Lots of discussion on this forum about $3500 incentives, rebates etc for Mazda vehicles. Tried frantically to find where these are mentioned anywhere on the web - Mazda, Edmunds, etc and cant find anything. Are these double secret programs, expired, what? Also, i received a letter from my local dealer mentioning a $1000 loyalty program that is good only for this weekend but seems to be tied to leasing only - any comments on that? (I have found reference to $500 in this forum in recent posts) I am in Atlanta, GA - any experience recently with dealers in purchasing a CX7 would be gratefully received?

Replying to: atlsg (Sep 18, 2008 11:46 am) Atlanta is only a short drive to Charlotte (I lived in Atlanta for years before moving here). Montgomery Mazda on independence Blvd in Charlotte.Had to be one of the most trouble free sales I have been through. I let them know my wife really disliked car shopping, but she had driven the CX-7 and knew what options she wanted. they showed me their stock, I chose the closest one to her wishes (only 1 option different), and their initial price was almost $1500 less than I was guessing they would start at. We talked for a few, made the deal, and I made arrangements to pick it up Saturday with my wife. We arrived, the car was sitting out front washed, prepped, and full of premium gas (contrary to internet rumors, we still have gas here in Charlottte). The salesman had her take a look to make sure it was what she wanted- it was- and they had the paperwork completed (was pre-printed and ready) and she was out the door in less than 15 minutes. The inspection sticker had 6 months left on it (NC has the dealers inspect them as they arrive), but they told us to bring it back in a few weeks and they would give us a free insepction and wash it up again. Hand written thank you card from salesman came today. Service dept called and introduced themselves the other night. I would expect classy treatment for a car they wer emaking money on, but this had to be a house deal (or close to it). I think my favorite part has to be the tenacity of the first dealer that blew us out the door at sticker (on a 2008 with 2009's on the lot for the same price). I had mentioned the $3500, he said he was not allowed to give it to me. After playing "can't find your key's" for almost 4 hours, he said he may be able to knock $1200 off as we were walking out the door (any wonder why my wife dislikes car shopping?). He's called and emailed multiple times a day since asking "what did I do wrong?". Today's message was the best- "We got notice from Mazda that we may be able to use part of the $3500". I'll email him later and thank him for his time and let him know we bought elsewhere. I don't expect dealers to lose money to get a sale- I want them to be there when my car needs service. And while the lowest price doesn't always equal the "best deal", "not lying" ranks pretty darn high in my book. |

Picked up the car last night. FWD Sport, red with power seat. MSRP 24,735 Buy at 18,500 Tax 1,433 Doc&Title 150 OTD 20,083 Original deal had a trade of my 2001 Montana at 3,600, but at the last minute I lucked onto a private sale for 4,000. So my wife gets a great new ride for a net of 16,083. I was surprised to see the manufacture date on this unit was 11/07, but all of the red 2008's around here were built 6-9+ months ago. |

there is a dealer in chicago offering 7,000 off msrp; I have been talking to him and we pretty much have all of the deal hammered out; however, I am hesitant because the other dealers I have called have said there is no way they are offering 7k off. In texas they are offering 6k off of the msrp. What would I need to get in writing in order for me to go down there with confidence? I live in Ohio and dont want to get down there and be left holding the bag. |

Replying to: des5 (Sep 23, 2008 6:13 pm) Ours was about 7800 under sticker so thats not out of the question. just depends how much they have in the floorplan interest, if it's gone over 120 days, etc.... Plus, many a dealer will sell you new at a loss to steal your trade. There's only one way to find out. And it they are straight, you have a fun 250hp ride home
