New CX-9 is gleaming in my driveway... worth the six months I spent researching 7-8 passenger SUVs and crossovers. I finally purchased my 2008 AWD GT CX9 ! Am happy with the interior comfort and the handling of the car. Not too crazy about the audio system and the little add-ons to make all the audio/auxillary line-in/Satellite Radio work, but got it all installed at the dealer and have everything working now. Here is the deal offered to me. MSRP:MSRP 37,070 Dealer Add-ons: Factory installed ( New Jersey port installed actually ) Sirius Satellite Radio with 6 months free subscription Towing Package Roof Rails ( cross bars not included ) Cargo mats and all weather mats Wheel Locks Invoice Price: -- Check Edmunds -- Rebates: Price Paid: 27,097 ( financing with my choice of bank ) + $ 213 to install a switchbox to make the auxillary input work Requested Add-ons: Total Price before (TT&L and Fees): Dealer charged $299 for doc fee + $ 199 mandatory protection plan... numbers are etched on all the windows State/Metro Tax: 5 % + new plates Drive-out tag: $ 29035 + $ 213 ( switchbox -- only if you have Satellite Radio ) Doc. Fee (other fees): Other Taxes: Trade-in: NA Book value: Your trade: The buying experience at the dealership was a breeze. I got an e-mail quote from the dealer which was the price I paid for the car. Quick, no hassle and no haggling. They stayed a hour more after the working hours to finish off my paperwork, and I am very satisfied with the service there so far. It's a young dealership, and it shows. Dealership info: Metro Ford Mazda . I think the model year clearance is a fantastic time to get into a new car, if you are in the market. Hope this helps anybody looking. |

closed today in SF Bay Area on ma 2008 CX-9 Touring with: - DVD Rear Ent Sys - Roof Rack (dealer installed) - Cargo Mat - Cargo Cover MSRP per edmunds $36642 Invoice per edmunds $33698 Price Paid $29535 (my own financing) This is ~20% off MSRP, or roughly invoice less $4000 in manufacturer to dealer cash back. I decided that this is a very good, not the best, but fair deal. in case others are interested, my rough survey of this forum (excluding trade in sales) is that prices paid this month are between 18-22% off MSRP. i used the mazda site to locate a CX-9 that fit my needs. i then requested a quote w/~$500 in extra add ons (rack,cover, mat) and got a ~$31K offer. i then counteroffered and settled at ~$29.5K. i had made clear to the dealer that i did not want to haggle back and forth, but that i recognized he had a right to earn some profit, so he could take or leave my counter-offer (otherwise i'd reluctantly buy a pilot).

Hello: Going to sign Lease Papers for CX-9 today and was wondering if anyone knew what a "Philadelphia Assessment Charge" was? It is a line item for $433 and I am trying to figure out if it is bogus or not. If anyone has any definitive knowledge please let me know ASAP. Thanks in advance - Great Forum! KlockBoy

The "assessment fee" is the fee that dealers in certain area/region charge their customers on top of invoice. The amount is different from region to region. The money collected was "claimed" to be used in advertisement locally (such as local TV channels). In SF-Bay Area it is about $200. No matter what, you should take it into negotiation as well. Watch out for doc fee also, some dealer charges too much for that (I would say $50 is reasonable, no more than $100). |

Got the following offer over the internet for a GT with moonroof/bose, roof rack and blind spot monitoring MSRP 37, 942 Offer: 29,915 Only problem is dealer wants me to close by end of month and it's a 12 hr round trip that i am unable to make. I asked my local dealer to see if they could get it as they had done on my previous mazda. They quoted $31000 and would not budge so i walked away. Do you think this was a reasonable offer and will better/similar deals be available at the end of the quarter/september?

Replying to: bez1 (Aug 29, 2008 7:27 am) it is almost exactly the same pricing as i got (see above). as i note in my posting, i and you could probably squeeze another 1-2% off MSRP -- i'll leave to you whether that is worth the haggling (and whether dealers get to make a little money, too.) of course, make sure that the dealer does not sneak in any non-governmental taxes and fees. as far as buying now and/or driving 12 hours and/or getting through a local dealer, i'd saying the following: the deals after the end of the month MIGHT get better, but they MIGHT go away, and the selection in inventory is ceratinly going to go down. with gas costs as is (i assume you need to drive an extra car, with another person, to pick up the new car), i probably would not drivbe 12hrs to save $1000 dollars -- unless you can pair the purchase trip with a weekend getaway enroute (camping, beach, etc.). also, a for your local dealer to get the exact same car, it is going to have to be shipped (plus paperwork) and that's why the local dealer needs to charge you $1000 -- maybe he'll go down some ($500?) if you walk in with cash on the table. is there not a close enough car locally with a good price? remember a lot of options (roof rails, cargo cover, etc.) are dealer-install and require $0 or minimal instalation costs -- the mazda website (http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=modelsSpecs&ve- hicleCode=CX9) let's you know which options are dealer-installed. so, maybe you find a loacl car with or without low cost dealer options that gets you close enough to your dream car for a good price. hope this helps. |

Replying to: bez1 (Aug 29, 2008 7:27 am) that way the deal closes before the end of the month, but you can pick up the car another time. if you are funding through a bank loan, the timing may get a little more tricky, also the above assume that your bank, the dealer, and your inisurance company are technologically savvy, and can get all of this done via email/fax. if you want the car, call the dealer and tell him you close the paperwork before the end of the month, and pick up the car later, and see if he'll work with you to get that done. |

When are the 2009 CX-9 Models going to arrive? I have been told today "in the fall" by a NY dealer. Does that mean September, October or maybe even November? I need to buy by mid October at the latest. Suggestions?
