Replying to: srinaldi (Mar 13, 2007 6:42 pm)  I also didn't include destination charge in my calculation, which you have to pay for but I didn't really consider part of the price of the car, since it's not something tangible and doesn't show up on the S-plan pricing sheet except as a footnote. So after all of that's accounted for I have the same numbers as you. Regardless - it's a great deal and I didn't have to negotiate, which is what I absolutely hate about car buying. The S-Plan is basically a program where the customer pays the dealer invoice price on the car. So the dealers don't lose out, Mazda will reimburse the dealer for a certain portion of the difference between the invoice price and MSRP on the vehicle. It's a win-win-win because Mazda gets the sale, and the dealer gets a known profit, and the customer gets a good deal. The dealer and Mazda still make money on it, though I'm sure Mazda takes a small hit on their margin and the dealer doesn't get full sticker (though they probably wouldn't anyway - especially if they're dealing with srinaldi).  I believe the "S" stands for "Supplier" as in Supplier Pricing. My wife works for a state university which buys whole fleets of vehicles from Ford, and Ford owns a third of Mazda, hence the S-Plan pricing for university employees. It's just a marketing deal designed to keep the big purchasing partners coming back to Ford to buy their fleets, and to hopefully get the employees to buy Ford/Mazda vehicles. The corrollary for Ford vehicles (and other divisions like Land Rover & Volvo) is called X-Plan. |

Folks, one dealier in CT told me that there are simply no CX-9 FWD models in stock in the entire Northeastern US... either in Sport, T or GT versions. Mazda's online inventory seems to confirm that. Any insights on that? I am not so hot on sinking $1,200 or so on an option that we may use a few times a year at best. Thanks!

CX-9 Grand Touring FWD with Moonroof/Bose pkg. in Seattle area. First at $100 over Edmunds invoice price, second one at invoice price. That will be pretty hard for the other dealers who respond to beat.......... |

Newbie questions. I have done a thorough search around the central Florida area. I am looking for a GT or touring with Nav + entertainment. I can't find any. Can the dealer install this option after factory? Do I try to get him to search all over? I'm trying to accumulate all info before I dive headfirst into the dealership. I want to sign and drive, and can't wait for a long shipment. Thanks.
