Replying to: monroviamom (Jan 14, 2008 9:22 pm) 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. |

Replying to: seloo (Jan 15, 2008 4:05 am) You are correct about the extraneous fees that pad the price of the vehicle. I asked my dealer to explain exactly what the transportation fee and the assessment fee pays for. They really couldn't give a clear explanation for it. Eventually, the affect was getting 1175 below the invoice on the vehicle on my delivery. I've realized that the pricing that people may get from any purchasing plans (Mazda's S-Plan, Infiniti's VPP) may not be the best deal that can be had on the vehicle, but offers the least hassle. As monroviamom put it, less stress maybe worth the hundreds of dollars you spend after you equate the purchase price plus interest (if financed) or higher lease payment (if leased). At the end of the day, the goal of any dealer is... Did the customer leave our lot feeling happy about the purchase?... even if he/she doesn't know how much money was left on the table? That's the ultimate goal. Heck, the manufacturers and dealers have caught on to the fact that Edmunds TMV and Consumer Reports Bottomline Pricing can be used to their advantage. Those estimates are just as padded as any S-Plan!

Replying to: redline122 (Jan 15, 2008 2:16 pm) When one fully understands the TV of money, they will work very hard not to leave any extra on the table. These days 90% of the deal can be done over the Internet, with the balance at the dealership. Saves time, money, (feelings) with less hassle. I agree the S-Plan is not a bad price (without fees), but many people pay too many extra fees. The dealer does not lose any money on a S-Plan deal, but they can make a lot from fees. Your deal represents yet another 1K+ deal under invoice for this car. If you do not get the price you want, then walk away. Good Luck to all! |

Well... it has been an interesting few days... essentially, there are no red w/ Sand interior vehicles that are pre-loaded the way I want it (which is causing me to pay for additional labor charges I don't want to pay for). It appears that there really is only this one vehicle in SCAL at this time... which really minimizes my negotiating strength. Their last/best & final offer is: Invoice Price CX9 $30,842.00 Blind Spot Monitoring $172.00 GT Assist Pkg $2,150.00 Moonroof/Bose $1,514.00 Transportation $535.00 Los Angeles Assessment $150.00 Total $35,463.00 Roof Rails $300.00 (add on from dealer) Homelink Mirror $450.00 (add on from dealer) Total With Accessories $36,213.00 Tax/Fees/Lic/Reg $3,372.95 Sub Total $39,585.95 Total (with $500 rebate) $39,085.95 Is this a good deal? Or is worth sitting & waiting.... eekkk...

Replying to: monroviamom (Jan 16, 2008 6:23 pm) Add ons are too high. The LA fee is BS What fees are being paid in the Tax/Fees/Lic/Reg? With a $500 rebate you should be able to get at least $1K under invoice without all the extra fees. Good Luck! |
