#3536 of 3657 Mazda CX-9 in PA by ppkk

Hi there,
 
I got the following prices for a 2012 CX-9 GT with AWD, plus Moon roof, Bose, Nav, power lift gate, Roof rail and tow hitch, total MSRP of $40,295 and I got the following quotes:
 
- $34,784 paid cash (no 0% financing)
- $36,784 with 0% financing
 
Prices exlude tax and all fees. The dealer told me there is $1,000 rebate with 0% financing but $3,000 rebate without it (paid cash), hence the difference of $2K in above prices. I do not have another Mazda so I do not qualify for the loyalty program.
 
Thoughts on the above prices? If there is room to move, how much should I ask for?
 
Thanks!

I think there is at least another $1000 of room to negotiate. How much is the documentation fee? This is a place where dealers make an easy profit. Are there any other fees other then the tire tax?

Getting it from NY dealer...doc fee is only $75 - and out of state registration for transferring plates is $241.
You mean there is scope for $1000 negotiation with 0.0

You are being offered $3800 below MSRP. Mazda is giving $2250 cash to their dealers. If you don't take the 0% financing the dealer cash is $3000. You are not getting much of a discount.
 
I think for this time of year with the Mazda incentives a reduction of $5000 off MSRP is reasonable.

Thanks for the feedback. Are you suggesting the $5K discount off MSRP should haven been with 0% financing?
 
In the end, I added a few options and bought the car for $35,474 vs. an MSRP of $41,300 which means $5,800 off list price, but I paid cash for it. I would certainly have preferred taking advantage of the 0% financing but the dealer wanted another $1,800 for that (it would have been nice to know the difference was only $750 at the time I was signing.)
 
In the end, it seems I still got a decent price, but could have got 0% financing for slightly more, which I would have preferred.
 
Thoughts?

Thanks Mike.
 One clarification.. $5000 of MSRP for 0.0% financing or not taking the financing?
if the above for 0.0 financing, how much less for not taking 0.0 financing?

the local Mazda dealer here that they wouldn't get the new Sept deals until Tuesday (they're closed until then). They had 2 CX-9's left , a Touring and a GT and I drove the T as it has the power gate, leather, moonroof, Bose options I wanted but he didn't even try to sell it to me really. Said he'd have a better deal on Tuesday. (This IS the Berkshires and people are pretty laid back-no dealers are open Sunday or Monday this weekend).
 
Meanwhile the best price I got through Truecar for a T (not quite sure with which options though) was $28,862 with the qualification that your "minimum Guaranteed Savings" off MSRP is $4968 so basically the $5,000 off. I'll be in Boston next week so am going to check out Quirk and Gallo in Worcester where the Truecar price came from.
 
I also drove the Volvo XC60 and Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX (both for no real reason...) today. I still think the Volvo is a nicer ride but the 60 interior is way too cramped compared to the CX-9. I used to have the XC70 and that is more comfy but not sure the price difference is worth it as I can still use the third row seats in the Mazda as my boys are only 14 so I'll be carting them and their teammates around for a while yet. I'm thinking the Volvo type car needs to wait until I get rid of the kids. The Mazda guy also noted how much cheaper the Mazda is to maintain. My husband HATED my Volvo-every time it needed work it was some outrageous amount. But it did drive really nice and felt really safe but the CX-9 felt quite substantial too.
 
In closing I'll note that not one single car dealer actually tried to sell me a car today. Only in the freakin Berskhires do they not have any problem letting you drive around all day and then leave.
