How much under MSRP do you think I could manage? by cx7byer

I am likely buying my new CX-7 within the next two weeks. I am still looking around, but out of all my considerations; Nissan Murano, RAV4, Highlander, B9 Tribeca, Kia Sorento, Lexus RX, Honda CR-V, and even the Toyota Matrix (quite creepy looking, I think), I think I like the value, comfort and ride of the CX-7 the best.
So, I think I want the GT AWD (though FWD is fine, I haven't seen any of those on the lot) with tech package, and I'm hoping for the Black Cherry or Icy Blue, with sand leather.
Now, how much money is it possible for me to take of the MSRP? Edmunds is saying a thousand, but what about you other CX-7 owners?
Sorry if this has been discussed already, I was on vacation in Maui, no internet!
Thank you for any help!

I paid MSRP. Brown's Fairfax Mazda wouldn't budge off of MSRP. And why should they? They had lot's of people beating a path to their door. Either I paid the asking price or I'd leave empty-handed. And that was the same story for several other dealers in the northern VA area.
 
For me, the CX-7 fell into the "must-have" category. In my humble opinion, there isn't another vehicle around that is as snazzy and gutsy, as the CX-7. Fortunately for me, a full-loaded CX-7 easily fell within my budget, so I really didn't have to struggle with my conscience about the decision.

I got mine for invoice, BUT
 
1. I had to drive 100 miles to Richmond, VA to do it
2. I negotiated back in February
 
I doubt I could get the same deal today.
 
Where are you?

I live in Leesburg.
 
You are, indeed, very fortunate to pay invoice. You must've seen the earliest model in an autoshow, if you negotiated in February. I don't think they were in production at that point, cuz dealerships didn't get them until May.

I put down a refundable deposit sight unseen. I think my dealer got his shipment June 2nd, and I drove down to pick mine up June 8th.
 
Essentially, I decided I liked the look, and that if it was as good in person as it was on paper, then I wanted one. I did the same thing with the Tribute in 2001, and never regretted it.
 
Back in Feb, Brown's Fairfax wasn't willing to budge, though Brown's Alexandria was willing to come down 500 off MSRP. Now that people can test drive and see how they handle, I imagine its much harder to negotiate.
 
It seemed like Whitten Bros in Richmond had more allocated to them then the dealers up here. When each dealer here had 3 in stock, Whitten had like 10 or so.
 
Anyway, I've definitely been enjoying my CX-7 the past month!

In my area, bay area CA, we definately don't have a shortage of the CX-7's. I'm been holding out for an electric blue/sand interior GT AWD model but I haven't seen one in the inventory stock. Finally broke down to calling one of the dealerships He finally found one at port and was going to sell it for 800 over invoice. When I said I would go for it, he stated he would call me back to get a $500 holding deposit. Unfortuntely, the car had already been sold. So he would keep looking but I am told that it will be $800 over invoice, and this was only calling one dealership.
 
The other thing is, has anyone purchased the roof rack? I know it's going to a dealer installed option but I don't have a clue as to how much it is going to be. Salesman wasn't sure either and he said he would look into it.
I'm sure if I wanted another color besides the electric, I would be able to get a better deal than $800 over invoice. The local dealer, has four in stock, one light blue which has not moved since I went to see a month ago. Of course when I say $800 over invoice, that excludes tax, title, registration. Best of luck! I'll report again when I get a call.

Roof rack is $250, according to my local (upstate New York) dealer. I may order it. Since the catalog lists it as "removable", I doubt if you need the dealer to install it.
