My lowest quote was from Temecula Mazda (although I didn't purchase from them)...you may want to give them a try if you haven't already.
Yes, I'm sad to see the suede inserts as well...looks nice (red stitching!) but I too am worried about their longetivity...although the wife mentioned that...
i paid 30250 otd for a new 2014 touring. that includes 9% sales tax. could've gotten a bit cheaper (1 dealership's first otd quote was for 29800) but this place had the color combo i wanted.
it looks like mazda is offering at least 4500 off in rebates for the cx9 right now. keep that in...
