ouch!

that sounds like a very good price. i'm at $29,236 here in pittsburgh. trying for a better deal. what dealership? i would drive to VA to save a grand. any rebates that you quaified for at that price? loyalty/military?

who needs a stinking manual? (silly)

i stopped to look at the new rougue friday night - mainly to see the interior. i didn't drive it. the salesperson told me they only had one on the lot because "nissan has slowed production for some reason". to me that was a big red flag indicating there may be a big problem with the ar that...

if you are certain you are not going to buy it at the end, no. the only standard feature that was added for 2015 was the advanced keyless entry on the touring and GT.

at this point, the 1st year depreciation is already done in respect to trading or selling the car when you are done with it. same story if it is totaled. if you buy a 2014 now, you're starting in on year 2 for depreciation. just google 'cost of ownership mazda cx-5'. 2014/2014.5 seems to be...

if you like the car better than anything else, switch out the headunit. i would go so far as to use it a negotiating point at purchase. get a couple written estimates on the cost to switch it, then show it to the dealer. just don't go crazy with the new headunit, it should be of comparable...

did you at least get a kiss before they...

2015s are out now. i'm being told 1000 off MSRP in my area for a GT AWD. i would need about a 5000 discount to consider a 2014 model.

i think they respect you more when you do this. saves them time. first thing i say to the finance guy is 'no extras'. i'm in and out in 10 minutes.

does your 2014.5 have the tech package? did you compare the price to a 2015?

go to autozone. they loan tools. ask nicely, and they may just do it for you while you wait.

for a 2014, that is not a very good deal. run truecar for a 2015 and see what the difference is. remember, when you go to trade it later, you will have an extra year of depreciation deducted from the tradein value. that's at least 15%.

take a look at truecar prices differ by area. you can see the low, avg and high prices paid in your area. are you looking at a 2014? 2015? FWD, AWD? also, i see you posted the sales tax (helpful), but you might get better comments if you post the prices before any extras like TTL.

all true. there is no excuse to ignore this problem.

i test drove the outback 3.6 limited. it is a bit more expensive, but it does have a v6. i test drove the 4 cylinder, it felt very under-powered. the car felt very sturdy and was nice to drive. it is still in the running for me.

the CX-5's problems seem minor after i did research on the new jeep cherokee. quite a few posters are having to have their transmissions replaced on a weeks old vehicle. roughly 30% of the people responding to a poll reported some type of tranny trouble (a lot of those just needed a software...

if they haven't fixed it by now, i doubt they are going to.

you got good advice. one thing i will add, you'll likely get the best price the last day of the month or last day of their quarter when they are trying to make their numbers.

agreed. it's mainly a case of screen envy. i have one of the original garmins, bought in the late 1990s, with the small screen. it still works (i keep it in my 2nd car). the only reason i have a 6" screen garmin now is i wanted voice recognition. the size is very adequate.
