#567 of 1129 Re: manual transmission and color choices for Mazda5 [coolmazda5] by biogeo Jan 11, 2008 (8:57 pm)
Replying to: coolmazda5 (Jan 11, 2008 5:34 pm) Byers Mazda in Columbus Ohio has at least two Mazda5 touring with MT: stormy blue and white. Mind that only white is listed on the dealer web site: byersmazdasubaru.   Brown's Alexandria Mazda 7400 Richmond Hwy. Alexandria, VA 22306 has four touring Mazda5 with manual transmission: Brown's Alexandria Mazda   Rosenthal Mazda of Arlington and Rosenthal Mazda of Gaithersburg have couple of "call for transmission" Mazda5 that might be touring with manual.   Also, it seems that Mazda5 touring with MT (as well as white, blue and black Mazda5 with MT ) were only available during the first production cycle and at least currently cannot be ordered.   Finally, my sincere thanks to rob222 for head-up.   George Replies to this message: coolmazda5 (Jan 12, 2008 5:06 am)

Replying to: biogeo (Jan 11, 2008 8:57 pm) Thanks for the info, I now remember you mentioning that earlier ... Post some pics when available, that will definitely make it a rare find and a must get (almost like a collectible )   Added: I can see the pictures now for the Ohio one, great find!!

Replying to: nihao4587 (Jan 11, 2008 3:20 pm) Price quotes updates (from San Francisco Bay Area):   Menlo Mazda: 19,300 Fremont Mazda: 18,536 Oakland Mazda: 18,436 (used to be 19,003 before I showed them the offer from Fremont)   Both are out-of-door prices. Should I grab the best one now or do you think the price of '08 Mazda5 sport MT will be significantly lower after mid-year? I planned to buy the car when it first came out, but I am not in a hurry by any means.   Thanks. min
#570 of 1129 Lease question... by jpaperguy Jan 20, 2008 (10:16 pm)
Edmunds is showing the Lease special going on. I'm new to leasing and have a question. It reads: "Lease is based on a 2008 Mazda5 Grand Touring. Dealer may contribute up to $250 towards the $296 monthly special." What does the word "contribute" mean? I also don't understand how they want a $1,405 down payment but $2,296 is due at signing. What's the extra amount for?   Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: dickthebutcher (Jan 21, 2008 8:08 pm)

Replying to: jpaperguy (Jan 20, 2008 10:16 pm) I won't tackle the first question, because I've never seen an ad phrased that way before. I can give you at least a partial answer to the second question. A lot of dealers require you to make the first month's payment when you sign the contract, and that is not usually included in the down payment. There could also be a security deposit required that's not included in the down payment. I would try to stay away from the deal if that's the case, though, because most good lease deals waive any security deposit nowadays. Read the fine print -- most of the answers are there if you look closely.
#572 of 1129 Mazda5 Sport Auto, Pref Pkg by edik Feb 02, 2008 (5:15 pm)
Two days ago I paid in Jacksonville,FL 2008 Mazda5 Sport Auto with Pop.Eq. package $18450. Out of the door price ~19500.   Almost got an optional fog lights for the same price, but I've made a mistake by going to another dealership (B) and telling them the quotes from the previous one (A). As it came out later, they were affiliates and they contacted each other. Dealer B gave me ridicoluosly low price for trade-in and high price for the new one. It gave dealer A the opportunity to erase from the original deal the fog lights - "we gave you the good price anyway, even without the fog light, we know that you went to dealer B and know what numbers they proposed".   Since we have only 3 dealers in the city in can be the scheme. I would give an advise, do not tell the quote from another dealer (unless you are 100% positive they are not related) - if they want to give you a good price, they will give you anyway (if you not afraid of giving them crazy_low_numbers), but do not give them the opportunity to play with you.   P.S. I love the car! Replies to this message: renu_p (Feb 03, 2008 11:33 am) edik (Feb 04, 2008 5:18 am) tygger (Feb 17, 2008 7:48 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: edik (Feb 02, 2008 5:15 pm) it is good that you love the car. these car dealers i think i have an advantage over buyers because they have done the selling many times before and know the routine. know when the buyer is going to buy anyway. for us the buyers : it is one experience or multiple but limited to number of cars we buy. i think the dealer A should have kept his word/deal instead of removing the fog lights. if you have the deal in writing you could still try. you could go to the manager or say you would. overall i think you did well to choose a good vehicle and to do some comparison shopping and know that it is best deal you could have got anyway. did you get e-mail or fax quotes? and then bargain further from there? i do not know how far it works and how much lower one can go from receiving the 'free quote', 'quote from web site'. how is the mpg so far?

Replying to: renu_p (Feb 03, 2008 11:33 am) You right, we can't beat them in this selling-buying department. And I'm absolutely positive, even if you feel you got a good deal, there will be always the area where you lost. I did not have a chance to talk to the manager (he was late on Fri) but I left a message and still waiting for his call. The dealer himself did not care if i go to the manager. You are right, once you've made a promise you have to keep it (it was in writing in Email), but for him(them) it was all conditional.   The mpg I did not have a chance to measure it properly yet - still running on the first tank, but by how the analog moving it looks like it can be 24-25. (straight roads driving with min traffic and lights) Replies to this message: tygger (Feb 17, 2008 7:48 pm) kivo (Feb 18, 2008 9:09 am)
#575 of 1129 Re: Mazda5 Grand Touring AT by tygger Feb 17, 2008 (7:48 pm)
Replying to: edik (Feb 04, 2008 5:18 am) Hi everyone,   I went to the dealer to negotiate for a grand touring w/ auto trans and have a few questions.   1. Is the invoice price on the sticker window the invoice I should be going by?   2. I got quoted $21000, but when I told them I wanted the 1.9% financing, they wanted to add $500 to the cost. Is this right?   3. What price should I be targeting for a automatic grand touring?   Thank you in advanced. Replies to this message: kivo (Feb 18, 2008 9:09 am)

Replying to: tygger (Feb 17, 2008 7:48 pm) I have the Consumer Reports New Car Price Report for the Mazda5. For the Grand Touring, the total MSRP is $23000, including the $635 destination charge. The CR Bottom Line Price is $21111, so it looks like your $21000 was a good deal. Anything close to $21111 is good. I'll be looking in a few weeks for the same thing.
