Just bought a Liquid Platinum GT/AWD. MSRP was $30,890 and the dealer said he had already sold two CX-7's at invoice. When I told him I had received a quote of $1500 below MSRP from another dealer (true), he took $1550 off my beautiful new car. BTW, got 18.2 MPG on first tank (driving gently until break-in is over, then we'll see) http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com/media/townhall/webxicons/- emotorcons/emo_wink.gif

Desert Protection Package? by jonnycoolguy

I recently purchased my CX-7 sport from People's Mazda in Las Vegas.
They stated that they weren't going to charge me a "fair market value" mark-up that many other dealers were charging. They did however add a $1,995 upcharge for a paint and dash protectant. They said they could negotiate it down a little , but this had already been added to the vehicle. How many of you have heard of this desert protection package? I think it's bs myself. I just really wanted the vehicle and they were hard to find in early June when I purchased. It's too bad that the dealers play such games! Out the door my base model (Total MSRP was 24,955)cost me 29,403.83! Taxable seling price was 27288.94 plus sales tax of 2114.89.

My best advice to you would be to contact the Attorney General for your state!
 
What you have was outlawed a few years ago, and I'm guessing you might be able to get your money back on this! Someone else on this board called it "Mop n' Glo".
 
I seem to remember one of the news magazines doing an expose' on this subject back in the 80's early 90's.
 
Basically, it's consumer fraud...

Absolutboy20, which dealership in bay area give you the 800 over invoice. I will be taking a test drive this weekend. And hope to start the shopping soon. What is your experience with other Mazdo dealership in bay area (My last Mazda is a 323 which we bought used may be 10 years ago. So need to catch up with the dealship around the bay area).

Suggestion: instead of fishing piece meal for pricing and availability, why not click on the Edmund's link at the top of these pages for price quotes? Simply fill in the info, i.e. your zip code. The web page will provide all of the Mazda dealers in your area. Check the dealers you want to query and see what happens?

That's exactly what we did when we were looking into the CX-7. Using all the data he gathered from Edmunds, my husband actually made a spread sheet and emailed it to the dealer we were working with. It worked out very well - once the salesguy saw all the data right in front of him, he couldn't do much but better those numbers. The numbers spoke for themselves (to our advantage!)

Topgun7,
 
I started my search with Al Sanchez Mazda in Gilroy, which is where I got the $800 over invoice. Yesterday, I went to Seaside's Cypress Coast which is also a Subaru dealer. Fortunately/unfortunately all of the salesmen were busy with other customers so I was able to sit in some and get a better feel for the vehicle without a salesman breathing down my neck. They had about nine in stock, most were GT models and all without the tech package. At the end, I wanted to talk to the salesman to see what he would be willing to go for.
 
Since I'm pretty sure that I want to go with the Mazda, I have been avoiding going to the dealership at all cost and have been using the internet sales departments to the full extent. I just sent out several more bids to other dealerships, I'll keep you posted.
 
It was interesting to be at a Subaru/Mazda dealership since they have the B9 Tribeca there as well. From the side profile, the cars do have a similar look, but there is a significant height/size difference between the two vehicles. I've been going back and forth between vehicles, Rav4, CX-7, and the Pilot. Just yesterday I was reading that Pilot's are going for $6,000-$7,000 under invoice. That puts a Pilot with navi under $30k.. I LOVE the technology on the CX-7 and it's looks, but I wish it were a tad larger. The Pilot on the other hand has the space but not the look. I wish BOTH offered IPOD connections. The Pilot does but you can't get it with models that come with leather..
 
I'll keep you posted on my efforts, would be great to bounce off dealership numbers with you TopGun.

I agree AC seems underpowered. Test drove Outback and CX-7 back-to-back and Outback AC was much better. Too bad CX-7 is slicker looking. Decisions decisions.

This is not good news. Supplies will remain tight and the dealers won't be dealing.
