#41 of 122 below sticker? by fastgst

Jun 21, 2012 (8:13 am)

will try to offer $1k below sticker for a grand touring full loaded, if they don't do it that's fine.. It's not worth the markup seriously. You can take the same money and buy a top trim CRV or Rav4 or other same sized SUV!

Fitzmall.com has them for $1000 to $1400 off sticker which is $4-500 under invoice.

Fitzgerald Mazda in Annapolis, MD only has 5 total CX-5's in stock, and no GT's. I viewed their inventory through my dealer system.
 
Fitzgerald Mazda in Frederick, MD only has 4 total and not GT's either.
 
With next to no inventory and hot demand, it is poor business to sell under invoice.
 
Here is their disclaimer: "Mazda Owner Loyalty FitzMall Internet and Value Prices include $500 Mazda Owner Loyalty Cash. Offer expires July 02, 2012. Please see dealer for details" Plus a processing fee.

Same issue with me. I drove CX-5 and CRV.
 
Yes heart is set on CX5 Touring FWD. But I am not stupid. I will buy CRV LX AWD for less than what CX-5 touring costs me. And I get almost same features in CRV LX plus I get the AWD. And it undoubtedly better power house than CX-5. Also checking for Nissan Rogue, getting 3k off MSRP. I think it would be money put to work better.
 
Is there a way to get 700$ off the 24690? Just feeling bad I wont buy CX-5 because of this, so want to know if there is a way. N California looks too hot to get me more than couple hundreds off. How does buying from out of state work?

I am fairly sure you can do it..
I tested them they were ready to deal sticker price, I think
What the heck is a big deal about $700 off $25k. Not a lot.
Don't be foolish and overpaid. It's not worth it. Insist they took off the inflated $95 wheel locks. It's only $55 on the website.

#46 of 122 CX-5 purchase experience in Seattle by booyah30

Jul 02, 2012 (9:49 am)

Got the CX5 GT AWD with tech package, rear bumper guard and wheel locks for invoice at $29,578 with S-plan pricing. E-plan pricing is about another $1300-1400 below the S-plan. Got an additional $500 off since I am a Mazda owner.
 
Three Seattle area dealers were willing to take the S-plan, although all of them stated in the beginning that they would sell the car to me at $32,578 at a substantial mark-up over the MSRP of $30,500 gradually making their way to S-plan pricing.
 
Total price paid with taxes = $29,078 + $595 (lease initiation fee) + $2022 (tax, tag, title and doc fees)
 
Leased the vehicle with $1K down for a 36 month term/12K miles for $464/month. Money factor = 0.00123 and residual value = 53%
 
Overall, decent car buying experience. Took me a day to research, call and negotiate with an initial set of 7 area dealerships. Shout out to Tim Hack at Lee Johnson Mazda for getting me in and out of the dealership in 2 hours; super easy going guy and no pressure tactics.
 
Only downsides were that I should have asked for a residual value of 55% as reported on this forum and the car had ~400 miles on it. However, the vehicle had the exact options I was looking for and I needed a car rightaway.
 
Advice to folks buying in the area would be to do their homework before walking into the dealership since I can imagine dealers pulling a fast one if you dont have all your numbers down.
 
I am on the market for another car, trying to decide between another CX5 or something else... Will wait a few weeks before getting the next vehicle.
 
Open to suggestions and feedback from the pros on how I did on this car and pointers for the next one. Thanks!

Hey Car man,
 
I'm wondering if you can help me out with what the residual and MF look like for a CX-5 GT FWD w/tech. I'm in the Houston area.
 
Btw, has anyone else noticed that the MSRP jumped 200 bucks (at least on the GT FWDs) on Mazda's website? Edmunds as well as their existing inventory still reflect the old price, but the new cars being added seem to all have the bump in MSRP.

Hello,
I am a salesperson at a mazda dealership. The cx-5 is in short supply--that's not salesman talk,,,it's a fact. My dealership does not mark up from msrp but we are asking for msrp on them right now. I wouldn't wait to see if the price drops, because mazda is marking up the car as we speak. It's a great car and beats the pants off the CRV which is outdated and ugly as sin.
Mazda kept the markup from Invoice only about $600 to pass the lower pricing to the customers. The dealer does not have any incentives when they sell a car so selling the car at or below invoice would just be stupid. Yes, we will wait until a customer sees the benefits of the mazda cx-5 and buys the car for more than invoice to sell one.

I would not wait to buy a grand touring. They are in short supply and will be for a very long time. Plus, mazda is marking up the cars as we speak. Paying MSRP for the car is a deal because most dealers are marking up from MSRP. The cx-5 will not be "blown out at invoice" for a very long time.

Spoken like a loyal Mazda sales person! Re: your comment vs the new CR-V, you are aware that CR rates the CR-V higher in a head to head comparison and I suspect its sales volume will far exceed the CX-5s!.... A shame that Mazda can't keep up with the demand. I'd consider the CX-5 (if I could actually find one... ) but will never pay sticker when there are so many other good choices out there (CR-V, RAV-4, Mitsu Outlander, Nissan Rogue, Chevy Equinox, Kia Sorento, Subie Forester, etc).
