Replying to: 73chevyimpala (Aug 31, 2008 2:59 am) I used the web to get quotes and to start a bidding war among dealerships. Matt Castrucci Mazda in Dayton was great--fast, friendly, honest, and detail-oriented through the whole process. We wanted the galaxy gray cover, but there weren't any left on the lot. We could've ordered one, but the dealer said he'd knock off $300 if we took one of his lot. Fortunately, my wife really liked the golden sand color once she saw it in person (the car's for her). Depending on the lighting, it either looks gold, tan, pale green, or all the above. People seem to love it or hate that color. So long as my wife's happy, I am, too. I think I read every last consumer comment on this car before purchasing, including this forum--thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts. We couldn't be happier with this car. |

In researching what I should pay for an '08 Mazda 5 Touring, I found this web site, which includes a free spreadsheet for figuring what the dealer actually paid for a new car, and what you should pay for it: link title Eye-opening, and very handy--this assured me that I got a good deal on our purchase. The web site has a lot of useful info on other aspects of the car-buying experience, as well. |

Purchase Date: 9/10/2008 Dealership: Anderson Mazda Location: Crystal Lake, IL (near Chicago) Year: 2008 Trim: Touring Price: $20,420 (including dest charge) + TTL, and 3.9% financing for 48 months MSRP: $21,595 (including dest charge) Factory-Installed Accessories: Compass/Auto-dimming mirror Color: Stormy Blue After having a horrible experience with Schaumburg Mazda, I submitted an Internet request to three other dealerships on Sunday morning. Anderson called me that afternoon and after a 2 minute conversation and call-back in 20 minutes had located a car and quoted me a good price. They sent a spreadsheet showing how they got from MSRP to out the door. I submitted a list of 8 accessories that I wanted to purchase at the same time and install myself. MSRP was $530 and they offered to sell them to me at $465, which is slightly over invoice. This sealed the deal. The rest of the process went pretty well with a 2-day wait to dealer trade the vehicle and some waiting during the closing process (mainly at the handoff between sales and finance.) |

we are picking up our copper red 09 grand touring 5 this afternoon. Great experience with Sussman Mazda in Willow Grove, PA. Price was $22400 +ttd including the following: Sirius radio, ipod attachment, remote starter, door guards, wheel locks, rr bumper guard, removable roof rack and bicycle rack. My research tells me that is about $200 below their actual price. Sounds good to me.

Replying to: zolix (Aug 22, 2008 9:18 pm) But...if you use the warranty for one thing you won't get anything back from what you paid on the warranty. So if you paid $1000 for the warranty and you need $500 in warranty repairs, if you use the warranty you won't get the other $500 back. More than likely you'll have a few minor (less than $1000 repairs prior to 100,000 miles at which point you'll either have to pay the repair cost or lose the purchase price of the warranty. BTW, what did you pay for the warranty?
