But in the end, we did not visit any dealers except for an initial test drive to make sure we knew what we wanted. After that, it was just a numbers game. And nobody was going to give me a deal based on my good looks.  Luckily the Internet shopping sites have put pressure on dealers to negotiate seriously by e-mail. The "squeeze" at delivery was quite impressive as the dealer pushed everything under the sun -- extended warranty, key-fob loss protection, even tried to get us to finance the vehicle with their preferred bank at a high rate. Bottom line is they know the numbers better than shoppers do and they know if a competitor's deal looks realistic, so there's no harm in bouncing one offer off the other, and you don't have to name names. |

This seems to indicate that the $1750 incentive is still there: July 2009 Incentives I'm waiting for a call from my local dealership to confirm one way or another

Hi, there, everyone...looks like everyone here has done quite some shopping around...I have to admit that this was our first dealership car-purchase (and first purchase of a new car), so I wonder how we did in our negotiations...any opinions would be most welcome. We bought a new '09 Silver Mazda 5 Grand Touring with the black leather interior, no GPS, (I drove it off the lot and LOVED it) for $ 19499.- (plus tax, the usual DMV fees, etc). It came out to an OTD of 21,780.- (sales tax in our county is an outrageous 9.75%). They wouldn't give us the 0.9 APR with this deal (otherwise it would've been more expensive), but we had a large downpayment, and secured a very good interest rate through our local bank and didn't let the dealer's finance guy hassle us into their much higher rate setup (and boy, he sure tried), so that was OK with us. Any thoughts on how we did, price-wise, with this deal?
