Replying to: exc90 (Apr 29, 2009 8:29 pm) OK, fair enough for the trade value/"dealer fee" tradeoff. But I'm still VERY suspicious of the no rebate or 4.9% option. Here's why: I'd be willing to bet the paper you signed was not that you "did not get a rebate," it was signing the rebate over to them. Now that's normal and kosher, when you know the rebate is clearly listed in your discount off MSRP. It seems you do not know this for certain. How does it benefit them? THEY get the money from Mazda that should have been an extra discount for YOU -- without giving you the discount! (To be fair, they might have given you part of it, or it may have been a miscommunication -- BUT you still lose out, because the rebate amount should have been itemized, no question in your mind, so you could better decide if it was really such a good deal as they want you to think.) That's also the reason they "could not give you" the 4.9%. They cannot claim credit from Mazda for both. (Although at this rate, I wouldn't put it past them.) In other words, they will get the $1,000 from Mazda by telling them you "chose" the $1,000 rebate instead of the 4.9%. That my friend, is why the salesman/woman couldn't answer your very good question. I think you were misled, at best. This even seems possibly illegal, although I'm not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice in any way. In fact, I cannot say with certainty you were totally gipped, as the overall discount seemed decent and you feel the extra $9 per month is no biggie. (Although keep in mind that's adding another $450 - $500 at least to what you're paying!) I cannot access your original post at this moment, but was the price you mentioned before or after trade-in? What total amount did you end up financing, after trade-in? But If I were you, I absolutely would look into this until it is crystal clear to your satisfaction. Find a friend/colleague who's good with this kind of stuff to help you review the paperwork and the things I've said here, to see if I'm right or off base. As I suggested, also contact Mazda US HQ for guidance on what may have happened, to just ask questions about how the rebate/4.9% deal is SUPPOSED to work. I hope you in the meantime, haven't yet filled out the dealer survey/rating form (tell the manager (don't deal with the salesperson any longer) that until you have a clear, written explanation, they will have totally failed the survey -- they hate that). And don't recommend others yet to this dealership. Good luck!

Great forum. Would appreciate thoughts on the following pricing I am considering on an 09 GT AWD with MSRP $40,505, but demo with around 1800 miles on it: $32,955 vehicle price (includes freight) and around $34,150 out the door. Thanks!

Replying to: gt8 (Apr 30, 2009 10:47 am) So you're getting north of $7,500 of the MSRP (although I prefer to deal in relation to the invoice myself).? That sounds like a decent deal, especially if you're satisfied with it. Hopefully, you shopped at least one other place to get a comparison price? Also, be sure to check online sellers, like CarsDirect.com. For instance, one dealer here on Long Island, NY recently offered me a "super deal" (in her words) on a 2009 AWD Sport for $27,000. Not bad, esp. if you want all-wheel-drive, which I did not. So I shopped another dealer, who offered me a FWD Sport with pre-installed heated/power seats and a roof rack for $25,700. OTD about $28,000. I also checked the CarsDirect.com price, which is $25,847, no options. The invoice is $29,200 (w/o options). My point is that now I have a good feeling about what kind of deal I'm getting. It may not be the absolute lowest I could ever find, but I know it's not a ripoff by any means. The dealership is close by and has come well-recommended by my own mechanic, for one. So that's how I made my decision. Hope this helps! |

Replying to: bnp (May 04, 2009 10:48 am) did you get that off the official MazdaUSA site? I was hoping the incentives did not go down from April, since I have not closed my deal yet. And lo and behold -- unless my eyes (and memory) deceive me (both of which happen at my age) it looks like the 2009 CX-9 Dealer Engagement Cash went UP by $500. Wasn't it $3,500 last month, and is now $4,000?
