Replying to: luvcarzrich (Aug 31, 2007 3:02 pm) This is sounding like a fee included by the network of distributors for our area, which pretty much acts as an intermediary between the factory and the dealer. Much like the maligned Toyota Southeast admin fee of ~$700. Just to be sure, I asked two other local dealers for an out-of-the-door quote before I walk on these guys. It has been two days and these other dealers seem to be more interested in pushing whatever 07' they have in the lot. I understand no one wants to provide quotes and instead having the customer come to the lot for the royal pressure treatment, but I am not sure people understand the new reality of Internet shopping. On 2005, I bought a Honda through their Internet department and it was a dream-experience, with an out-of-the-door quote over e-mail in a few hours, a scheduled appointment to order the vehicle, and a schedule delivery date. I can't get any of this from any of the three Mazda dealers in the Raleigh NC area.

Replying to: nastacio (Aug 31, 2007 10:35 am) I would double check your sources. With new and/or popular models dealers are not often willing to sell at "discount" prices so thet tack on all kinds of conditions or make low ball offers on your trade-ins. |

S-Plans blow away regular dealer & customer incentives, however, for the mere mortals, here's a newer dealer ad:

Replying to: cmuniz (Sep 01, 2007 6:13 am) The plan states "Mazda dealerships may charge reasonable and customary document preparation and/or administrative service fees for S-Plan sales." In other words, either the assessment fee is charged by the factory as part of the invoice, or the dealer would have to list it as separate charge in the pre-order form. I'll wait until the car arrives to check the invoice.

Replying to: nastacio (Sep 01, 2007 7:26 pm) I'm looking to buy a 2008 CX-9 (or a Buick Enclave) myself in the very near future. I have the S-Plan and am in the Raleigh area too - very interested in what you find out or experience at the local dealers. There are things I like better about the CX-9 over the Enclave and vice-versa... it may come down to finding one or the other equipped the way I want and a dealer I can work with. Mike

Replying to: twinpower (Sep 02, 2007 9:42 am) They will refuse staunchly to give you a detailed quote for an out-of-the-door price. Actually, none of them has done it so far other than agreeing to honor S-plan (Mazda) and suppliers price (GM) . The trick is on the dealer's fees, where they will get pen-happy, which is why I wouldn't walk in without the quote. In the end, I decided to place a pre-order to get "in line" for a 2008 CX-9, in order to buy myself sometime while trying to get quotes from all dealers. I think you will not have this problem a few months from now, when the 2008 CX-9's and the Enclave will have become old news. |

Does anyone know if 2008 White color is the same as the White on 2007 model? I haven't seen 2008 model yet but the description on my local dealer webpage indicates 2008 color as 'Crystal White Pearl Mica' versus just 'Crystal White' for 2007. My wife prefers a pearl like creamy color over just plain white.
