Exactly . Pedestrians as well as other motorists need to know if you can see them.

2016 CX-5 infotainment screen replaced.

Apparently, the OP drives nearly 40,000 miles a year and routinely had his local dealer service the car with oil changes, new tires, transmission service etc... Now at 75,000 the dealer is recommending appropriate services for the mileage, so why not allow the dealer to continue to get the OP's...

Here in the SF Bay Area the Mazda USA web site inventory matches up exactly with the local dealer inventory.

Yes, those prices are reasonable and you should treat your Mazda 6 well. Just do it :)

Exactly.

Yes, for example in my State the $7.25% , when adding local county tax, becomes $=8.5%. Most locations have a car buyer tax obligation composed of State plus local. And the bottom line difference (from location to location) , when discussing the purchase of a CX-5, averages about $375.

Not really. For example, some buyers (mistakenly) think they got a good deal because they look at their dealer's "starting price" (discount from MSRP). But the reality is that the dealer may be adding fees to the final price which favors the dealer (not the car buyer). Here in this thread there...

New Hampshire, Delaware, Oregon, Alaska, and Montana are the States with no sales tax. How many buyers in this thread are from those States ? Again, for practical purposes, the average difference in sales tax owed is about $375.

I understand that (in this thread) there are some buyers who have listed dealer fees which other buyers did not pay. The assortment of fee types some dealers charge but others do not is precisely why out the door (OTD) pricing is the most sensible number for this thread. It's not perfect...

Not really. In addition to tax and license there are other fees dealers may or may not be adding to the final out the door price of the vehicle. And, as I wrote earlier , the difference in taxes from one location to the next is a range of about $200 to $700, which is a relatively insignificant...

From a business perspective, it's o.k. if Mazda loses some customers to luxury brands. What makes the best sense is that Maza establishes/maintains a position as a "good car design-driving-reliability" brand at a compelling price point. I understand Mazda is trying to retain old customers and...

I think too expensive for most buyers. Instead of expanding trim levels (including higher price points), Mazda should probably stick to their former strategy, which was smart design , decent power with great handling vehicles, at relatively low prices. Pursuing the "luxury market" is not...

Yes, I understand some/most participants on this thread want to read about some sort of price before tax/license. To me this does not make good sense. Specifically, if I live in an 8.5% tax city and someone else lives in a 6% tax city, while another guy lives in a 10% city...... so what ? The...

As I previously wrote, the up charge for AWD or PP seems to be the same. At least the dealer where I purchased my CX-5 was charging the same price for either a AWD or a PP CX-5. I chose the AWD because that feature-function appealed to me more than PP's feature-function.

Why would I want to know the price of a car before tax, license , and, or, any fees the dealer may charge ? In my lifetime I've purchased a dozen cars and each time discussed only out the door (OTD) pricing. It's much simpler that way. Within the past few weeks I've purchased both a 2019 CX-5...
