#687 of 2199 Re: S-Plan Pricing Quote? [seloo] by redline122 Jan 15, 2008 (1:16 pm)
Replying to: seloo (Jan 15, 2008 3:05 am) Excellent advice, seloo. It appears that monroviamom already had taken delivery of the vehicle and is happy with the S-Plan pricing - which is very near the dealer's invoice price.   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! Replies to this message: seloo (Jan 15, 2008 5:50 pm) redline122 (Jan 15, 2008 5:52 pm)

Replying to: monroviamom (Jan 14, 2008 8:22 pm) I was negotiating over an '08 AWD GT this past weekend when the salesman showed me the invoice. It was almost identical to Edmunds' invoice except for the "Pittsburgh assessment". I asked the guy what that was, and he said it's a fee charged on behalf of Pittsburgh area Mazda dealers for advertising. Needless to say, I did't buy their BS or their CX-9!

Replying to: vinsuz (Jan 15, 2008 1:42 pm) Well, I'm sure they will call you back in a day or two to sweeten the deal some more.   Unless you've already bought another vehicle elsewhere.

Replying to: redline122 (Jan 15, 2008 1:16 pm) Good post.   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!

Replying to: redline122 (Jan 15, 2008 1:16 pm) Sheesh...I got my wires crossed when reading ski's post, thinking it was monroviamom.   Let me rewind and assume that monroviamom has NOT taken delivery of the vehicle.

#693 of 2199 s-Plan Pricing Quote? by monroviamom Jan 16, 2008 (5:23 pm)
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 5:23 pm) If I were you, I would walk away!   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!

Replying to: monroviamom (Jan 16, 2008 5:23 pm) I live in So Cal and I purchased a Copper Red 2WD Grand Toruring with the Bose/Sunroof package from Browning Mazda. The dealer offered me $500 below invoice and I hadd the $500 rebate as well. They did charge me the $150 LA Assessment fee...you can't get around not paying that. My sister bought a Mazda 3 from Star Mazda about a year ago and they charged that too. In fact I called a number of dealers before I purchased the CX-9 and they all charge that. Anyway, hope that helps. Replies to this message: hhllau (Jan 17, 2008 9:02 am) seloo (Jan 17, 2008 9:46 am) laker34 (Jan 17, 2008 10:49 am) seloo (Jan 17, 2008 3:36 pm) and 7 more...

Replying to: laker34 (Jan 17, 2008 8:24 am) We ordered our CX9 GT AWD about 4 months ago negotiated at invoice. Car finally arrived, and I told the dealer that these cars are going at $1K under invoice. He said he would give me the deal if it's a FWD. He said with a AWD, invoice is already a excellent deal. Current invoice is $80 more than 4 months ago, but since we pre-negotiated, he's giving me what we had agreed on. So technically, I'm getting $80 under invoice. $150 LA Assessment fee applies. Plus TT&L. The car was supposed to come before the end of the year. Unfortunately, it never made it in time for the 0% financing. We're now stuck with a 1.9%. Does anybody know whether one can buy extended warranty from out-of-state dealers? I got a great deal buying from out-of-state dealers on my Honda and Toyota extended warranties.
