If you look at CarsDirect for the Sport Manual, it shows MSRP at $18,775, invoice at $17,715, and their Target Price at $16,565 which includes under Incentives "Special Pricing - Expires 8/31/09". This was the same price I saw at the very beginning of this month. Whereas around 8/7 their Target Price was $18,315. So to me this looks like the $1750 is in place, at least in the Boston area.

Thanks!
Looking to buy a 09 mazda 5 automatic by the end of the month, dealer inventory is basically non existent, but some dealers have some mazda5s on the way. The dealer in wellesley is the closest one along with the one in quincy as well.

I bought my 2009 Touring this past weekend near Boston and did get the $1750 dealer support in my deal. Along with the c4c it was $14,442. Tax and reg extra. Lucky I even got one. I would stay away from Quincy....

Which dealership did you go to?
Looks like I will have to buy one and then wait a week or so for the car to show up at the dealer.

I had to go all the way from Northern VT down to Metro Mazda in Raynham to get the car I wanted.

Any particular reason why I should avoid the quincy dealer?

After offering to give a deposit on a particular car and calling a number of times, I got the run around from them until the newspaper special "expired" and the price they quoted jumped $1100. They told me the incentives had "changed" (not true). That isn't how I like to do business. I actually paid a little more at Metro because I wasn't going to support that kind of Dealer BS.

The $1750 dealer cash is in fact in play for the '09 Mazda5. The only thing holding me back at this point is the fact that '10 models are right around the corner and it has been verified that although there will be a slight price increase ~$500, the 2010 Mazda5 will come standard with stability control. You can see for yourself at the safecar.gov website link here:

If you scroll to the bottom you can see it clearly states stability control will be standard.
Happy motoring!

Need your guys' opinion.
I am helping my aunt/uncle with buying a mazda5.
However my aunt seems to think that come Sept, the incentives on the 09s will be better than it is now.
I am concerned about dealer inventory and whether or not the current 1750 in dealer cash will disappear or not next month.
Thoughts?

It certainly makes sense that 09 inventory will continue to shrink over time, so the longer she waits, the fewer 09 choices will be available. However, the dealers I've talked to think that the $1,750 rebate is likely to continue on 09s and may even increase. That makes sense given the widespread concern in the industry that the CFC-fueled sales spike in July/August included a lot of sales that would otherwise have occured during 4Q09 and winter 2010. If that's the case, sales may be terrible for the next 6 months, which could put a lot of pressure on manufacturers to extend or increase incentives.
