Sounds like an excellent deal. I've had my Manual Mazda5 for little over a week, and we've taken 2 long drives; one to Central Florida and back for 600 miles and another down to Key Largo and back for about 200 miles. No complaints; roomy quiet, handles well, and feels stronger than 153 horsepower. We traded in a 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT 6 speed manual with the 180 horsepower Yamaha engine, and the Mazda 5 feels like it has the stronger engine.
If the offer does include the dealer fees and you like the car, and they're not going to take the deal away from you with high interest or extra fees in the finance room, I would say, go for it.

Dealer Holdback? by willis3
Jul 11, 2008 (6:53 am)

Hello Mazda5 owners,
 
I'm helping a friend purchase a Grand Touring model. They have a quote of $20,740, which is slightly below invoice. I do not know if this price includes the destination charge (hopefully will find out soon), but if anyone knows what the dealer holdback is, could you please let me know.
 
Do you think this is a good price - or can we do better?
 
Thanks.

Look up your vehicle in its used 07 version with 17000 miles and avg condition. The 19000 msrp sport auto barely wholesales for 13000 so the GT probably has a trade in value of about 15000. This is what your vehicle will be worth in 12 months. Do you really want to eat almost $6000 first year to drive this? A good price would be somewhere in the mid-high 18000s. I've know that the higher mpg vehicles may be in higher demand now, but I would certainly want to do better, in more off or favorable financing.
 
Good luck

Dealer holdback is $450.
 
Here's the deal my friend got on his Crystal White Pearl Mazda5 GT.
 
$20,740 + $635 Destination + NJ Sales Tax. Car included the the Electronic Dimming Mirror with compass.
 
0% financing for three years, but the did purchase the extended warranty from Mazda.

willis3,
 
How did the dealer make a decent profit on the GT?
dealer's true cost = invoice ($21698) - Dest - holdback + $160 (mirror) = $20773
your friend paid = $20740
$33 below cost? How is it possible?
Is it a brand new car? Or is it a test-drive car?
 
Thanks.

Signtime,
 
Although the dealer sold the vehicle less than invoice, they reached into the dealer holdback amount. The dealership, Wayne Mazda also appears to move a high volume of cars, so I think they are more concerned with the sale rather than how much they make on each vehicle.
 
Dealer invoice on the Mazda5 GT is $21,063. My friend had already received the quote via internet prior to us going into the dealership. The internet salesman was not there, so a regular salesman was assigned to us. When he brought the van out, it already had the mirror installed. We thought they might try tacking on the price of the mirror, but they honored their quote and sold the van for what they quoted.
 
The vehicle was brand new, only had 10 miles on the odometer.
 
Also, the white vehicle should be $200 more, for their Mica paint. They got a good deal, however, they purchased the extended warranty, so Mazda made some good money here.

Edmund shows Crystal White paint have $33 minus the whole value. so it is not $200 plus. but anyway, the $300 below invoice and $200 for the mirror=$500 below invoice still good deal. By the way, how much is the extended warranty? is it bumper to bumper?

Looks the winner is here. $869 below invoice.

We were quoted $17,500 for an automatic '08 Mazda5 Sport. There are no options added on to this vehicle. In your (well, anyone's) opinion, is this a good deal? This, as far as I can tell, includes the dealer fee. I am really excited about this vehicle. Had to trade in my minivan a while ago ( ) and we bought a Honda Civic. The Civic gets great gas mileage but doesn't handle kids and dogs well. My 16 year sits behind my husband with his knees pushed up against the seat.
