Just to be clear, what was the final price you paid for the car including all fees, before tax and title?
 
What was the invoice price of the car?
 
Thanks

Thanks for all the information, it is helpful to all.
 
If I understand correctly, the total price with all fees and before tax (not including your EW) was $204 under invoice.
 
We will put that one in the books.

Uh, the dealer can NEVER MAKE you finance through any particular finance company.
 
What they may be saying is that their price is valid only if you finance through Mazda - which is because they're evidently getting a kickback on the financing of some sort and aren't making enough on the vehicle otherwise.
 
But 48 months at 4.9% is probably not a bad deal - though some other dealer might have been able to get you better rates (but perhaps not as good a price).

You probably don't have to test drive the actual car as much as you might when you're trying to decide whether that's the model you want, but you SHOULD drive it a LITTLE just to make sure that there's nothing wrong with it - no rattles, shimmies, shakes, whines, etc. And in theory, you should always take delivery of a new vehicle in daylight so you can thoroughly inspect it. I actually had a vehicle (that I picked up at night) that had a paint flaw from the factory. Yes, the dealer fixed it for free, and yes, I probably would have taken delivery of the vehicle anyway, but it would have been nice to have it on the due bill from the start and not have to convince them that it wasn't something that I even COULD have done.
 
After all, even the best manufacturer can make mistakes and you want to try to find them before driving off with the vehicle.
 
Manufacturer web sites are sometimes off as well because they may not be updated right away or might be updated but the car you're looking at was from a previous batch at a previous price.
 
Yeah, I honor a wrong price as well, but you're not talking about someone not honoring a price they quoted. You're talking about the dealer telling you that the SUGGESTED price is different from what you think it is. I'm sure they'd be happy to honor a sale at MSRP - even one $500 lower than they say it is! (grin)
 
No, not a car dealer. Never was, never will be. I'm a computer consultant, actually. Just very detail oriented and a very "by the numbers" sort of guy (yeah, ok... say it... nerd (grin)).
 
They may or may not be trying to put one over on you (well, since they're car dealers, I'd vote that they probably are, but that's another issue). Get them to send you a copy of the window sticker. Then you'll know 100% for sure where that $500 is.
 
By the way, those other places you can buy the car... is it for the same price? Or higher?

Count me in on that list of those who were dinged for "excess wear and tear."
 
Several years ago, I had a Ford Explorer. The dealer looked at it and said all was ok. When I brought it back maybe 3 weeks later to actually return it, the front tire was suddenly worn too far and unevenly.
 
Turns out that Explorers have/had a known problem of not being able to keep alignment so it wasn't really my fault. But it just wasn't worth the time to fight with them (and probably have to file suit) just for less than a couple hundred bucks.
 
My last lease return in March I was actually pretty lucky with. It had a round rock hole in the corner of the windshield that the inspector didn't notice - but they DID ding me a couple hunderd for supposedly dirty back seats (which probably cost a $20 detail job). I figured that was less than the windshield would have been so I came out ahead.
 
And I was a boy scout when I was a kid, so I always follow that motto: "Be Prepared."

All the dealers in our area were offering $200 over invoice for 2008s, rather than work down from MSRP. 2007 models were being offered at $500 below invoice, but I couldn't find a suitable car. I"m sure dealers hate the internet, but it has been great as a buyer!
 
I just bought a 2008 CX-9 GT AWD (beautiful black cherry/sand) with the RSES from Menlo Mazda in Redwood City, CA. I paid $100 over invoice. Nice folks and the transaction went smooth. We love the car, too!

Steve,
 
Please provide the details of your purchase.
 
Did you pay any fees? (Doc fee, etc...)
 
Thanks
