Replying to: warever (Sep 18, 2007 9:30 am) The Buy Rate (this is what the dealers gets from the lienholder) The Dealers rate (this can be anything for one to three points higher) As for the price of the car that seems like a great deal for a 2008 CX-9 GT with all those goodies |

Please post your deal in terms of $ under the invoice price. 07 CX-9 ???? under invoice. 08 CX-9 ???? under invoice.

| Got a 2007 CX9 grand touring package, which was in the lot for 34,669 (with navigation, towing package, moon roof, sirus, wheel lock, cargo net) which was the Splan/invoice price for it at 0% APR for 36 months. I got tired of haggling, so just liked the car and got and like it very much. | |

Replying to: mkumar (Sep 20, 2007 6:59 pm) You know, it is funny that I still "hang out" in here. Back in March when the lease on my 2003 RX300 was up, I was most seriously looking at the new RX350, the RX400h hybrid, and the CX-9. I actually ended up getting the RX400h (not the CX-9) and am certainly more than happy with the vehicle (and as a lease, it is really costing me no more than the CX-9 would have). But then, I keep thinking that the extra space in the CX-9 would have been nice (and I DO think they're prettier than the Lexus). Wish I had the money and the space to get both. (grin) |

I agree with Seloo. Even easier is just posting price paid vs. final line of sticker. Thanks to all.

Replying to: moisty (Sep 16, 2007 7:17 am) I have recently begun the time consuming, confusing, learning trek to purchasing a new vehicle. I have found the "downlow" available on the internet a blessing as well as overwhelming as I need plenty of time to disaggregate all of the info before I can move on. My plan is to have something before the snow flies in Michigan as I have a Jeep Wrangler and don't want it to see the salt! Anyway, my adventure began with thinking about a truck or Crossover. (I returned a leased 2004 Ford F150 back in February of '07). I drove the Toyota Tacoma (loved it, but it doesn't come with a sunroof and leather, and unfortunately, that is a dealbreaker for me). I drove the Tundra which was beautiful, but I didn't care for the ride so much. My F-150 rode very smooth, and the Tundra felt squishy at times to where it actually upset my stomach at a few bumps.(This is a completely personal subjective opinion, so I hope not to offend). I then decided to look at the crossovers and drove an '08 Highlander Limited. The first drive I was in awe, but I think it was because it was so sleek and clean, and luxurious compared to my stark Jeep Wrangler! After I went back and did some more research, and then drove it a few days later, I didn't like it as much. For lack of a better term, it felt "floaty" and didn't feel sporty enough for me. However, it is larger and I understand, the clean sheet put it on the avalon body instead of the camry. I think I'd like to try driving the Sport model to see if it is a better ride for me. We tried the RAV4, which I thought would be great for my needs, but my boyfriend who is 6 5 1/2" was just too smoonched...damn! Oh well! We then tried the '08 Subaru Tribeca. That, in my opinion, is gorgeous...I know it did not receive such high accolades when they first came out (the front pig snout look)...anyhoo, you feel like you're in an airplane cockpit...very cool, but the overall power performance, even though it has improved, is a little too low for my needs...I tow motorcycles and seadoos... Yesterday, we went and drove the '07 Mazda Touring CX9. I wanted to drive the '08, but the dealer didn't have it, and said the two years were the same. Well, that's not true because the '08 engine gained some ponies and went from a 3.5-3.7 L engine, and there's a few more options and standards...like the blind spot detector. Anyway, I instantly loved it, but the sales guy rode with us, and that was awkward because I felt stymied and couldn't really "try" it. I have since read many reviews, have visited forums, and am overall pleased with how it was rated. I'm a little concerned about resale, as Mazda isn't "UP THERE" with Honda and Toyota, so I'm still not completely sold. We then drove the '08 Saturn Vue and '08 Outlook. I wasn't even going to consider American (for various reasons), but the reviews suggested to not overlook the Outlook  , and since we were there, we tried the Vue, too. Both are appealing to me, and they did a great job making the outside of the Outlook appear smaller than the inside. It is not as sporty and tight a ride as the Mazda, but it has its own merits. I would say that the Saturns may be a 2nd or 3rd choice for me right now, with the Mazda being in the number 1 slot. I'm not going to consider the Honda Pilot because it is supposed to get a clean sheet for '09, and I'm afraid I won't be happy with all of the changes if I'm "stuck" with an '08, and for my tastes, the looks of the current Pilot are too plain. I'm still thinking about driving the Hyundai Santa Fe, but the '08s so far haven't been released. I saw the bigger Hyundai, the Vera Cruz, and I didn't like the body style as much as the others I'm considering, and I thought it had a pretty hefty price tag without such amenities as a navigation system. I definitely will want to try driving all of the cuvs again once I narrow down to my top 3. I think it's imperative to do this as once the emotional novelty of getting a new vehicle turns into the logical decision making mode, it's always good to go back and see if it still fits your requirements in a vehicle. So, now that I've given you my experiences, I have a few questions for all of you expert shoppers/consumers out there... Regarding the '08 Grand Touring (GT)...I have read that the 20" tires give a much rougher ride due to the low profile of the tires. I am also concerned about the cost of replacing those buggers, and I'm not too thrilled about the fake wood grain in the interior. But, I would love to have the blind spot detector, the puddle lamps, fog lamps, and a few other things that this trim level offers. I'm considering the Touring and decking it out as much as possible. I can keep it under $40,000 MSRP. Do you know if I can offer invoice or below? If I decide to purchase, and based on someone's prior suggestion,(thank you) I'm thinking of getting preapproved for financing beforehand, and will probably need to put 20% or more down to get my payments lower. I have been leasing for the last 10 years, and am not sure if I should do that again. Any input anyone can give me on whether to lease or buy (based on my info shared), GT versus T, or anything you think would be beneficial to my decision, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks for your time, and good luck to you!
