First time car owner here. Got a new 2020 CX-5 Touring w/ Touring Preferred Package, AWD, Machine Gray exterior and black leatherette interior. $26,964 vehicle price + $500 dealer fee (Maryland), + Virginia Tax/title/tags put me on the road at $28,970. Seems like a pretty similar price to what someone got a few weeks ago, roughly 13% below MSRP for the package and options if I did my math right.
Bought my GT with PP, Sonic Silver, FWD, no trade.$29,715, TTL $184, total 29,906. With tax of $1789, out the door $31, 695. Originally I thought I did pretty good, not too sure about that now. On the upside, boy I do like this vehicle!
Bought a Soul Red + touring AWD + preferred package
MSRP: $31,415
Bought it down to $27,000 OTD (Including all the things)
Note: I did get a $1,000 healthcare rebate.
They will come down—- just stick to a price and don’t budge.View attachment 225859

They quoted 28k with TTL and dealership fee. Then knocked off 1,000. So it was 25k + 799 dealership fee plus 1200 TTL= 27K.
He did tell me that they are selling for a loss (which is a comforting lie IMHO)

As I was getting ready to sell my '14 CX-5 GT I was going through my maintenance records and found the original bill of sale. After factoring in 7 years of inflation, I only spent $75 more for my '20 Signature. The value we're getting in these new CX-5's is nothing short of amazing.
I'm going to push back. That's not amazing, that's expected.
$1 in 2014 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1.09 in 2020. Also, cars have not gone up at the inflation total of 1.09
Base models MSRP then and now
CRV - 1.05 more in 2020 than 2014
RAV4 1.05 more in 2020 than 2014
MSRP today on a Signature is about $38,000, at 1.09 that would equate to $34,862 in 2014. I really hope you didn't pay 34,862 for your GT in 2014.
I realize that you stated 'what you spent', but the number don't bear out what you're saying
And I'll go further, a 2014 CR-V probably has a higher resale value than a CX-5. Not debating which is a better car, just which is a better value
