i dunno OF... i just posted in the cx-9 board that my dealer that offered me $7K off about a month ago has actually DECREASED his discount to $5K!! May be a regional thing, but that's what i'm seeing here. i've not seen any offers on the cx-7 (sport) for more than the $7K off.

...yes, that is the question...
 
Regarding 08's, you can definitely see two different schools of thought around here. I will pull a couple quotes from the CX-9 board to illustrate...
 
On the one hand, you hear messages like:
What helps is Mazda cut back production..., and dealers have trimmed inventory. There is not the extreme need to move these 08's anymore.
 
On the other hand, ( and what I would have thought)...
Resubmit your offer, leave your contact information and wait.
Unless you must have a car today, time is on your side.
The car market is really slow right now and will be for months to come!

 
So who knows? If it truly stays slow for a long enough period of time, you may be able to get a stellar deal on a 09?

And just to add a bit about the buying experience.
 
Nelson Mazda in Nashville; could not be happier with the experience. Negotiations completed primarily via email, a fair price. Car in beautiful shape when I arrived. Smooth paperwork, no suprises. Introduction to the service guys, and a follow-up email the same day...
 
Nice.

Just bought a 2008 Grand Touring w/Moon roof Bose Package for 22273.00 otd in New York. I went to the dealer looking for a catch, but there wasn't any! Keep looking for deals, I FEEL LIKE I STOLE THIS CAR! Keep looking for deals, they're out there.

good deal on leftover '08? by jeffb1

ok, fellas, here's the deal I have sitting before me -- new 2008 Sport FWD, only option is power driver seat. MSRP is $24,735. Internet sales mgr has quoted me $19,427 ($5308 off sticker). (no trade in -- cash deal). I'm in the St. Louis MO area. Can anyone let me know if that's a steal or if you're in the same area and have gotten a better price recently on a 2008 (or 2009), similarly equipped.
 
Thx in advance!

Hi Jeff,
Well, here's my 2 cents...
I'll start by saying I'm not in the St Louis area, but here was my experience almost exactly 2 months ago... Bought a base FWD Sport (exactly like yours less the pwr seat) for $17,435 ($7000 off MSRP of 24,435). This was an advertised promo, so no haggling was required. That seemed to be a pretty smokin price, as I did not see other dealers willing to match, and have not seen that low an offer advertised since.
 
I have read here that incentives are constantly changing. In addition, as 08 inventory decreases, the incentives may actually decrease towards year-end. Kind of opposite of what I've typically heard, "Best time to buy is year end", etc.
 
So that said, there's certainly no harm in shopping your current offer, and seeing if anyone else will beat it. Also, I see this CX-7 board has not been too active lately for whatever reason. I know the CX-9 board has been much more active, including posts by a couple Mazda sales folks. So you may want to pose this same question on the CX-9 board and see if you get a response... Just a thought.
 
BTW, when purchasing accessories, I would visit MedCenter Mazda website. They offer the best prices & free shipping.

Derrickson,
 
Thx for the reply! I'm also surprised there's so little discussion in not just this cx-7 thread but all the cx-7 threads! Anyway, congrats on getting such a great price -- kinda motivates me to counter-offer more aggressively. Unfortunately, there are only 4 '08 cx-7's in a 100 mile radius of St. Louis that are left, so I think the decrease in inventory may be playing a role, as you suspected. However, I'm not in a position where I have to buy, so I think I will post in the cx-9 forum as you suggested and see what happens. thanks again!

You're welcome. I received several tips here when I was buying, so happ to Pay-it-fwd... Good position to be in that you don't have to buy. That should help. The dwindling inventory was mentioned awhile back by a Mazda salesperson who said dealers were not flooded with these as they curtailed production several months ago. We bought ours as a result of Hurricane Ike which flooded one of our vehicles. But we also paid cash like you, which I think helps to keep things "cleaner".
 
I know when I bought in October, my dealer alone had at least 6 or more. I did also notice the one I bought had been sitting on the lot since April. Interesting too, was the sunny Saturday afternoon I stopped by to look at the vehicle, I was the ONLY customer on the ENTIRE LOT!!!! It was eerie. This is a HUGE Ford/Mazda dealer and it was a ghost town... except for me. Saw the downturn in auto sales right before my eyes. Good luck with the purchase!
