That’s all that counts!Glad you were able to find the car you wanted!

For all the talk about new car shortages:My local Mazda, Hyundai, and Nissan dealers seem relatively well-stocked, but the Ford, Honda, and Chevrolet dealers literally look like they're out of business. Don't let that look fool ya, though - they're reeling in money.
It hurts if you don't have anything to trade in and just need to add a new car.As for selling cars at MSRP or above, should it make a difference to you if you get $0 off sticker but $3000 more in trade vs. last year or getting $3000 off sticker and $3000 less in trade? Nope. It does to the dealer, though, as they will still mark up the trade and get the windfall selling new at MSRP.
You should provide more info.I was given $1400 off msrp and didn't really even have to negotiate. Of course it seems that CX-5 signatures are everywhere.
I am in the market (but I certainly can wait for a few months).
My son is taking one of my Mazdas to college.
One dealer offered me MSRP for a GT-R or Signature. (Where I bought two Mazdas from)
The other said, MSRP+$1k. (no way I am paying that much.)
This is in SF Bay Area.
Guess I will wait for a 2022. (facelift? new model?)
Last time I paid near MSRP was for a 2001 Honda Odyssey.
The demand was so high. I was lucky to find one for MSRP+$500.
One dealer near me ask for MSRP+$1500.
I told him I got a quote for +$500 from another dealer 30 miles away.
He called me a liar.
Crazy time.
There's a good chance chip shortages will be like the Fed's "transitory" inflation, lasting longer than rosy projections.Crazy time indeed. I can't believe dealers are selling non-limited Mazdas for prices at, or higher than, MSRP.
Hopefully it doesn't last for much longer.
I'm going to disagree. The cost of a car is the same if you have a trade in or not, save for the tax difference. There's no difference if I have a trade for which he's going to give $5,000 or if I just hand him $5,000. It's still the same $5,000 down he's getting from meIt hurts if you don't have anything to trade in and just need to add a new car.
Having a vehicle to trade, in these times, will help to offset the "market adjustment" car dealers are starting to implement. Usually best to avoid those dealers. but you won't be seeing the great deals people were seeing prior to the last few months. It's also a great idea to shop your trade around online.I'm going to disagree. The cost of a car is the same if you have a trade in or not, save for the tax difference.

What are you looking for ? 2021 CX-5 Signature, MSRP was $40,445, had $1000 of useless crap like all weather floor mats, illuminated door sills, bumper appliques, etc. I paid $39k for the car and $41k out the door in NC. I did it because it was the only blue one anywhere near me. I did the deal over text and it wasn't tough. I am sure someone better at negotiating could have done better, but in this market that was good enough for me.You should provide more info.
Looking for the detail spelled out throughout the thread. Things like, was there a trade-in involved? Any dealer added options? Was a warranty purchased? You know, the things that make your deal more comparable.What are you looking for ? 2021 CX-5 Signature, MSRP was $40,445, had $1000 of useless crap like all weather floor mats, illuminated door sills, bumper appliques, etc. I paid $39k for the car and $41k out the door in NC.

Hi, I am in the Bay Area too. I am not getting anywhere close to MSRP and am way above that figure despite the lot having over 30 CX-5s on hand.Do you mind sharing details of the dealer you are working with?
