Bought a beautiful glossy black grand touring AWD with the moonroof and nav and towing and remote start and all weather mats/cargo mats and a slew of other stuff. It was same one we test drove a few days before so the saleman (Eric) could familiarize us with all the features the CX-9 offered. (Yeah it didn't have the DVD player, but we already have a twin set of portables we move from car to car so this was a advantage for us.) From what I've seen there's not much else that can be added to the CX-9. Oh man even my wife loves the 20-inch tires! First. Rave reviews for the vehicle. Quiet and smooth as silk ride, but plenty of power when we want to play. See, we started out our new car buying shop this time test driving Jaguar S-Types and Caddy STS' so we were looking for something fun to drive (Zoom Zoom). But cramming our 8 year old into the back of one of those for long trips up and down the Eastern seaboard when he was used to us renting Lincoln Towncars and Caddys....it was going to be tough in those smaller(faster) cars. Add to that he upchucked in the back of our Civic on an extended trip last week - too cramped and too bumpy. So we stumbled onto the CX-9...and Eric. He was great. Lots of energy and enthusiam for his product. All of it backed up by knowlege. See...we knew nothing about Mazda. Never looked at one. Know no one that drives one. (We have a hugely successful Honda and Nissan dealership in town along with an old-school Caddy place that people love.) The Mazda dealership is about 30 min away so service is a bit of a hassle drive-wise. But I think we made a good decision. The deal? $6500 off MSRP, the option to buy extended warranty at dealer cost (according to consumer reports), ditto all the accessories at dealer cost. And even the option to buy EcoBlock leather protection + Resistall (a combo package) for the cost of 3 trips to the local detail shop. No pressure to "buy today" or anything. They advised we go do our research and get back to them on it. Start price was $41,567 Less the $6500 Plus 3% sales tax + extra dealer profit (Doc Fee) of $289 I wrote a check out for $36351 Note: My sympathies for the people who live in states that hate people who do not drive rollerskates. There is no "We hate SUV owner" sales tax in NC. Remember to write your local politicos with your displeasure. Also, in NC the dealer has to label "Doc fee", "Prep fee" etc clearly as "Extra Dealer Profit".  And - like I said - the options to buy some other goodies. For the folks hesitant to buy a dealer-added clearcoat...I would be too if it were $800-1200 that I keep reading about. But I'm lazy. Hate waxing and am willing to see what they can do for $295 - that's leather protection AND paint protection. And I've already found people on the net who collected on the paint protection when a Resistall tech came out and cleaned off overspray from a moronic neighbor's painting adventure. Sadly they couldn't give me much on my old 1999 CRV trade-in, but it's easy enough to sell that locally for cash and still make between 4-5K on it. So this will eventually work out: The New-Uber-loaded (Eric called it the "Mack-Daddy" and he was right) new CX-9 is going to cost me $31-32K. If you live anywhere near S. Pines N.C. give Bill Smith Mazda a shout. I got to meet the owner and he's as nice as they come. If you want to buy a car from friendly home-town people that know their stuff, are willing to deal and make you feel welcome in the process.....them's the folks.  Sorry for the long post. Just wanted you to get a sense of the fun we've had the past couple of days. THANK YOU Edmunds board moderators and all you folks posting on this board. We stumbled across a good deal and educated outselves in a matter of days with the help of this community. Yeah. I just looked out my window. I'm a little up this morning.....ZOOM ZOOM!

I currently get an offer for new 2008 Grand Touring AWD for about $28,000 with the following options: * TOWING PACKAGE (don't really need this) * BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM * ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS * ROOF RAILS * SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO * WHEEL LOCKS How does it look? Can anybody enlighten me about a difference between Touring and Grand Touring besides 20-inch wheels. I spent about 2 hours crawling the web and trying to figure it out. Mazda web site mixes standard features and options, so it's not informative. Also, I can't seem to find the price for blind-spot monitoring option on Edmunds. Anyone knows what is the price for such option? TIA

I've got an offer for an 08 GT FWD, with Nav, Moonroof, BSM, Tow with an MSRP of 39,330 for 36,552 plus taxes/fees. Then I could either do the Mazda financing (1.9 for 60 mos) or take another 2k off the price. From my earlier reading, this seemed to be a decent deal, but in light of some of these new numbers I am seeing, it doesn't look quite as good. Has everyone recently had the choice of taking some more money off OR the financing deal? How much lower do you think I can expect to get this for? I'll probably want to make a counter offer, but I'm just not sure what I could legitimately get it down to. Thanks for all the info on this forum, its great. |
