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.
 
Hi Des5,
Thanks for your reply. So if I am understanding this correctly I can deduct approx ~$5500 from invoice price (if I am not financing thru them) to use as a guideline when negotiating? That would sound like a pretty awesome deal on the 08's. Thanks!

I have found a dealer closer to me then chicago who has the vehicle I want on his lot( with slightly less options) and he is willing to go 6900 off of the msrp, and at this point I am going to pull the trigger. I have been without a vehicle for over 9 months now.

going by your math, I could have gotten the car for 18992, I got it for 19235 or something, not bad.

not a good deal by scottk218

I'm trying to do this by email but the dealer is uncooperative. I am about 50 miles from any other dealer but will have to begin emailing them as well I think.I am turning in a leased 2007 AWD CX7, which I love, but buyout is 19.9 and it looks to me like I should be able to come close to that in a new one right now? By email I got this:
 
I had my manager run a 2008 CX-7 Sport AWD with the 8 way power driver seat and monnroof/6cd package MSRP $28,195 and we can sell for $25,000 plus your tax and fees on a purchase for 60 months is $517.89 , 72 months is $451.58 with $0 out of pocket.
 
On a lease with $0 out of pocket with 15,000 miles a year for 36 months your payment is $557.40.

 
I had already told her I wanted specifics, no mention of interest rate or which fees in particular she's talking about. Of course I'm trying to price here from invoice up rather than deal in payments. It looks to me from the postings here that I should be more in the 18-19k range, although the invoices listed at Edmunds are 2009 not 2008 so I'm not entirely sure where to begin.
 
Thoughts, suggestions? thanks.

Hold firm scott, dont take no for an answer.
 
Go down to the dealership, pick out the car you want, tell them such and such a dealer is offering you 7k off of the sticker but its far away and the dealer you are at is closer, will you beat it, they will try and haggle you and say I can maybe do 6k, then they will say 6500, then they will ask you what will it take to get you to buy this car, then you say 7k off the sticker, and they will give it to you.
 
When I went to the dealer to buy mine, I was there for 6 hours, and not 1 customer came into the building, NOT 1!, THESE CARS ARE NOT MOVING AND NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY,

They're not even taking the full manufacturer to dealer incentive of $3750 off. What a bunch of loonies they are...
 
I agree that you're going to be way ahead of the game with purchasing a new one vs. the buyout option. Also I think $25k will get you an 08 CX-9.
 
Still searching for my magic number...Good Luck to you!

Scott, here are the numbers you need:
Running the MSRP numbers, I'm off by 175, there must be a couple more small options on this car, so figure another 150 invoice.
AWD Sport 23811
Seat 305
Bose/Roof 1379
Misc Opts. 150
Destination 635
Advertising Coop ~200 (varies by area)
Total Invoice 26480
Less 5500 = 20980
 
I would tell them you will pay any dealer anywhere 21130 + tax and tags, and the first one to step up gets the business. Some stores will test to see how ignorant you are about the hidden incentives. Generally once you tell them what you know, they come around.

That's correct, if you give up the 0% financing. The dealer will likely offer you other terms, but you must shop those yourself, as what you get will depend on credit score, credit crisis, etc.
In my opinion Mazda always overprices the cars to start with but gives it all up+ at the end of the model year. Even back in 2005 I bought my 6i for 5500 off sticker. Where else can you get a turbo CUV for 18K base?
