#146 of 761 EGG ON MY FACE by 2ndmazda Sep 16, 2006 (2:14 pm)
PLEASE DISREGARD MY LAST POST ABOUT THE A/C NOT WORKING. I STUPIDLY FORGOT TO TURN THE A/C SWITCH ON. MY BAD. THE A/C IS WORKING FINE. I THOUGHT IF YOU TURN THE THERMOSTAT TO THE BLUE AREA ON THE LEFT SIDE THE A/C WOULD COME ON. THE A/C LIGHT SWITCH HAS TO BE ON. I REALIZED THAT TODAY. THE CAR IS RUNNING GREAT AND HANDLES EVEN BETTER. I PUT PREMIUM IN TODAY. I WAS PLANNING ON DOING IT EVERY 5TH FILL. SINCE PREMIUM IN MASS. IS NOW DOWN TO $2.77 I MIGHT AS WELL USE IT ALL THE TIME. IS 87 OCTANE BAD GAS OR SOMETHING. IT POWERS MOST CARS. WHY IS THE CX-7 DIFFERENT. THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK. WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAPS LOCK KEY. NO COMPREMDO.

Replying to: 2ndmazda (Sep 16, 2006 2:14 pm) All caps = SHOUTING on the internet and is generally disrespectful and annoying to read.   Manufacturers can program an engine's computer to get the most out of higher octane gas. With higher octane gas, you can have a higher compression ratio and do things with the spark timing that get more power. When used with lower-octane gas, these compression and timing tweaks can cause detonation (or knock) which is bad for your engine if prolonged. Many (most?) engines have knock sensors these days that can lessen the chance of damage, but the bottom line is Mazda says use premium. I can't remember the exact wording, but again - look at your owner's manual.   "Regular" gas isn't "bad," but your car isn't made for it. That is not uncommon these days.   -c92

Replying to: Sylvia (Mar 23, 2006 4:12 pm) In Oregon, I just purchased Electric Blue Grand Touring, towing, satelite, moon roof package, didn't need technology package MSRP was $31,600+ I paid $300 over dealer invoice, putting it at $29,600. I probably could have gotten better but that quote was the first price they gave me and it was lower than the other dealers I was dealing with. This was an internet transaction, never talked to them till the day I picked it up. Great transaction they even gave me exactly what I was expecting on my trade in (after the price was worked out) Also, thanks to edmunds for the process, I still came in a lot cheaper than TMV.   Thanks A F

I got the Mica Red Touring with the electronic package for $29,xxx. The dealership took $1,000 off the stciker price. It also had the sunroof and just FWD. I added back a 6 year, 100,000 mile warranty and gap insuarnce. I ended up paying around $31,500. I had never heard about the CX-7 till the day I bought it and did no shopping around. I drove home with it the same day. They gave me $6,100 for my "03" Mazda 6 which had $100,000 miles on it. It is a small Mazda/Suburu dealership in the middle of no where in central Mass. I think one might do better at dealerships in small market areas. The salesman are not as slick. There is a real huge dealership north of Boston. A week later I wanted to compare and see if I got screwed. they didn't have one CX-7 with Nav and rear camera. They all had AWD. Even with there discounts of around $1,100 on each one, I paid about the same, everything else being equal. So, I think I did OK.
#150 of 761 Darth Vader Grey CX-7 GT w/ Tech. Pack by nmk Sep 19, 2006 (5:18 pm)
Bought ours at Cooley Mazda and Volkswagen in Rensselaer, NY. Treated very fairly. Salesman was ill with strep throat but really kept at it. Walked in pretty much knowing what we wanted. Car has AWD, Tech Pack. no remote start or garage signal, no Sirus radio, but nearly all other options. Very pleased so far, paid an even $31K plus tax.   Salesman keeps checking back every few days to see if all is ok. BTW, to our surprise, when we picked up the car, it had a full tank of gas!!!

Replying to: nmk (Sep 19, 2006 5:18 pm) Actually, NOT getting a full tank of gas from a dealer would be strange... Have never bought a car that hadn't just been freshly filled up. Guess I thought that was an industry standard. Replies to this message: audia8q (Sep 21, 2006 6:53 am) kyfdx (Sep 21, 2006 7:04 am)

Replying to: nmk (Sep 19, 2006 5:18 pm) I'm assuming "Darth Vader Grey" means "Galaxy Gray?" That's what mine is... I got a real kick the first time I pulled up next to an RX-8 that was the exact same color. Sweet!

Guess I thought that was an industry standard.   when I first got in the biz you got enouogh gas to make it to the nearest gas stations...assuming you didn't turn on the A/C and the gas station was down hill..
