Replying to: nihao4587 (Jan 11, 2008 4:20 pm) 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 |

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.

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!

Replying to: renu_p (Feb 03, 2008 12:33 pm) 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)

Replying to: edik (Feb 04, 2008 6:18 am) 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.

From Blue Ridge Mazda, Lee's Summit, Missouri Mazda 5 Grand Touring / Stormy Blue Mica Added Port Installed Options: Sirius Satellite Radio Remote Start Auto-Dimming Mirror w/ Homelink All Weather Mats Rear Bumper Protector Wheel Locks Bottom Line w/ Destination: $23,520 (about $1K over invoice  ) But this is still $980 less than having those items added at another dealer who had a copper red one on the lot with only the rear bumper protector. Now we just have to wait... and wait... and wait. |

Just signed for a silver 2008 Mazda 5, GT (Canadian model) with leather and auto. Funny that I didn't read much from this forum about this car until after I bought it. The out of door price is insane comparing to the US price (cdn $32,100), in addition to what come with a GT leather, I also got the rust proof, under coating, and paint protection, cargo cover, and all weather mats. I think I could drive the price down another 200 - 300 but was too excited  We considered Honda CRV (1st choice at time), and Toyota RAV4. Really liked the 08 CRV but really hate the fact Honda Canada thinks the Canadian customers are all suckers. The EX we liked (moon roof, no leather) would be around $40,000 on the road. And that is more expensive than a RAV4, V6, 7 seater. We have a Civic ( just sold my Del Sol the day before buying the 5), we thought we'd be lifetime Honda customers but sad to say they have completely lost us. BTW, I know the price is much higher in Canada, so the same applies here to with the 5. But at least there is the 0% financing for 60 months so that's like a few thousand saving over the years. Anyway, very happy for the decision made. The only problem is we have to wait for probably over a month as ours is in production this month in Japan. The sales manager told us it would be at least a month before we get it. He also said if MSRP drops before we get the car, we'll get the difference too, and we'll get the 0% no matter what. So, I'm now hoping they drop the price on 5 and lift the 0%
