Sounds like a good offer to me. I bought a 2008 Touring for $20600 including the homelink mirror and the rear bumper guard. If you load a lot of stuff in the back, the bumper guard protects the top of the rear bumper. Good luck on your purchase. I love mine.

2008 - 2009 Mazda 5 MT by boxrs4sale

I spoke with Cypress Coast Mazda in Seaside, CA.. Negotiating strictly over email, I was able to get them to $15,500 + TTL for a 2008/2009 Mazda 5 MT Sport.
  
Didn't buy one yet - can't decide between that or the civic yet.. Just thought I'd give my input. Don't want anyone overpaying.

Since your a noob here we'll cut you a break and give you one freebie. Never mention the word Civic, Accord, Honda, et.al. around here, we all love our MZ5 way to much LOL!
 
Go with the MZ5, more room and lots more standard features then Civic for the same price.

The 2008-2009 mazda5 does not exist. It is either a 2008 or a 2009. I've owned a Civic before, boring and small cars. Mazda has a much better driver-car engagement.
 
Now, if they are selling it for that price, for sure is a 2008.

I wrote 2008-2009 simply because I didn't care what year it was - as long as it was brand new.
 
I don't think it's really that hard to get the Mazda 5 in the $15k range anymore - no matter the year. With the economy in such a slump - everyone's slashing prices to get rid of inventory.
 
The deals out there are only getting better.

...so are you going for the Civic or the MZ5? I've had Civic's as well in the past, three to be exact, a 96 Civic 4-door LX, 99 Civic Hatch CX, and 02 Civic Si Hatch. All were very nice cars, but indeed pretty small, plus not much room to fit big items like a possible TV, bikes, etc, much less six people. You can fit five, pretty tight I may add specially with one or two car seats. Plus everyone and their mom has one. Just my $0.02

I'm leaning towards the 5. I currently have a 2000 civic.. My wife has a 2006 Corolla. We're looking to get rid of the Corolla. It's a good car, but we're not fans.
 
I think the older Civics are fun to drive - but the newer ones are getting "fu-fu."
 
We're basically wanting the wife to have more room with the kid - plus something that we're able to haul stuff around with - basically a glorified grocery getter.
 
The only thing that I'm don't like about the 5 is the mpg. It seems low - for such a low output motor.

You know, that was one of my concerns when I gave up my 03 Accord 2.4L in place of my MZ5, but to my surprise my little wagon gives me 1-3 more mpg's (depending how I drive it) over the claimed mpg. I average 22-24 in city driving and gotten 28-29 on longtrips at 75-80mph. Mine is a 2006 Touring Automatic, I hear Manuals are even thriftier in gas. So far I am glad with my decison, and I second your comment on the Corolla. IMHO, Toyotas are great vehicles but score low in the styling department, they are just plain and blah.

Yeah, economy is bad, but out of all the Mazdas the Mazda5 is the fastest moving vehicle in the lots (it is not a Dodge Durango), so I still believe you are dealing a 2008 not an 09, and it does not matter if both are new, it is just how things work. Anyway, good luck, post here if you get the 15K deal
 
Oh, and my Civic was a 99, it was nice but not fun to drive, the Mazda5, even as a grocery getter model, it is quite fun to drive, test drive one (and if its manual even better)

$16769 sport by abarry90

We just got a black 09 sport for $16769 this weekend. Loving it so far. A few minor design features I miss from our forester like the over head sunglass storage and in dash storage, day time running lights so you don't have to turn on/off lights, a dome light within reach of the driver (why is it way in the back? how about a switch to access it from the front?)
 
And why did they go to the trouble and expense to put second row vents but not connect them to the heat? Why just AC? Weird.
 
Love the controls on the steering wheel - especially the stereo mute! Love the space inside. I swear it is bigger inside than outside!
 
But the worst is the headlight angle. GOT to get in to the service dept and get them fixed. We live on rural highways and can't see more than a couple hundred feet ahead if that without the brights on and there is too much on coming traffic to keep them on. I am really afraid I am going to hit a deer!
 
But overall we LOVE it!
