Did not need "original advertised offer" by drspongklong

Bought my Mazda5 yesterday, Touring Automatic with Nav. Paid $21,022 minus Gerber rebate of $500 plus TTL. After negotiating with the price, I showed the dealer my Gerber rebate certificate. I did not have the "original advertised offer" but they did not bother to ask for it. The certificate is enough.

drspongklong,
 
Just to clarify, you paid $21,022 - $500 Gerber rebate = $20,522 (+TTL)?
 
I'm looking to purchase the same model this week and want to make sure I can get the best price.
 
Does the $500 Gerber rebate automatically knock down the price or does Mazda send a check back to the customer?
 
Also, can any NAV owners provide more detailed feedback on its use?
 
thanks for your help!

In early July, I put a deposit down at Maple Shade Mazda for a Platinum Silver Mazda5 Sport. It's supposed to come in this week...can't wait!
 
Here are the details:
 
Sport
Platinum Silver
Auto
Fog Lights
Wheel Locks
 
Price = ($18,635 - $500 Gerber Rebate) = $18,135 + TTL

Yes, that's exactly the price I paid but I forgot to mention that I had a trade in which I am happy about the price that I got for it too. And yes, they automatically deduct the Gerber rebate. Regarding the nav, I'm new to it and have not activated it yet but looking at its manual, it looks like its easy to use. It's also voice activated.

Paretti Mazda in Metaire, Louisiana. It took me a week and three visits to get the deal. They had to call me home twice until they decided to give in to the price I wanted for my trade in and for their car.

Gerber Rebate by donzoom

A bit of news to all of the people who would like obtain the Gerber component of the rebate. I know some of you have stated that you have had success obtaining the 500.00 discount without the cupon... but I would be the one who they didn't accept it from. LoL
 
Anyhow, I joined the Gerber website last Fri 7/22, and then I sent them an email very nicely asking how to obtain it.
 
A reply came yesterday outlining the steps, and then the assured me that the ad was being sent to me and that it should arrive in a few days.
 
I love it when a plan comes together... makes me wanna Zoom Zoom down to the supermarket and purchase a case of Gerber baby food.
 
You know I actually think I shall do that and take it over to the Salvation Army!
 
That was so very kind of them...

Congrats on getting the rebate to work for you!
 
Just to add in my experience:
 
I contacted Gerber and got the ad in the mail from them about a week later. I also got the Mazda certificate through the MazdaUSA website. So, I was all set, except that I'm still waiting for my Mazda5 to come in (I put a deposit down on July 2 and I'm still waiting), and my Mazda certificate expires tomorrow!
 
So I went back to the MazdaUSA website a few days ago, filled out the form again (using my wife's name and email address this time), and they sent me a new certificate good through the end of September. Whew!
 
So, in my experience, you CAN get a 2nd certificate if the 1st one expires before you get the chance to use it. What a great program!

NAV use by momstoy

We purchased a Phantom Blue Touring 5spd w/ NAV. So far I've been using the NAV for little things like going to a friend's house or home just for kicks. The voice activation thing is cool for ease of use such as zooming out/in, spliting the screen to have half zoomed in half zoomed out, finding the nearest gas station, restaurant, etc. The thing that I don't like about the voice activation is that for more complex command you need to remember the exact wording programmed into the system and it's not always intuitive. Most of the voice commands can be done on the fly, while inputing an address is not able to be done unless the car is at a full stop. Today, I realized that 90% of the time I'm driving where I know where I'm going. I probably will only use the NAV once a week. If you are using the NAV when you turn off the car - it will automatically open when you start the car again - if you aren't using the NAV when you turn off the car, it will stay closed until you push the button to open. Overall, I'm very happy that we got the NAV option. (unfortunately my husband still gets us lost even while having it because he refuses to put an endpoint in thinking that his mapskills will be enough to get us there )
