#731 of 1119 Re: Why is everybody paying so much for it? [vg33e power] by redberry Dec 03, 2008 (1:52 pm)
Replying to: vg33e power (Dec 03, 2008 10:41 am) As explained already, the dealer can offer $1000 off as an incentive, UNLESS you opt for their 0% financing. It's similar to "cash back, or low rate financing, take your pick" deals. They don't explain it as a service fee if you take their financing - they don't add it to the invoice, or MRSP, or anything like that (like TTL). Unless your financing from another lender is really low (under 4% on $18,000, for example), you'll pay more than $1000 in interest over the life of the loan.   Now, I'm always being told of a different fee that some in this thread don't seem to have to deal with - the processing fee, or delivery fee. This is independent of how you finance the car, and the dealer's quotes I'm getting always say "with all incentives, not including taxes, tags, and processing fees."

Replying to: redberry (Dec 03, 2008 1:52 pm) The never-ending story continues:   Because we have a fraud alert on our credit report, the financing never went through with the dealer. I went back to the dealer today and they applied the $1000 to my balance. I'm going to pay cash so I just saved some more $.   Thanks for letting me know the 0% APR deal has another option.

Replying to: pug_ster (Dec 02, 2008 8:04 pm) Just got back from the dealers on our 09 Mazda5 touring and it didn't turn out so good. For the second dealer who says that they can offer the car for $16.5k 2 days ago, we went there today and they said that it was offered as their month end and now they are only offering it for $20k for the touring edition, so we walked out. For the 17k car from the first dealer, they said it was available then they tried to force me to buy an 7 year 100k mile extended warranty for $3.5k and bulk up another $2.5k in other charges. When I asked questions, the salesperson treated me like an idiot. I had to pull out my wife out from the dealer because she is emotionally attached to the car and she was kind of glad later that we got nothing. The car dealer which tried to offer the 17k mazda5 touring edition is Giuffre Mazda at Bay Ridge Brooklyn so just a warning for you out there not to go there. I might go to the other 2 mazda dealers in the end of the month to see if they want to sell. I have nothing against buying a new mazda5, but I wanted a decent low maintenance used car but I can't convince my wife to buy another car...

Replying to: oahumazda5 (Dec 03, 2008 12:45 pm) Thanks. I discovered the incentive on the owner part of the Mazda website, which I forgot about it for like 3 years. Well, the dealer did not get the money directly (because they need my title of my old mazda to authorize the owner incentive, according to Mazda website). I guess they might get a bonus because they save the manufactuer money.
#736 of 1119 Purchased 2008 used Mazda 5 by a101 Dec 11, 2008 (9:28 am)
New to this forum. I purchased a used 2008 Mazda 5 Touring with 15k miles on it for $14,800 over the weekend. I think I am happy about the deal although its not as great as I (initially, before visiting here) thought before. This is from D. Dahle Mazda dealership in Salt Lake City, UT. The sticker price on the car was over $17k. The dealer was OK. Nothing too special about their service. Salesman was appearing too busy on the day of sale. The guy who had to print all the sales documents took sometime as well. He was offering $1100 for extending the warranty to 6 years and 75k miles. If not used, the money will be refunded at the end of the warranty coverage period. What do you guys think of that deal? Should I get it?   Thanks, Replies to this message: oahumazda5 (Dec 11, 2008 4:57 pm) a101 (Dec 12, 2008 8:06 am) vg33e power (Dec 12, 2008 8:35 am) and 2 more... pug_ster (Dec 16, 2008 8:30 am)

Replying to: a101 (Dec 11, 2008 9:28 am) I've never heard of an extended warranty that would be refunded if not used. Sounds too good to be true to me. Read the fine print and google the warranty company.   I think conventional wisdom on extended warranties, if you're going to get one at all, is to buy them from someone other than the dealer.

#738 of 1119 2009 Mazda 5 Purchase Price by robert2008 Dec 11, 2008 (9:15 pm)
Just purchased a 2009 Mazda 5 Sport AT November 26 for $16888. Got the financing through the credit union for 4.74% for 60 months. This was from Herzog-Meier Mazda Beaverton, Oregon. I don't know if I overpaid, but it's a price I can live with, about $3000 below MSRP. Replies to this message: a101 (Dec 12, 2008 7:57 am) redberry (Dec 26, 2008 8:48 am)

Replying to: robert2008 (Dec 11, 2008 9:15 pm) Congrats on your purchase...   I think you got a good deal. 2009 brand new for under $17k can't be bad. Did you get the offer for the warranty? I was offered that by the dealership. It is extension of the factory warranty offered by Mazda. I did not see any papers for fine prints and those details but it made sense to me. They charge you a little extra upfront for the option of paying back. But what it does for them is that now you (the owner) won't go to them for little little thing (probably anything costing you less than $500). You won't get those small things fixed under warranty to keep the $1100 cash back at the end of the 6 years. Saves Mazda some money as the warranty essentially becomes not bumper to bumper but only for major components -- because as I said, you won't go to get small issues fixed under warranty... that's how I think they can offer the option to pay back the warranty money...

Replying to: oahumazda5 (Dec 11, 2008 4:57 pm) Thanks for your comment "oahumazda5"!   You say buy it from someone other than the dealer because of price or service? Shouldn't a warranty from Mazda be the best one to get for a Mazda car? And the dealership is there and they can do the service and handle the claims with the least hassle. With the online warranty companies its always a few extra steps to get the authorization for work etc.   Is $1100 for 3 years extension a good price?
