JB,
 
I understand the OTD price is nice and simple, but do you agree that you need a reference point to evaluate if the OTD price is a good deal.
 
Your thoughts?

I'm in the Portland, Oregon area and I would love to get a price like that. I'm looking for a Grand Touring AWD model with just about everything. GT Asst Pkg, Moonroof/Bose Audio Pkg, Towing Pkg, Auto-Dimming-Mirror/Compass & Homelink, Roof Rails, All-Weather Floor Matts. According to Edmunds, the invoice price for all of this should be $37,272. My problem is whether the Blind Spot Monitoring System is included in the Grand Turing model. Mazda's brochures claim this is a standard feature on the Grand Touring model (if not it is a $172 invoice price add-on -- of course the dealer will add it on for more than retail). Most dealers say there is an additional charge for the BSMS -- is this correct. Additionally, I can't find all the options I want. I come close, usually everything but the Auto-Dimming Mirror which the dealer wants an arm and a leg (more than retail) to install. Not one dealer has offered to order me the car with all options despite my telling them I can wait. Heck, by waiting maybe there will be a factory rebate offer. So far I have walked away from every dealer. With this high of a price I don't expect to pay one cent over invoice. I would love to find one at $500 to $1,000 under invoice but I have not been as fortunate as others. Anybody any suggestions?

Just picked it up last week 2008 CX9 Sport with Bose/ Moonroof/ ALl Weather Mats /Compass Package/ Power seats/ MSRP $ 33,895.00 Purchased the car for $30,500.00. (3395 off), but the kicker is they gave me $ 12,000 for my 2001 F150 with a KBB of about 9,000.00. Also the dealer beat Mazda's financing by .6%

Actually, two weeks ago, I found a CX-9 with EXACTLY what you want in Sacramento. I ask my dealer (in San Jose) to do a trade with the Mazda dealer there for free. He only wanted to do a trade for free with an Oakland dealer which had a CX-9 with fewer add-ons. I took it. The CX-9 in Sacramento may still be there.
Go to Mazdausa.com and search dealer inventory. Enter Sacramento as city.
Good luck.
 
For GT AWD, you are mostly getting $500-$600 below invoice in SF Bay Area. I would skip some of the simple add-ons for after market (such as Roof Rails, All-Weather Floor Mats). Auto-dimming is difficult to DIY because GT with rain-sensing wiper cover is very hard (nearly impossible) to disassemble perfectly w/o breaking something. Mine does not come with one, I have been doing research on it. So far, no action yet. I have purchase many add-ons and plan to do them this weekend. You can get add-ons at
mazdaparts.org or
mazdagear.com
(both are selling at nearly invoice price). The former has free shipping (no tax if out of state) for order more than $100.

BSM for 2008 GT by ceric

On Blind-spot monitoring...
Every CX-9 produced for 2008 has it. The $200 is included as an option.
You cannot find a 2008 CX-9 GT w/o BSM. So, in that sense it is standard option,
but on the invoice, it shows as an option.

Ceric,
 
Where is a good place to get after market add ons (cross rails and floor mats)? I have never purchased these after market and would be interested in a few dependable sights. Thanks!

If you want the OEM accessories,
mazdaparts.org (>$100 free shipping, maybe no tax depending on state)
mazdagear.com
Both places (both Toyota dealers) have about the same prices (both near invoice).
 
If you want the all-weather mats, I would say the weathertech.com is the best.
But I have the Mazda one. They are less expensive and they fit very well with the railing system of the 2nd and 3rd rows (snap-under the rails and lock in).
 
The risk of "breaking something" is a real concern when installing stuff like roof-rack and auto-dimming mirrors. Be careful of the trim pieces of the roof-rack when trying to snapping them in. If you are not handy, ask for help from others.
 
I have a GT AWD and I have installed the following
- roof-rack with cross bars
- bug deflector
- side molding (from sportwing.com)
- mudflaps (front/rear)
- all weather mat
- cargo net
- cargo area mat
 
My next plan is to install auto-dimming mirror, but I am researching the complexity.
The dealer quoted me $477. With 15% off coupon, it costs $405. The parts together cost about $214 only. It is an easy money to make if I can figure out how to install it w/o breaking anything....(the one w/ rain-sensing is much tougher)

We are planning to purchase a GT (FWD) in the next few weeks and wonder what's happening in the latest transactions.

If you happen to have S-plan pricing, I was offered invoice minus $500 for a GT.
 
Without S-plan, I was initially given $1500 off MSRP without even asking for it. Reading other forums, people are getting invoice with a little haggling, slightly under invoice with a lot of haggling.
 
Good luck!
