You may purchase the oil filters and O rings as a kit at: Mazdastuff.com better price than the dealer but add shipping, I ordered several to help offset that cost.
 
You also might want to check out this website on changing the oil.

Stumbled on the 5... by beach15

After re-stumbling (always knew about it, but forgot) on the Mazda 5 due to seeing the name mentioned again, it's become one of the big contenders in my search for a new, fuel efficient, stylish, high quality, and practical vehicle. Was really astounded to see a 5, even as a 6 seater and with great features, is priced right at the same level as a midget 3...another Mazda I love, but definitely a less usable vehicle.
 
Poked around some local inventory on Mazdausa.com and found a--theoretically--desirable Galaxy Gray Sport with only all-weather mats and wheel locks. Even for the MSRP for $19723, I'm still amazed at that. Fired off a quote request to the dealer (who I've never dealt with, especially always buying GM for so many years), and am already thrilled with their response.
 
The quote was great (I think):
Vehicle: '08 Mazda 5 with All-Weather Mats and Wheel Locks
MSRP: $19,723
Discount: $1,888
Final Price: $17,835
 
With an invoice apparently around $18,500 or so, this seems like a GREAT deal. No rebates, of course, but teamed with the current lower Mazda financing...even more so. About $800 under invoice, on the first try and with a email response in 10 minutes.
 
I still need to sell my current old boat of a car and want to drive some different things, but I'm so interested in the 5 now especially because of the price, it's in the lead. Other top pick is the Honda Fit, which is a bit dorky but very high quality and efficient--and a quick seller, with very tiny discounts. Given the economy it seems the 5 also can actually get, more power to it.

Read my last few messages in this forum. Both the 07 vibe,matrix and mazda5 wholesale for about 13000 or less (kbb.com nada.com). This is what your 08 will trade for in 12 months. $18500 is mediocre, hardly great. That said the Fit is overpriced and you are probably looking at a 09 vibe or matrix, (preferably in the low 17000's) 08 mazda5 or mazda3. (preferably in the 16000's for the 19000 msrp models) Of course $1500 or so towards favorable financing helps. I imagine 1.9% for 60 months would be worth about 2000 or more, if your credit is good. More if your credit is nicked.
 
Good luck

I went to few dealers last weekend, the lowest deal I got for the white pearl mazda5 sport a/t no options is about $17300 not including ttl, does it looks like a good deal? Should I wait for the 09 model? The biggest concern is the Mazda doesn't has good rating on mechanic (maybe because it is ford engine), but all the dealers claims this a very low supply high demand car, is this true or just B/S???

A reporter from a national newspaper is looking to speak to consumers who just purchased a new Mazda5 within the past six months and whether it had anything to do with gas prices. If you’re interested in speaking to the reporter, please contact Chintan Talati at ctalatiedmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than June 23, 2008.

'08 Mazda 5 sport by liamlunchtray

5speed manual sport with no other options. Silver/Black Interior
 
$16,995 including destination at Wellesley Mazda in MA. Very pleasant transaction with no sleaziness or unexpected fee's. Price quoted over email to match a price I had gotten from Wayne Mazda in NJ. Next closest price I had gotten locally was $17.700 at Ira and they were very confrontational and seemed to think they were doing us a favor by selling us a car. We've had it for 2 weeks and are VERY pleased. It is replacing a 1st Gen Scion xB. The Scion was great but we just outgrew it and needed the 3rd row.

Bought manual 5 in So. Florida by hh1799

Quoted $16.989 on email by dealer including dealer fees for manual. Went to closer dealer (Eddie Accardi in Ft. Lauderdale area) who would not match first dealer's quote, low balled on our trade, and was totally rude and obnoxious. Would not recommend Eddie Accardi Mazda under any circumstances.Contacted original dealer in Palm Beach County who honored their quote with no hesitation, games, gimmicks or add-ons, and could not have been nicer. No manual transmission locally. Car is being delivered from Orlando area for no additional charge, and will take delivery tomorrow of 5 speed Red Mazda 5 Sport at $16,989 plus tax and actual fees for title. After delivery I will provide name of selling dealer.

Congrats on your new 5!! I'm also a S. Floridian shopping for a new 5 replacing my wife's Sienna's, that the lease will be up soon. So, thanks for the heads up on your experience with the good and bad dealer. I'll certainly consider Palm Beach County when quoting a Red Mazda 5 Sport, although my wife insists on an automatic transmission.
Assuming that the $16,989 total amount includes the $635 destination charge, you actually may be at $495 below invoice price ($17,484) which is great! Did you get any MAC cash back?
 
Drive safe,

emailed a bunch of dealers in the metro Atlanta area via edmunds and only got 2 replies (1 with an actual quote - Mazda of Roswell). bought our red copper w/ sand interior mazda5 at around 18900, which the salesman said was 500 under invoice. finance guy said i only qualified for the 4.960mnths. i told him i was gonna shop around and gave us the 3.960mnths!
 
traded in my scion tc (good by sports car, hello sports wagon!).
 
loving the 3rd row/cargo space and ride height of the back, esp with a 14 month old girl.
 
what do you guys think? did i pay too much?

Hi pcantore,
We bought the car from Palm Beach Mazda on Military Trail in West Palm. The price of $16,989 DID include destination charge. Dealership honored the 3.9% 60 month financing promotion. In addition we received $500 in gas cards on top of the deal. We picked up the car tonight; it was swapped from Ed Morse in New Port Ritchy. Palm Beach Mazda could not have been better. The copper red/cloth sand 5 speed manual car came through with pin striping, side and rim guards. No extra charge for 200 mile delivery or unexpected extras. Palm Beach Mazda was a pleasure every step of the way. Hope I will continue to be as happy with the car as I am with the dealer.
