You know, I am actually right there with you. We are living in a material world, and I am a material girl....errrr boy...errr, actually man. I like my Bimmer that does everything for me based on my liking based on my key, and the same thing for my wife when she uses her key (seats, mirrors, etc, before I can get the door open). The Yukon we sold when we purchased the CX-7 was pretty much just as loaded (although not as smart). When she agreed on the CX-7 (I was trying to help her narrow down choices based on residual, etc), she was fine with the Sport. I considered this the "base" model, although, to be fair, it's not badly equipped. I tried to show her others, but she didn't care. She got just what she wanted (well, we did get a power seat a few other minor options). At first, I was trying not to notice the lack of a dead pedal, the fact I had to actually turn on the headlights and windshield wipers (as if!), but then I started breaking it down. She's got a sweet ride that's only a few ticks slower than my Bimmer, and she pays a little over $200 a month on the lease. She honestly had a higher monthly payment for her first car, a 1998 Chevy Cavalier! (new at the time). Would my rear end rather be in a leather Recaro seat? Sure. But for "Bang for the buck", anyone that doesn't give the CX-7 a chance is being foolish.

I've been following the local pricing on the 2008 CX-7s since I bought mine a few months ago. One of the local Seattle-Tacoma dealers (don't recall which one) was advertising remaining GT's at $8,000 off of MSRP in the local newspaper last weekend. Also, those looking for remaining inventory may find the Mazda USA website a resource to search for inventory by zip code.

Anyone have any idea when the Nov rebates and incentives are announced? Right now my dealer is offering me 6K off Sport w/ preferred package, bose, moonroof and Touring w/ preferred, bose and moonroof and GT with the moonroof bose package, weird it is the same offer for all. He said the deal right now from Mazda is 5K only- just wondering what November will be. Thanks

In all seriousness, the bang fo rthe buck ratio is pretty much topped out. This is a great buy. I wouldn't be suprised if most 08 incentives are actually gone (with the exception of special financing through MAC) and the dealer has already "bought-in".
You never know, but I'm sure we've all seen that guy at the craps table, winning big, saying "just one more roll".... eventually that "just one more" goes too far and he's starting all over.

So it appears I am about topped out. I would have believed, based on the numbers, I would have had different offers for all three vehicles. He pretty much came right out and offered 6K right on the spot.

Well I bit on the 08 Black Sport AWD w/ the bose/moonroof, preferred package, and a whole slew of other options that drove the sticker price up, like the hitch, LOL. I actually was leaning towards the Touring (all the same options) but my wife really liked the cloth seats better than the leather, which I thought was something to be said for the cloth. She currently drives an 07 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro and is very pleased with the power of all things on the CX-7, drives very much like the Audi and seems a few ticks faster at least off the line than the Audi. I guess we will have to race them once day! After driving the dog Mazda 6 w/ the 4 cylinder the CX-7 is a rocketship! Anyway, I ended up getting 6.5K off a reduced sticker price (car had 900 miles on it) total out the door with tax (6%), title, and license was 22,405. Looking at what the invoice is, I am not sure how they made any money?

But we looked today at an '08 Grand Touring FWD, navigation, Bose, moonroof, heated seats, rear camera, most of the gadgets except for the rearview mirror. The car has 6,600 miles on it. With our '02 110,000 mile Town & Country as trade, they're wanting $ 18,000 otd. Opinions ???? Thanks all ............

That's sounds really good. OK, the CX-7 is essentially a one year old used car, but even figuring in 30% depreciation (9900, assuming 33K original sticker) and 5K for the trade (generously), you're getting a bit more like 15.5K off sticker, or 47%. As a reference, my deal had a net of 42% off sticker, factoring in a '01 Montana with 60Kmi.

Thanks for the input, as I'm really not sure about it. My wife's ready to go after it, but she does fit into it a lot better than me !
Off the subject a bit, but does anyone know if it's possible to run the window sticker with the VIN, just to see what all it is supposed to have ? I asked the dealer, but they weren't sure if they could do it.
Thanks again, and MAN am I glad I stumbled into this site ! ! !
