#553 of 1122 Re: Tribute too small for 3 seats [jlsdas3] by coolmazda5 Dec 21, 2007 (1:16 pm)
Replying to: jlsdas3 (Dec 20, 2007 3:13 pm) I know what you mean, that is why the Mazda5 made the top of the list (2 times indeed ), it has many of the minivan features (sliding door for a garage or parking lot is just plain awesome) yet it drives, rides and handles great (including fuel economy). I know is not the same, but I would say an Odyssey would be in order?'   Tribute, that is what I guessed, bummer, it is a very decent SUV. I'm not into SUVs, but my friend loves it.
#554 of 1122 Any promotions in the next month? by david2 Dec 26, 2007 (8:56 am)
Hi all, I'm considering buying/leasing a Mazda5, and there seems to be a leasing special going on right now. Should I rush in or patiently wait until I really need it (late Jan to mid Feb). Is year end really the best time? Thank you!
#555 of 1122 Options Added by Dealer by rob222 Dec 27, 2007 (4:51 am)
Is it SOP for dealers to charge you the labor cost to add options onto the car you want buy? For example I agree to buy a car that does not include certain options that I desire, for example, Sirius radio The dealer tells me the cost of the option and labor cost to install it. Is this a skam? Replies to this message: jfritsch (Dec 27, 2007 6:36 am) osswaldg (Dec 27, 2007 4:24 pm)

Replying to: rob222 (Dec 27, 2007 4:51 am) Oh by no means. They can charge whatever they want to install stuff. Sirius and XM radio built in usually costs about 300-500 for the module and a dealer install. It is usually a poor value.   You can buy the xm sportster with a home and car kit and remote at sams or wal mart for $50. You can quickie install it with the suction cup windshield mount to evaluate in 5 minutes. You can just return it if you don't like it. You can also bring the receiver (and its $13.00/mo account)indoors and with a boom box in the park and such with some makes. To have the car mount and antenna professionally installed in your car with most brands would be about $140.   Good luck --jjf   Is it SOP for dealers to charge you the labor cost to add options onto the car you want buy?

Replying to: rob222 (Dec 27, 2007 4:51 am) When I did my original search for a Mazda 5 I was given the same answer that it would cost extra (labor) to install any the option. The point I didn't like was that the head salesperson at Towne Mazda (Orchard Park, NY) was to lazy to find out what the specific cost would be! Unless you need a car right now or it is a 2007 model I would order what you want that is what I did. The deals offered by Mazda since this car was introduced in 2006 have been been very limited for this model.
#558 of 1122 Help - Touring MSRP vs. Invoice pricing on Navigation System option by marshella Dec 28, 2007 (5:49 pm)
Edmunds.com does not on it's pricing options list for the Touring the cost or MSRP for the navigation system. It is standard on the Grand Touring, but not seen as an option on both the Sport or Touring (even in literature /sales brochure from Mazda). However, I've test drove a Touring so equipped and have seen some others. I'm going tomorrow to try and negotiate a fair price on a Touring with this Navigation system - and want to know the invoice cost. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance....   Marshella in Baltimore Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 29, 2007 7:02 am) marshella (Dec 29, 2007 7:17 am)

Replying to: marshella (Dec 28, 2007 5:49 pm) I show it as an option on the '07 Touring model. Perhaps the car you were driving was an '07?   In '07, the MSRP was $2000 and the invoice price was $1720. If it is available in '08, I would guess that the pricing would be similar.   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: marshella (Dec 29, 2007 7:17 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 29, 2007 7:02 am) Nope, it was an '08. And I've been looking at several '08 window stickers with the Navigation system as well (just don't have them here in front of me for the MSRP). Thanks for the prior year info - that I can definitely use as a basis for estimating the current year prices. I hadn't thoght of checking the '07 pricing.   Marshella
#561 of 1122 Got a new 08 Mazda 5 Grand Touring by nissmazlover Jan 04, 2008 (11:40 am)
I just posted a lengthy message in the general "Mazda 5" section of this forum, so I'll make this short.   I LOVE the car! I bought it AT INVOICE at the Manhattan Mazda dealer in, you guessed it, Manhattan, NY. That's what the dealer is called: Manhattan Mazda.   I was treated amazingly by the sales guy and by his manager - the one you meet with when you go into the dreaded "back room". But, even that experience was pleasant. They treated me with respect, dignity, friendliness and they did not pressure me to get anything I didn't want. In contrast, they tried any which way they could to save me money.   Turns out I was upside down 1K on my loan, so they added that onto my balance, plus taxes. Everything came out to under 25K and my loan interest and monthly payments went down, which I am very happy with especially considering it's a new and much improved car over the 06 Touring.   So, I genuinely recommend this dealer: Manhattan Mazda. Should you decide to go, please tell them that Hector sent you - that's me! I can't say the sales guy's name, but his first name rhymes with Prank. He's the best!
#562 of 1122 2008 Mazda5 Sport with 5-speed manual pricing by nihao4587 Jan 11, 2008 (3:20 pm)
Hi,   I am looking to buy an '08 Mazda5 sport with manual transmission in San Francisco Bay Area. After sending a few emails to the local dealers, the best one I got so far is:   Selling price $17,299 DMV fees $229.75 Tax (8.5%) $1,475.09 Total price $19,003.84   I am still waiting for other quotes to come in. But how do you guys think about this? Is it good enough or I can get even better? By the way, I asked for cash price without any financing or trades.   Thanks.
