Switch to lock AWD? by kharris

Hi folks!
     Can someone tell me if the CX-9 has a switch to lock the AWD so it has a 50/50 front/rear power distribution. A number of other crossover SUV's have this feature but I haven't seen it mentioned for the Mazda CX-9. Thanks!

Holdback by tewks999

Are Mazda dealerships receiving a holdback for the CX-9s? Edmunds is stating that Mazda gives a 2% holdback, but I thought I remember one time reading that there are sometimes exceptions. I dind't know with the CX-9 being so new, if maybe they wouldn't get one.
 
Secondly, if you have you CX-9 special ordered, does the dealership still receive the holdback? Since it's not going to sit on the lot at all, I wasn't sure if holdback would be cut-out of the process altogether.
 
Thanks!

Dealer hold back is less the 2% on the CX-9.
 
If you special order a CX-9, the dealer will receive the holdback. The factory has no way of knowing what orders are special orders vs. stock orders.
 
I don't know why holdback is such a major issue with some people. Dealers have to stay in business somehow. You really think you can stay in business selling vehicles at $100 to $200 over invoice?

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your help.
 
I totally agree with you. There's an expected profit by the dealership. If they didn't profit, they wouldn't have desire to stay in business. However, it's nice to know if they're making an additional $700. For me, it's nice to know that if they're selling a car for $1,000 over invoice, they're actually pulling in about $1,700. You can't expect to pull every dime from them, but it's helpful to know the real numbers.
 
Once again, thank you for replying so quickly.

No problem. You will have better luck negotiating the selling price. Dealers do not like the customer bringing up holdback.
 
My advise, offer $500 over invoice. That is a good deal. I am a Mazda dealer, and we have been letting them go at $500 over. If we can get more, we do!

Well said, I am not a dealer but do appreciate different business practices and some of us "buyers" forget that everyone has "to eat". I, for one, always tell the sales staff that I am looking for a fair deal and I do my homework in order to be able to recognize a fair deal when presented to me.There is no such thing as a bargain when it comes to car purchases, the sales people, most of the time, will not provide the buyer with a final buying price because we usually walk out with that quote to the next dealership and the end result is that the second dealership drops a hundred dollars on that price and we buy there.
The moral of the story is that the first dealer actually did the selling for the second dealership.

I had originally thought about bringing up holdback, but then I read a similar article that stated pretty much what you just said. Don't try to take away the holdback. It's pretty sacred to dealers.
 
I would have felt a little uneasy trying to get it for $500 over invoice, but now that I know it's really 1) $500 over invoice plus holdback and 2) that you say CX-9s are going that close to invoice, I'm more comfortable.
 
Thanks!

I hate when that happens, unless I am the second dealer

CX9 Touring AWD with Moonroof/bose option and wheel locks.
 
MSRP is $34,740; dealer's offer to me is $33,566 and this is after telling him that I got an offer at invoice... I just don't get it.
