hi oldfashioned,
i was waiting until it was "official" (aka took delivery), but as we've emailed a few times, and are heading over tomorrow for pickup, confidence is high this will be completed. now, if during the test drive, black smoke is bellowing from the exhaust, i'll be singin a different tune, but until then, the dealer is:
 
Russell & Smith Mazda / Houston, TX. The Sales Mgr is David Rawls and my salesperson was Fred Session. That said, we did not do any negotiating whatsoever. Spent more time waiting in line for gas during hurricane Ike than I did purchasing this vehicle....

Thanks,
Yes, I too have heard various stories (charging xtra for lojak, warranties, etc). That was why I kinda wanted to wait until after delivery to let you know who it was.
 
I look at it like this: The sales guy already wrote up the sale sheet, and the numbers match exactly what their 1/4 page newspaper ad posted. Will bring a certified check for that exact amt, not a penny more. I saw the car in-person, on the lot, and they are prepping it as we speak.
 
I suppose it's possible for finance to muck it up... somehow... but if they do, I'll simply get up & leave. And should that happen, I will let every auto-related site, blog, etc know all about my experience. Such will also be the case if all goes well... a no-hassle $24K c-suv for $17K.
 
Will let you know how it plays out tomorrow!

So if I am understanding everyone correctly, it's either special financing or less money off?
 
For October 1-31, Mazda is offering 0% on the CX7. This mean that they won't come down in price as much? I read through their terms, I didn't see anything as such....

While not in the public offers, Mazda will provide "dealer participation money" in lieu of the special financing. Since last month it was 3500 on 1.9%, presumably its about 4000 this month. Generally if you get your own financing (especially through a credit union), you will only spend about half this money in interest, thereby coming out ahead.

Hi, would this be the manufacturer to dealer incentive (which is about $3750 this month)? or is this an additional rebate? thanks!

Yes, it is. Here's the simple calculation for October: take the invoice price of the trim level you want, add in the invoice price of the options, add destination, subtract $5500.This will get you within about $200 of what any dealer can do (not necessarily what they will do). Depending on state law, some of the discount may escape tax. Others fees like doc prep are for you and the store to hash out.
