Replying to: batman47 (Nov 18, 2007 7:14 am) First off, California is going to want you to pay taxes on the car here in California (if that's the primary location for use of the vehicle - i.e., if you register it and you live here). So if you travel out of state to buy a vehicle, you'll probably wind up paying tax in THAT state as WELL as in California. That may MORE than wipe out any savings you might have. Second, California requires vehicles all pass certain smog regulations. If the vehicle isn't certified for sale in California, you're going to have to go through a pretty lengthy process (so I hear - never had to do it myself) and pay certain fees and expenses to get the vehicle certified. That's not to say that you CAN'T buy a vehicle out of state and bring it into California, but it can be costly to do so. You should probably check into the specifics with the DMV before you even think about it because it just may not be worthwhile unless you can save several thousand dollars. Also, to answer your question, usually, the biggest part of "X" is tax and license which is California sales tax and whatever the first year license fees are. Hard to say exactly, but probably the license fees are a few hundred bucks - likely $300-$400 or so. Nothing to do with the dealer, that's the State of California. Oh, you get your temporary registration from the dealer with the vehicle. Depending on the backlog, you could get your permanent plates in 30-60 days in many cases - sometimes soon, sometimes longer. If you get so-called "personalized" plates, it can take longer. TMV is an odd thing. It basically tells you what people have been buying those vehicles for recently. Some may be getting good deals, some may be getting bad deals. But that does NOT indicate what sort of a deal YOU could get - only what OTHERS have been getting. It just shows you overall what others have been able to get, so if TMV is very high (close to or at MSRP), that indicates that most dealers haven't been too willing to negotiate much. A low TMV means that dealers are dealing on these vehicles readily. Again, look at MSRP, invoice, and then do YOUR best to negotiate - and if TMV is much lower than they're offering, chances are you could do better negotiating. As for getting a car without moonroof, sound upgrade, and navigation system, rememeber that you MIGHT not always be able to get a vehicle with EXACTLY the mix of options you want. Dealers generally order the set of options that are easiest to sell and that may not meet your exact requirements. Yes, you could special order a vehicle, but that's going to take time and may cost more than a vehicle that's already sitting on the lot (check back here because there was a long post about this maybe a month or two ago). Basically, dealers like to sell cars already on their lot so they're often more willing to deal on those than on a special order. So to get a vehicle special ordered without a moonroof (just as an example) might actually wind up costing you MORE than just buying one off the lot that already has it.

I'm looking to lease a cx9 sport with a invoice price of 29,468. the residual they told me is about 60%. Is that accurate and can i find out the exact residual value before i negotiate a price? What else can i find out before i go back and negotiate? Help is appreciated.

I was offered a CX-9 Grand Touring for $37,975, which is $2,500 off MSRP, $40,475. That is $1,002 above what Edmunds says invoice is. It doesn't seem like much of deal. Should I expect more or what till rebates roll-in? When would we start to see rebates? I think I will qualify for 0% financing, so that works in the dealer's favor.

I got an offer from a local dealership here in NJ and wanted to pass it by you. Mazda CX-9, Grand Touring, Loaded, MSRP- $40165 Price Quoted for lease- $37336 (Edmunds invoice is $36,644) NJ Gas Guzzler Tax- $1623.48 Other Fees- $541.50 Dealer wants $1127 down, after the $750 rebate is taken off($1877.97 prior), payments of $586.47/month Term is 36 months, 12K year miles. Money factor- .0018900 Residual- 54% At first glance, this didn't seem like a great deal. Thanks for your help.

Replying to: noonan18 (Nov 26, 2007 4:35 pm) But, the lease price seems high, and what is the deal with the GGT and other fees? If this is such a great car, why is the residual so low? I agree, this seems like it is not a great deal. Maybe the lease experts can provide you with some more information. |
