-in my 2005 9-2x for a 2006 Mazda5. Went to two dealers. I negotiated a price of 18,200 for a sport auto, but rejected the dealer's offer of 14,500 on my trade. This dealer refused to move up on the trade.
 
Dealer 2 gave me 15,300 for the trade-in, after some negotiation, but then refused to negotiate down from MSRP for a sport manual! He was willing to throw in $200 worth of options though.
 
In any event, I left both dealerships without a Mazda5. I think the trade-in was causing some problems. I think I'm giving up. I'm going to wait for more competition from other 6/7 seaters (i.e., the Rondo, Rav 4, and the new Santa Fe), keep my Saab, and wait until my 1997 Altima falls apart (which may be a while because the thing is rock solid).
