Replying to: redline122 (Jan 10, 2008 12:52 pm) Where did you get this deal? I'm interested in pretty much the same exact model just different color. Any contact information you can give so I can give them a jingle myself? Thanks!

Replying to: redline122 (Jan 10, 2008 9:48 pm) I have a couple other questions. what is the cap cost reduction? Do dealers offer rebates always which I saw with yours? Do i always have to pay an acquisition fee even if the car is on the lot? or is that the destination charge? where do i find the invoice number for the car i want ? Do i go in and say i'm buying it vs. leasing first so we decide on a price first? invoice or below? Then say i want to lease? what are hidden costs? thanks so much! LL

Replying to: lexus350 (Jan 16, 2008 11:42 pm) I went to the only dealership in Irvine. I would recommend that you speak with the sales manager. Like many other dealerships, the best time to buy is towards the end of the month. Hope this helps. |

Replying to: cx9buyer (Jan 17, 2008 7:16 am) Definition of Cap Cost and Cap Cost Reduction - Read this first It's always good to ask about what rebates are available in either a lease or purchase. The acquisition fee is typically the fee for the leasing/finance bank to "acquire" the vehicle from the dealership. You are typically obligated to pay for this or have it calculated into the cap cost. Heck, I suppose you can always ask to see if they would be willing to pay the acquisition fee. Most of the time the dealer may say "no"; then you can ask if they would be willing to pay for a portion of the acquisition fee and again you MAY get a "No" answer. Again the point is to always ask. This goes for any other fees, yes, even the license fee that you pay to the state. Same philosophy goes for the "destination charge". You can find the "invoice price" on Edmunds or Consumer Reports (new car buying guide/report, typically $12/car). I found the CR numbers to be pretty close to the dealer invoice (maybe a difference within a $100). I would negotiate below the bottom line prices that either of these resources give as a starting point. Setting the price should be set regardless of lease or purchase. I go in saying that I would consider all options and that setting the price has nothing to do with whether I buy all-cash, finance to own, or lease to borrow. Typically, setting the price with the dealer FIRST. Once the best price is set, then you start to talk numbers regarding financing or leasing. For either leasing or financing, you can ask up front BEFORE they run your credit, for tier-0 (best credit), tier-1 (good credit), tier-2 (some blemishes on your credit). You can even ask this information over the phone BEFORE you even go to any dealer. - different dealers MAY have different rates. Just ask to speak with the finance manager and they should be able to give you all the pertinent data points. What are those data points??? For financing, "What are the interest rates for tier-0, 1 and 2?" and "Any additional incentives for purchasing a FWD CX-9???" For leasing, "What are your money factors (lease equivalent of an interest rate) for tier-0, 1, and 2?" and "Any additional incentives in leasing a FWD CX-9?" Heck, if you ask these questions and set your bottom line price, you can determine whether or not you can afford the vehicle BEFORE you even set foot into the dealership... Hidden costs can vary. Some hidden costs I find are the over-priced dealer add-ons. I really like chrome wheels on the CX-9. They were asking $1250 for chrome, they came down to $550. On their computerized deal sheet, have them explain to you each and every line item so you know exactly where each dollar you are giving them is truly going towards. I spent about 20 minutes just walking down the deal sheet so that I don't leave not feeling like I spent money on some line item that I have no idea of what it truly is. Hope this helps. |

I wanted to share the deal I just signed. Hope I did OK. Dealer: Wayne Mazda of NJ Model: CX-9 Touring AWD Options: Moonroof/Bose Package MSRP: $35,360 Adjusted Cap Cost: $31,232 Residual Value: $22,630 (64%) Money Factor: 0.00101 Term: 27 months Sales Tax: 7% Total Monthly Payment: $399 Total due at signing: $1,250 I don't have the breakdown of what's included in the $1,250 due at signing yet. I'll have that when I pick up the car. The dealer is also picking up the remaining two payments on my current lease $370 a month so in theory one could probably do a bit better than what I did (i.e. lower adjusted cap cost). Thanks to everyone for posting their info. |
