That's what I thought, but a recent poster from OH said their dealer claimed there was a $3500 incentive....interesting

I agree that the $1,750 cash incentive is national, so your DC example makes sense based on that. My point, though, is that there appears to be a separate, and additional $1,750 dealer incentive that is specifc to the MW states, at least until 8/3.

I understand. I find it hard to belieive they would drop it by $3500 but If you find out it is true please post it and I will be taking a trip to Ohio as well.

I also live in the Midwest, (Missouri). The dealer has actually been running ads advertising the Mazda5 at $15997, but I think that is for the manual transmission.

I live right by Columbia and am familiar with the dealership there. What did they quote you for the Grand Touring, out of curiosity?

Always negotiate up from the dealer's cost which you can find in the internet. Give a dealer a reasonable profit and that should be your price offer. Good luck! I have a 2008 Touring that I'm very happy with.

$19500 for MSRP $236xx...they were willing to go lower when I told them that I picked a car at another dealership, but they didn't have my first-choice color and they were ~6 hours further than the other dealership

I straight up asked a dealer in IL about this, and he claimed there is only one $1750 incentive. Who knows though, he probably wouldn't tell me if there was

If there really is a $3500 incentive, he is basically offering you the MSRP minus the incentive. Tell him you'll give him invoice ($20342) minus the incentive.

I've gotten my first 2 quotes from IL dealers and they were $750 to $850 lower than the first CT dealer quote that I've gotten (all for the exact same car/features), so still unclear to me if that difference is partially attributable to an additional dealer incentive that only midwest dealers are getting. Neither IL dealer disclosed a manufacturer to dealer incentive when I asked about it. I'm getting more quotes from Chicago area dealerships as well as in CT/MA for comparison. The IL quotes were for a Mazda5 Sport AT, with popular equipment package, door edge guards, rear bumper plate, all weather mats and cargo net (cash, no trade-in) were: $17,758 and $17,852, both were OTD (includes everything except my CT sales tax, which I have to pay back in CT.)
