Also, I did purchase the extended warranty. Original quote was $1758 for 7yr/100K. I showed her a quote from Ford/Mazda that I got over the internet for $1035 for 8yr/100k. She brought the price down to $1378, then added a $50 coupon. So for $1328, we'll feel safe for 7 years. Also zero deduct. if service is done with that dealer.

I didn't purchase the Ford warranty because as of today, Ford no longer owns Mazda, according to the finance person at the Mazda dealer. Mazda is apparently a subsidiary of Chase Bank. If you look at the link below, it still says Mazda at the top, but you can no longer purchase Mazda warranties. As of yesterday, Mazda was still available. Considering the banking world today, I hope Mazda sticks around for a while. http://www.authorizedfordwarranties.com/ford/pricing.html |

I wanted to pass along info on how I bought a new 2008 Mazda 5 Sport Silver Automatic. Warning – long post. I purchased it $17K and out the door with processing, tax, tags came out to $18,001. It did have over 500 miles on it, and was told that this was usual (unfortunately, we had already agreed on the price and was in the middle of the paperwork before I realized this “excessive mileage” and may have walked out...wondering still if I will kick myself for this oversight). It was not a deal breaker for us, because we thought we were getting a deal, anyway. The price was about $500 cheaper than at least three dealers for a similar car. I did what everyone recommended which was to do a search on Edmunds.com, Consumer Reports, etc. on new cars, specifically looking only at 2008 Sport or Base models within a 200 mile radius. I got emails within 24 hours from most of them. I then checked out each dealer’s inventory to see the colors and options. We did not want or need any options, so did not look at leather or upgrades. Many cars had cargo cover, wheel locks, cargo net, etc. Our model ended up with cargo net, wheel locks, and rear bumper guard and msrp of $19,855. There is a $1000 dealer engagement rebate in October, which some dealerships shared this info and some did not. Many emails were sent back and forth, with some dealers insisting I come into the dealership BUT I remained firm and did not go to the showroom, until they gave me an offer on a car. Bought at Brown's at Chantilly, VA. Their emails "promised" a great deal because they are a new dealer. I got competitive offers from several dealerships who want to unload their 2008 models. There are still some cars available in many dealerships when I looked last week. Entire research, emails and purchase was two weeks. I wanted to thank everyone who posted on here because it really helped me make a decision between a RAV4, Kia, and Hyundai. I thought the M5 was the best deal for a car that offered carry more than 5 people and was under $20K. I've been driving a 98 Pontiac so driving the M5 has been smooth and easy. |

| I am planning to buy a new 09 Mazda5 GT. I am eligible for a Ford employee discount through a family member. Does anyone know if that is the best deal going or could I still get a further discount off the MSRP by inviting dealers to bid online? Also of note: so far availability with the options/colors I want has been somewhat of an issue. Perhaps I would have more of a choice by going this route? Thanks for any input. | |

Got quotes from as many NH dealerships as I could. Prices ranged, (not including title & admin fee) from $17395 - $17895. The lowest quote was from Werner Mazda in Manchester, NH where I purchased my Tribute a few years ago (under the Talarico name). The quote was for their gray model, however. My wife insisted that the gray color looked a little like lavendar under certain lighting, so the only other choices for a base model was red (no way) or silver. They also had a silver for $17695 but had an aftermarket DVD player installed. The sticker MSRP with this rear entertainment system was revised to about $19800 (vs 18655 w/o it). Not sure how they got number considering MSRP for the system is about $699 - maybe they factored in the labor to install it. Nonetheless, $300 more to keep my son quiet in the back once he can face forward will be worth every penny! The buying experience was relatively painless, quick and almost enjoyable! Since I wanted to put no money down and therefore needed financing, I was at their mercy. Except for 2 minutes wasting my time with the "gap insurance" and fabric protectant sell(I know they have to try), the finance manager was great too... It's nice going to the dealership with a price you're satisfied with. Very much recommend them if you've done your homework ahead of time. Hope that helps! |

I made some calls this morning and have a bidding war going on for our sale with dealerships in the portland/salem area. I have a current offer of $15988 on a 2009 Sport MT. Unfortunately, we still don't have our other car sold for sure and probably couldn't make it in to do the deal today anyway. Hopefully we will be able to get a similar deal in November! Other offers I got today were around $16500. Had two of those as well. Today is the day for a good deal.
