Re: Mazda dealer advertisement fee? [ewsnc] by aviboy97

went to two Mazda dealers in Connecticut. The "Invoices" they showed all included a fee of $440 as "County Assessment Fee" or something like it (I don't remember the exact name). When I questioned, they admitted it's advertisement fee. One said it's charged by Mazda and the money goes back to the manufacturer (which I don't believe), the other one said every Mazda dealer in the state charges it
 
The "regional assessment" is Mazda's advertising fee that Mazda charges to the car. The first dealer was correct. It is charged to the dealer, and is not profit for the dealer. Edmunds.com's pricing structure clearly states this in their pricing section under "advertising fees"
 
What dealers in CT did you go to?

2008 GT Purchase by persuader1

I just purchased a 2008 CX9 GT, with RES, backup camera, wheel locks, retractable cargo cover, roof rails for 31k OTD. It was 28.3k before fees and TTL. It was 29k before TTL. Sticker was 38k. I really pushed them to the limit as I walked out two times before finally agreeing to the price. As you can see, there was 900 in fees. It was a consolidated fee that I tried to chip out, but could not do it. It was pre-printed and I was told it represented dealer fees/prep fees, etc. Though they should make SOME money off the deal, I wanted to cut that 900 in half. All and all, I was satisfied though.
 
My advice, aim for 10k off of MSRP and hold their feet to the fire. Ask for mats, cargo cover, cargo net, and everything else you can before signing your name on the dotted line. Ask for free fill-ups, details, and oil changes too.
 
Good huntings.

We are totally sold on Mazda! I bought my first Mazda, an MPV, '02 model. It gave us 148,000 trouble free miles before I traded it for my CX-9. I have had it for 11 months and have yet to see another Copper Mica Red CX-9.
Btw, I bought mine at Auffenberg Mazda in O'Fallon, Illinois. That, for a change, was a very pleasant experience. And their service department is top notch.
Anyways. Now my wife drives an '05 Mazda 3, and we're very happy with our vehicle choices!

Hi,
 
I am about 15 miles north of Philadelphia and I am in the market looking for AWD cx-9 touring. The quote I got was for 36k (out of the door). The dealer basically gave a break of 6k. The catch is I can use the special financing (0% apr for 36 months or 2.9% 60 months) or give 2k back and use the special apr.
 
So does it seem reasonable that they are giving 4k break from MSRP plus special financing? Also, do u think you could let me know where you bought ur cx-9 from.

Love the Mica Red. Navi system a little tricky - still have not figured that out. Garmin much easier. And they gave us 2009 manuals rather than 2008 so we're struggling till we get our real manuals for our car.
 
Also awaiting Satellite radio installation. Salesman told us the car was equipped with it and it was not - so we're pushing to the issue to get it put in.
 
We bought ours right outside of Cincinnati. Loved the huge discount

Are you referring to an 08 or 09. The person you were asking bought an 08. If it's for an 08, it is not a good deal at all.
 
If it's an 09, it may be ok. I would need more info to make the determination. Essentially, I need the involce. Actually, you can do it yourself. This is what you do. Use the edmunds TMV pricing /w options calculator and get the invoice for the vehicle. Now, the 09s have an unadvertised 3k dealer cash (incentive) if you do not get the special financing and 1k rebate + no payments for 90 days if you get the special financing. FYI, the holdback is about $660.
 
So what you do is take the invoice - incentive (3k or 1k) - holdback and that should be your best case scenario. Use that number as your starting point. I usually go below that, personally. The goal is to eat into the holdback as much as possible. In this financial enviornment, it can work.
 
Depending on how much you put down and your non-special financing, you'll need to decide what is more cost effective: special or regular apr.

Thanks for your quick response. Here is how I have summarized your info. Does it look right to you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
from edmunds.com (2009 CX-9 AWD with options)
 
MSRP TMV
$39,852 $36,481
 
bestCase_1 = TMV - 3000 - 660 = 32821 (regular apr)
bestCase_2 = TMV - 1000 - 660 = 34821 (special apr)
 
with tax and the rest (assuming it is 2200) the OTD can possibly be around
 
bestCase_1 (OTD) = 35041 (regular apr)
bestCase_2 (OTD) = 37041 (special apr)
 
my dealer was giving
 
bestCase_1 (OTD) = 36173 (regular apr)
bestCase_2 (OTD) = 38173 (special apr)
 
difference of $1074.
--------------------------------------------------------------
 
I guess I have to keep looking around. Just in case if somebody is interested in my options
 
RSES w/Bose Audio/Sirius Package
Touring Assistance Package
Remote Engine Start
Auto-Dimming Mirror w/Compass and Homelink
Splash Guards
Cargo Net

Hi viewmasterlady,
I am in Illinois as well and looking for an 08 GT AWD. Can you please tell me what you paid and what were the options.
Also if you financed and at what rate.
Thanks

I wouldnt necessarily walk away from this deal, but you should try to chip into that 1k as much as you can. It is a pretty good deal. I guess the 1k is the hold back plus about $400 in profit, give or take a few hundred dollars. If you cut the 1k in half, you should think about pulling the trigger on the deal. At some point, we must all concede that they need to eat too.
 
I would seriously urge you to find an 08 though. You could get a GT with the same options for several thousands less. Remember, 08 won motortrend SUV of the year. Do an inventory search on cars.com with your zip and you may find a few.
