i've seen ads for fuel chips for cx-9s (and car generally) that claim to improve fuel economy AND driving performance (more HP). see link below (it's long) what do people know about these? what is the down side of getting a chip that improves fuel econ and gives more HP? all thoughts welcome. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-Truck-Parts-Accessories__PERFORMANCE-CHIP-MA- ZDA-CX9-2007-2008_W0QQitemZ250313734647QQadiZ2865QQadnZCarQ20Q26Q20TruckQ20Parts- Q20Q26Q20AccessoriesQQcmdZViewItem?hash=item250313734647&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_- trkparms=72%3A331%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Replying to: paulo6 (Oct 26, 2008 7:49 am) What you might consider (and what i wish i would have done) is determine the discounts you're getting, and add on the s-plan. I believe you're entitled to other promos / discounts IN ADDITION TO the s-plan price. think i read that on the ford partner site. of course, they can always refuse to give you s-plan plus other discounts, but you never know unless you ask!  which i did not  regarding being ...put in the position of selling at a loss because i'm forced to... i don't know that dealers are being 'forced' to do anything. i know with my experience, the dealers i contacted and negotiated with were several thousand dollars apart. at 1st, i was amazed. didn't matter that dealer X was offering the same vehicle for $X thousand less, etc. other dealers simply said they could not get there. perhaps b/c they would be selling at a loss?  Through this thread, I then learned about the various sales tiers, month end / year end bonuses for meeting sales quotas, and how that can translate to the different dealer offers... |

Replying to: nswartzb (Oct 26, 2008 6:56 am) you be able to get up to another $2500-3000 IF: (1) dealer will take more off "invoice" (maybe up to $1000) (2) dealer gets and gives you the bonus money he gets for meeting sales goals (up to $2000) Can you please post your source of how you know what the dealer makes from the manufacturer? You are way off, BTW. This must be fact, not opinion. Also, since every manufacturer is different, please do not use another manufacturer as a guideline.

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 26, 2008 12:41 pm) While it's no secret that the dealer makes incentive money from the manufacturer (Mazda), it does not even come close to $3,000 per copy. Heck, holdback is paid in hundreds. Since this thread is meant to helpful to those buying a CX-9, thinking that dealers are making money hand over fist even selling these thing below invoice is just simply wrong. There is not as much money in these as some people think. As a customer, you should always try and get the lowest price you can. There is nothing wrong with that.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Oct 27, 2008 9:21 am) Would you know what the approx labor $ would be to have Mazda service install the OEM fog lamps for an 08 cx-7? I've been quoted two wildly different labor costs from two local dealers. Dealer A quoted $200 and Dealer B quoted $365. Both dealer service centers admitted to never having done this installation before, so should I be wary? Thanks! ***whoops...just realized I posted in the cx-9 forum by mistake. Sorry!!**
