CX-9 Best price by sanjayn

Been shopping for a 3rd row SUV for a couple of weeks. Read CR, edmunds, KBB, cars.com and have ot shortlisted to the CX-9 or Veracruz. Went to a couple of dealers in MN and the best price i got for a 2009 Sport FWD with the PW6 power package (heated front seats,mirrors and Pwr driver) was $24,500. Plan to install leather in front seats for $800 (dealer quote) or $1195 for front and 2nd row. Does this sound like a good deal? Have one 16 month old and a 2nd on the way, so leather on the 2nd will get trashed anyway.
 
Also, is AWD a recommended option in Minneapolis? Several folks said not really, since the city does an swesome job of clearing the snow and my wife can work from home on the really bad days.

I have had cloth and leather with a 3 yr old and a 5 yr old. Believe me, leather is easier to clean. Milk and juice wipe off leather much easier than cloth, which soaks them up. Either way, you can always buy a seat cover or put a towel down on the 2nd row seats to keep them from getting stained or ruined. Then again, the incremental $400 to get leather on the 2nd row if you are willing to spend $800 on the front doesn't seem too bad given you are spending $24,500 for the vehicle.

That was my price for the same vehicle in Houston, TX. They should do better than that in MN. I also got free oil change for couple years.

cj69-
 
Buying a car for the S-Plan price is invoice. If a dealer submits an S-Plan coded sale to Mazda, the price cannot differ from what Mazda has designated as the S-Plan price.
 
When the dealer is audited by Mazda, and it is discovered that the sale price is more, or less then the actual invoice price on an S-Plan deal, the dealership can be subject to heavy fines or other forms of punishment due to breach of contract.
 
In Connecticut, CX-9 inventory is extremely low, especially the GT's. I would know, because I am a CT dealer. Dealers that I know of have not been willing to go under invoice to sell one, since there are not enough to go around. If you happen to get a dealer to go under invoice, then take it. More power to you!
 
BTW, what type of CX-9 are you looking for?

about to pull the trigger on a CX9 AWD sport with moonroof/bose, heated seats, backup camera and other extras. Using my own financing to use the 4k rebate
 
MSRP: 35,300
Price: 28,000 +TTL
 
And for the poster in MN - get the AWD!

anyone notice certain colors driving up price? by jcpharm

i ask because i had been shopping for a Black Cherry GT AWD+Nav and it has been very hard to come by here in Northern NJ. i ended up getting one for 34900+TTL which i know is ~$1k more than TMV according to Edmunds but i had been to 4 dealerships that had one (including one 60 miles away in Long Island, NY) and they were ALL DEMOS with >1200miles on them. short of a blowout price (which i wasn't getting from any of them), i wasn't going to spend new car pricing on a demo model. what is it with owners/managers driving black cherry CX9 GTs around here? i know i could've gotten cheaper if i was flexible about the color but it was the only color my wife and i could agree on. oh well....

Same issue here in Saint Louis area. They don't have any Black Cherry, and very few AWD GTs at all (I think maybe 2-3 total). I searched Chicago area and there are a few Black Cherry, but at least one of them is a 6800 mile demo! Most of the inventory is black or white, then silver. not much in the way of color options at all. Very frustrating.

can you tell me what other extras and location? I have a $28K quote for the Sport, AWD, moonroof/bose and power heated seats. Looks like you got more options for same price. I'm in Chicago.

Did you get 0% financing with the $34,900 + TTL price ?
 
I got a Black Cherry CX-9 with Navigation & Rear Entertainment (MSRP $41,015) about 2 weeks ago in the Bay Area for $35,495 + TTL with 0% Financing. If I had not taken the 0% the dealer was willing to reduce the price by another $2,500. Black Cherry CX-9s are very hard to come by. I went about it by searching inventory through the Mazda website then contacting the dealers through Edmunds. The dealer who gave me the best deal (Oakland Mazda) actually got the car from another dealer, Fremont Mazda. I was able to negotiate the price over the phone and get an e-mail with a copy of the Sticker and a screenshot of the deal from the salesman's computer before going to pickup the car. The July incentives are the same as June: $4,000 dealer cash or $1,500 rebate plus 0% financing. You also get an additional $1,000 rebate if you are a current Mazda owner. Most dealers in the Bay Area are giving $8k off MSRP (I was at one yesterday). If you take the 0% financing, you should get at least $5,500 off MSRP.

that is the problem. i am paying cash (no financing) and still they would not go down. problem was i had already been at 4 dealerships all of whom quoted only slightly lower prices (<$1k less) but they were all demos (i don't want a demo). this one had only 2 miles on it (almost right off the boat). i also asked 3 other dealerships that didn't have black cherry GT AWD/Nav and they said they could look for it but they said it was such a rare color that they couldn't guarantee anything and none of them were willing to go under $34300 (why would i take that price with no guarantee of getting it?). i feel like i left no stone unturned...either way, it's fine...i can afford it, but it's hard to accept that so many have gotten it at a better price. goes to show much of this "game" of buying a car is a little luck and timing (especially when you're not willing to be flexible on color!)
