Thanks sethnaga.
 
I'm still stuck on all the 'fees/charges': (1) All of a sudden I've been told that the tax in NJ is not only 7%, but they add an additional 0.4% for SUV's - is this correct?? And again, the additional fees/charges this dealer says they charge are the (1) Dealer Charge of $289 and a (2) Car Registration of $361 (they said that pays for 4yrs of registration) - can anyone confirm that this is 'reasonable'?
 
Right now this is the deal I can get:
MSRP: $43,380
Invoice: $39,568
Price offered me: $ 34,990
 
Pricing comes out to Invoice minus $4,578. This seems like a pretty nice deal - although, as I've mentioned, on top of this, they add 7.4% tax, plus the $289 Doc/Dealer fee and $362 Car registration, for a total of roughly $38,200.
 
2008 Grand Touring AWD
 
 GT Assistance Package
 Moonroof/Bose Stereo
 Blind Spot Monitoring
 Remote Engine Start
 Auto Dim Mirror
 Roof Rails
 Roof Crossbars - (Not sure what the pricing on this was exactly, I believe the salesman mentioned about $113 - if anyone can confirm, please do)
 Towing
 Cargo Mat
 Cargo Net
 Dual Headrest DVD Entertainment Unit - (This is an aftermarket install of an Audiovox/Advent product (model: HR7008PKG) - MSRP was $2,000 and I'm estimating the Invoice at roughly $1,685 for purposes of this pricing analysis - if anyone has more detailed pricing on this unit, I'd appreciate it.)
 
Let me know if this sounds right.

I have been checking your posts, so thanks to you guys I managed to get the following deal:
 
CX-9 GT AWD, GT Assist package, Rear Seat ENT. SYS, roof rails, wheel locks, Blind Spot Monitoring System - 4 miles on the clock and perfect paintwork.
 
MSRP $40,865 for $33,200 before taxes, tags and fees, I did buy extended warranty as I plan to keep this car for a loooong time, and I did have to haggle for a better price for my trade-in, and it took awhile - so if you don't have a trade in you will get through it all much quicker.
 
But I think we got a really good deal throught the internet department of Hayward Mazda, Bay Area, California - in case anyone else in this area is thinking of getting one soon.

I think you have got a great deal there. If you want to push little more, try to get rid off the '$289 Doc/Dealer fee'. If they don't budge, try to get some accessories etc.
 
If you really want to push further, don't call them and play the wait game. Tell him you are considering Acura MDX and got a better deal. It depends on how soon you want the car. Also Validate the MSRP in Edmonds. Don't trust them
 
However the price you got is excellent, and if you don't have time to spend, go head and buy. I don't know the NJ taxes, so validate the tax/registration numbers with some of your friends in NJ
 
Best of luck

I've seen many posts about sales below MSRP on the CX9. What is the reason for this? Are cars in general just not selling so all dealers are offering cars below invoice, or is it something specific about the CX9? Thanks!

SUV sales are down - suffering from higer gas prices, next years model comes out 1st September - they are trying to clear inventory.

Here is why we can get a much better price
 
1) We are in a recession, so not many folks buying expensive Cars especially those that costs more than 30K
2) CX 9 sucks on gas so many who are fuel price conscious avoid CX9.
3) CX9 competition is much more reputed - Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander and Nissan Muranos
4) 2009 model will soon arrive at dealer lot.
 
In summary dealers are desperate, but they don't show it to you when you negotiate. They just act. Never loose the big picture we have today when negotiating - Economy down, Gas price sky rocketing and these are not efficient on fuel

I'd say you got an amazing deal. Congrats.
I am curious what they charged you for the extended warranty.
After talking to friends, we are taking a CX-9 for a test drive this week.
Quite a change because we were looking at a used Caddy before this. But we keep hearing how slick th CX-9's are so....

Ceric. May I ask the name of the dealership in your local paper?
I'm not beyond traveling to get a better deal.
$100-200 of gas vs $6k is an easy calculation.
Thank you

We were charged $1961 to extend the warranty to 6 years, 100,000 miles, but it is meant to cover everything (supposedly) - the company (?) name for the plan was Portfolio. This was supposedly at the fleet/internet department discounted price - but that could have just been a line......
 
With all the toys we got on this car, we figured the warranty was worth having.
 
I used the MazdaUSA website to check the inventory of all the local dealers (and to find out which one had the colors and spec I wanted) and I asked through that website to get quoted on several cars from different dealerships to find out what they were willing to offer the CX-9 for - all were below MSRP, but some more than others - all of them said they would match other prices quoted by the other dealers.
