True. Are there any fees other than TT&L that are "legitimate" dealer fees these days, or are they all "padding?"

They gave me an OTD price of $42,515, about $300 more than the DMV calculator based on my address. I assume they're padding in DOC fees, dealer prep, or something? If I do this deal, the only way I'm heading to the dealer is if they will give me the cashier's check amount before I set foot on...

Quote was from Putnam Mazda in Burlingame. Price was before tax & DMV

Just got a price quote on 2018 CX-9 Signature in machine gray fo $38,688 + sales tax and dmv from a dealer that has about 14 of these on the lot in machine gray alone. Seems like a damn good price. Anyone beat this deal?

My dilemma is that I'm sure there are times when the car will get filthy and the weather won't be conducive to washing it myself late Sunday afternoon, or trying to juggle priorities with a 9 month old baby and I'll probably run it through the wash (no old-style bristle brushes, only foam...

In process of selecting a paint color prior to purchase. Love the machine gray color, but worried about maintenance. I currently have a black car and it looks like crap from 10 years of daily driving. Interested in hearing from owners as to whether it shows swirls easily. I don't want a high...

Thanks for sharing. Did that price include any promotional incentives?

Peter, glad you are happy with your purchase and the deal you got. One thing to consider is that, in Fresno, there isn't nearly as much dealer competition as up here in the Bay Area (only two dealers.) From a supply standpoint, there is nothing short of a glut of CX-9s on lots up here at the...

KBB has the "fair purchase price" of a 2017 CX-9 signature at $41,383 including destination and $1,500 rebate, which means there should definitely be room to go even lower. Anyone with recent transactions under this price (before tax + license)?

I am in the market for a 2017 CX-9 Signature, but want to wait until I can get it at a rock bottom price. Does anyone have advice as to when would be the best time to buy? Factory incentives are only at $1,500 right now... I suspect they'll go much higher later in the year ($4,000-ish). Any...

I'm in Northern California. What dealer did you buy from, if you wouldn't mind sharing?

I would have the front end and mirrors wrapped with paint protection film, and get the rest of the car protected OptiCoat or similar. Black is a disaster to keep looking good. I found this out when I bought my first (and last) black car. They look beautiful when in pristine condition, but next...

Looks like navigation is available on any trim level as an accessory upgrade. https://www.mazdausa.com/vehicles/cx-5/accessories

FYI, can now build and configure the 2017 CX-5 @ Mazda https://www.mazdausa.com/shopping-tools/build-and-price/cx-5

I've read some of the reports, as I am planning on buying the Skyactiv-D myself when it becomes available in the U.S. in the fall. I'm not even a Mazda owner at this point and have never owned one. From my perspective, there is zero evidence that the 2.2 liter diesel engine is less reliable...

Another difference between Canada and U.S. 2017 versions is the color choices. Canada will have Titanium Flash Mica but not Eternal Blue Mica as color options, while the U.S. will have Eternal Blue Mica as an option but not Titanium Flash Mica. Strange.

Call it a conspiracy theory, but I've long suspected that some people who post on car forums are paid social media shills for other automakers, who intentionally attempt to affect buyer confidence in favor of competing brands. They know that a lot of people who are doing research on cars read...
