Replying to: bolair0121 (Oct 08, 2007 10:36 am) WRONG.. It is an attempt by the dealer(s) to get unwarranted profit from a client. The 'trick' is not new and I am surprised anyone falls for it.

Replying to: d4yt0n4 (Sep 30, 2007 12:34 pm) I hope you see this message. You stated that you'd gotten the following deal, which sounds excellent (especially since I live south of SF and Menlo Mazda is not far): '08 CX-9 AWD GT: $32636 1EP (RSES): $2202 port fee (verified with 3 other Mazda dealers - they all pay this for this area): $200 dealer: $100 License fee: $228 Reg/Title fee $69 doc prep $55 CA Tire fee $9 CA Tax $2595 total $38094 A couple of questions... 1) was this car "on the lot" or did you order it. If it was in stock, do you have any idea if you would have been able to get the same deal with a special order, or was this only available on current inventory? 2) I'm curious about the sales tax figure. CA state tax in San Mateo county is 8.25%, and the tax you paid is well short of that. I know that if you live in another, lower tax county, like Sonoma, Tuolomne, etc., you get taxed according to where you live rather than where you bought the car, but I can't align the $$ you paid with any of the rates from 7.25 on up. What am I missing? Thanks!

Replying to: intrum (Oct 08, 2007 7:46 am) Its possible but difficult to export to the UK. Here are the things you need to think about. - your friend will need to buy it in his/her name. A dealer can't sell to a foreigner as you need a US driving license and insurance. - you will need a certificate of title to clear US customs but it is theoretically possible just to use a certificate of origin (most shippers will insist on title though) - another reason you will need a US buyer, you will probably have to pay sales tax (NY is very high) - don't let the dealer on that the vehicle is for export. The chain of events will mean that when the car clears US customs the main distributor will be informed of the VIN number and he will harass the dealer. The dealer will probably lose his rebate and be blackmarked. After I exported my first car, the dealer phoned me for weeks as if I had been exporting WMD to the Iraqis. - get all the extra's in person rather than by mail order. I fitted roof rails and cross bars. I had to assemble them in the dealers lot as it took 4 times to find a package that didn't have broken components, imagine doing that long distance! - On the plus side, its a great car that looks even better "in the flesh". I went for Black/Sand with MR.

Please post your deal in terms of $ under the invoice price. 07 CX-9 $0 under invoice. At invoice. 08 CX-9 $500 under invoice. One dealer claims he will sell at this price, he has posted numerous times against the rules so the host removed his posts. (We need more details from him concerning extra fees and ad-ons) Has anyone used the auto mall? Keep posting those good deals.

Replying to: 4tune81 (Oct 10, 2007 6:38 pm) I'm also curious about these numbers. In your earlier post, you said you paid "$100 over invoice", but that doesn't seem to be the case based on these figures (unless you are using invoice figures that differ from Edmunds?). Edmunds states that the base invoice for an 08 GT AWD is $32,041. If you add your $2202 RSES package to this, and all of the other fees and taxes you listed, the total would be $37,499. Since you paid $38,094, it seems you actually paid about $595 over invoice.  Still not bad, but I'm just trying to get a feel for how close to invoice people are getting, and it's difficult when there aren't many buyers reporting their complete numbers, and even more difficult when the numbers that are posted don't seem to make sense. If you can clarify, that would be great! Thanks for your help. It is appreciated!

We bought our 2008 FWD CX-9 GT at Sutherlin Mazda in Georgia and had a great experience. If you are looking to buy this or any car, and you work for a "decent" size company (I work for IBM), check with your HR department to see if you company has a discount arrangement with Ford/Mazda. Our CX-9 GT, with Moonroof/Bose, Navigation, Towing Package, Roof Rails and Retractable Cargo Cover was $38,200, walk off the lot (after tax and other fees). I haven't done a lot of the number crunching but I think this was a pretty good price. Does anyone feel like confirming or contrasting my notion of a good price? The tax was 6%. Thanks, Happy CX-9 Owner

I'm totally new both to this forum and to negotiating to buy/lease a car, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm in Houston. I'm going to have to order my CX-9 to get exactly what I want, which is a Grand Touring with GT Assistance package, Rear-seat entertainment system, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Auto-dimming mirror, Sirius, all-weather floor mats, and wheel locks. I received a quote for invoice price. Is that good, or should I be looking for under invoice? Thanks very much! psycho6

Replying to: eujung (Oct 11, 2007 1:38 pm) I paid $38K out the door for a very similar model (they had to order from another dealer): 08 GT FWD CX9 Assist package Rear Ent. package Towing pack Home link/Compass mirror wheel locks I think I did "ok" but probably could have done better based on what I have been reading here, although salesman (not the one I dealt with through the process) assured me I got a great deal. MSRP for this was right at $40k. $39,9 maybe? |
