 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.

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! Jeff B.

Replying to: jeffb1 (Dec 03, 2008 10:18 am) 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.

Replying to: derrickson (Dec 03, 2008 11:03 am) 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! jeff

Replying to: jeffb1 (Dec 03, 2008 11:13 am) 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! |

I had purchased a new 08' Touring model w/Bose-Moonroof for $20.2k + TTL about 1.5 months ago. That's approx $7.5k off msrp. Hope that helps you out with your purchase. Good Luck!

Replying to: des5 (Dec 05, 2008 7:49 am) Not to veer too far off the subject, but just curious -- what % city/hwy driving do you do and what's your observed mpg so far? Thx for your help! Jeff

Replying to: jeffb1 (Dec 03, 2008 10:18 am) I see that you wrote no cash is included in this quote (19,427), does that mean that this offer is still eligible for either the $3750 or the 0%...I have an email quote of 20K which includes the $3750 and I feel they can still do better.....I argued that Mazda is only offering 0% on CX-7, no cash in lieu, but they keep arguing that it is not true...Please keep us updated about your 18.5K offer...Thanks
