Paid $750 over invoice for 2008 CX-9 by kj123

Just so people have something recent to compare...I purchased a 2008 Touring two days ago for $750 over invoice and got 0% financing for 36 months. Tinted windows and window etching were included as well Not sure how anyone could offer much less than that, dealerships must get extra sales bonuses or something from manufacturers.

Please post your deal in terms of $ under the invoice price.
                
07 CX-9 $0 under invoice. At invoice. (Are there any left?)
                
08 CX-9 $1487 under invoice. $500 below invoice seems like a pretty easy deal getting $1K under invoice is a challenge. It may be a good time to just watch the auto market until incentives return.
           
Includes rebates (If there are any).
          
Paying extra fees (Doc Fee, etc...) are still having an impact on these deals.
              
Keep posting those good deals.

Hi -
 
We just purchased a Touring 2008 CX-9 as well and I have a couple of questions for you. Was the $750 over invoice before TTL or after? If after, what was your out the door price? Finally, did you use Edmunds for the dealer's invoice price or did the dealer show you an invoice? Hope you are enjoying your new ride as much as we are. We are taking it on a road trip this afternoon - can't wait to get it on the highway!

Sticker was 33970, included sunroof/bose. I paid 31980 + TT&L which brought it back to about 34200. I calculated the interest savings as $2,800, using an assumed rate of 6% at 36mos vs 0% at 36mos. There were no rebates available.
 
I am enjoying the car a great deal. i have a bmw 325i as well that is not nearly as fun to drive...go figure!

I've been reading these boards for the past few months prior to buying my 08 CX9GT FWD which I bought last week. The dealership in the Bay Area I've seen mentioned several times is Menlo Park Mazda. But if you are near the southbay, I encourage you to check out Capitol Mazda in San Jose. They both quoted me for the exact same vehicle (I checked the VIN#) and Menlo offered invoice but Capitol offered $500 below invoice. They would have offered $1000 below invoice but the exact color and options I wanted was no where to be found in the Bay Area or arriving in the next 8 weeks, so I would have had to order. I didn't want to wait 12 weeks. Luckily we found the car but it was 200 miles away near Fresno. Any local dealership would have to pay to get it to them so they couldn't be as aggressive with pricing. They actually had to pay invoice to buy the car from the other dealership and still offered it to me at $500 below to get the deal as I had been working with them for several weeks.

S-Plan Pricing Quote? by monroviamom
Jan 14, 2008 (8:22 pm)

I live in Southern CA & am trying to purchase a GT FWD CX-9 (2008) - Copper Mica Red w/ Sand Interior. So far, the best deal I have includes:
 
                       S-Plan Price MSRP
  
CX-9 $30,842.00 $33,355.00
BMSM $172.00 $200.00
GT Assist Pkg $2,150.00 $2,500.00
Moonroof/Bose $1,514.00 $1,760.00
Transportation $535.00 $635.00 (same as destination fee)
L.A.Assessment $150.00 $0.00 (WHAT IS THIS??)
  
Total $35,463.00 $38,450.00
  
Roof Rails $350.00 $420.00 (they have to add on)
Homelink Mirror $595.00 $695.00 (they have to add on)
  
Total w/Accessories
                           $36408.00 $39,549.00
  
Tax/Fees/Lic/Reg $3,372.95 $3,652.08
  
Sub Total after $500 Rebate
                          $39,280.95 $42,701.08
  
They are offering me a $500 rebate to offset the over-priced dealer add-ons (so essentially, I am back to s-plan/invoice pricing.
 
Please let me know what you all think... also, what is the $150 LA Assessment fee? Is that a negotiated way the dealers can make a bit more $$$ with the S-plan pricing?
 
Any advise would be welcomed!

Hi there!
 
The S-Plan does not necessarily reflect the lowest price you will pay for the vehicle - it just provides more of a hassle-free experience with the dealer.
 
So let me get this straight:
The factory built out CX9 is:
GT/FWD - 33355
BSM - 200
GT Assist - 2500
Moonroof/Bose/Changer - 1760
Grand Total for MSRP = 37815.00
Grand Total/S-Plan = 34678
S-Plan savings from MSRP = 3137
 
The dealer has agreed to add on the roof rails and the mirror at the S-Plan price correct?
 
Roof rails - 420
Homelink - 695
Grand Total for MSRP plus dealer add-ons = 38930
Grand Total plus dealer add-ons/S-Plan = 35623
S-Plan savings from (MSRP+Dealer Add-ons) = 3307
 
As for the LA Assessment fee, I would really press on the dealer what this cost is all about? The destination fee is potentially padded as well, as you can see in your S-Plan pricing.
 
Just as an FYI, I had an MSRP of 39300 and was able to get it down to 35000 in Southern California - no S-Plan discounts, just playing hardball. Getting approximately 1K off MSRP is the typical deal that the dealer would be happy to give any anxious customer. The S-Plan seems like it's a better deal than the typical deal, but it can be better. It's a little funny how the dealer is willing to show their invoice paper work - yes it IS padded! The invoice price on my vehicle was 36175. I started at the ungodly price of 33000 and worked up to 35000.
 
The big question...
Did you start real low on the negotiations and then work up to the S-Plan price? Or did you not want to deal with the haggle and used the S-Plan tactic from the get-go?
 
Remember, if you never ASK, the answer is always NO. Good luck.

NO DEAL!
 
At least $1K below the invoice price with no extra fees or add-ons.
 
Watch out, on some of these deal they add the Des. Fee twice. Once as part of the invoice price, then an additional charge.
 
Do your homework.
 
Best of Luck!

I purchased with s-plan and there was a $200 Denver Assessment Fee on mine. I find it interesting that the Assessment fee is on s-plan but not MSRP, unlike the Dest charge which is the same. this leads me to believe that it is padding can be removed.
 
I found the s-plan pricing to be fair for both parties. In my case the process was quick and painless and I'm enjoying my CX-9 now. It can't hurt to ask for more discounts, but at some point it comes down to $ saved vs. time negotiating and dealing with the saleperson. you could spend a month haggling for another $500 or enjoy your car now.
