Replying to: ceric (Sep 08, 2008 5:26 pm) May I ask what do you think will happen to your loosely installed $250 Garmin in the event of a serious crash? Will it become a projectile that hurt passengers in your vehicle? I guess that is the risk you take with any loose object in a vehicle. If I was concerned about this I would just do without a navigation unit rather than pay $2500 MSRP for one that gives bad directions. |

Replying to: s1216 (Sep 08, 2008 12:29 pm) If you want an actual information from the people who actually got a deal; just take time to read the last 5-6 pages of this thread and you will see that most if not all answers will be there already. The method that s1216 suggested has been discussed many times before, including this particular forum. It has been in all threads of CarSpace forums. This method didn't work for me personally as none of the dealers in the area could match the deal I was offered by Metro Mazda. Later on, as I learned, dealers got much more agreeable after they learned about the legitimacy of the deal I got. The statement about the "the larger the dealer, the better your chances..." is utterly wrong. You will have much better chances with mid-size dealerships that struggle to meet its sales goal. While the large dealers have enough sale volume to decline any out-of the ordinary offer, the small dealers simply cannot afford an extra manufacturer's incentives for high-volume selling and as such, cannot offer you any extras to top off the manufacturer's rebate. The statement about a dealer "not" having something in their inventory is total nonsense. All new dealers' inventory is 100% trackable through mazdausa.com; if you can't find a given car through the web site, the chances are either the car is already under some sort of an agreement or sold, or not new. From my recollection, even the Demos must be listed under dealers' new inventory, but this needs to be verified. And, finally, the blurb about "a teaser units, or other special circumstance" is a bunch of bolonies. After I got my car with $10,400 discount and reported it on this and couple other forums there were several other people who were able to get the same (or better) deal after my post. The better deal could've been gotten when they got the car with more options. I guess the consensus is this: the more options your car have, the more wiggle room dealer has for offering you. The truth is: with enough persistense and with losing a "new-car fever" you should be able to secure a deal you want, including a 10,000 off.

Replying to: sleepybubba (Sep 09, 2008 6:45 am) I'm sorry if I stated something that seemed obvious, I just thought I might help someone. I'll admit that I haven't read all 1200 posts in this forum, I have just been following it for a two months. I did track down your post where you got 10,383 of MSRP on a 38+ vehicle. Truly an outstanding deal. This is the type of information I am looking for, thanks for calling my attention to it. However I did feel that instead of being followed by people who "several other people who were able to get the same (or better) deal" I found most people said they could not touch it. I guess we're just not clever, persistent, or lucky enough. I totally agree that a dealer will take you more seriously if you can present another offer. Unless you have the time to visit each dealer and get those deals on the back of a business card, an email or a special posted on a website is the only way I can think if to do this. My experience has been that if simply tell someone about a strong deal they either don't believe it or will act like they don't. I have purchased my last four cars from an out of state dealer and the local dealer has never been able to match the price, I wish I had your good fortunes on that. So the email method has been great for me. I didn't claim to invent it, I was just making sure everyone was aware of the good tools on the Mazda website as they have helped me greatly. And yes teaser units are part of the car business. As when I contacted a dealer who advertised "$10,000" of any CX-9 in stock" and offered mt $8000 off the one I wanted and a dealer who advertised "$9,000" of all CX-9s" and offered me $6000 off the one I wanted. Maybe someone in the right place at the right time took advantage of whatever these were, but it wasn't me. As far as large dealers vs mid-size, large dealers have sales goals too, so I'm not sure I agree with your logic. I would rather go with the guy who is paying less for the car in the first place. And for cars disappearing from inventory, I've been told it takes a couple of days for a sale to clear from Mazda's computer. I suppose a dealer may have some motivation for telling an interested customer a car is no longer available when it really is, but I can't explain why that would happen over and over again across multiple dealers in five states. . |

2008 CX-9 Sport FWD. MSRP: $30,050 Was offered $22,988 at Bay Area, CA. Is it a good price for the lower trim level car? |

Replying to: su_hyd (Sep 06, 2008 9:55 am) I went yesterday to Browns Chatilly Mazda and offered $32,500 for CX-9 GT AWD fully loaded with MSRP 41,160. They denied it. I'm still in negotiation with the manager over there and will post some more info as I get it. They cannot go below 33,452. I still feel 32,500 a decent offer so I'm not backing right now. If anybody has bought in VA/MD/DC area pleas post, that would help a lot. Thanks, Met
