    The End is Here!

    I leased the car through Mazda American Credit but the financial arm behind Mazda Credit at the time was Cab East LLC (at least that's my understanding). At some point since I leased, Mazda Credit changed their financing arm to something like Chase or Citi? When I talk to the Mazda Credit...

    The End is Here!

    Force 1 ... separate question ... you mentioned you had looked at the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee I think ... I saw you went with the Q7. What did you think about the Cherokee?

    The End is Here!

    Thule rack has been considered and is a logical next step! Lab, not Marmaduke ... but like I said, my wife brings everything but the kitchen sink. Oh yeah, I do bring my ice hockey gear with me usually too and that takes up a fair chunk of room. Long term, I know it's clearly cheaper to buy...

    The End is Here!

    We think we need something bigger. Traveling with a dog and one child (maybe two someday) is a bit cramped in the CX-9 (at least the way my wife packs it is!). The best option we've considered is the Nissan Armada but ~$50k for a fully loaded armada vs. $22k for the CX-9 just doesn't make...

    The End is Here!

    The lease is up on my 2008 CX-9 GT (pretty much fully loaded ex-blind spot monitoring ... has NAVI & sunroof, not rear ent.). Anyway, for lack of a better option at this point I'm strongly considering buying it off lease. We love the car, the residual seems fair, and right now I just can't...

    Another Ipod question? The OEM accessory

    Dealer picked up the car at my office the next day and took it back to his shop ... a wire had been disconnected while installing the SIRIUS and it rendered my AM/FM antenna useless. Easy fix as I suspected. The dealer topped off the gas tank, dropped it back off and now I'm just making sure...

    Another Ipod question? The OEM accessory

    I went back & forth with my dealer about this NAV/SIRIUS/Aux issue and they maintained it wasn't possible. I even asked them to contact Dwayne at Wayne Mazda in NJ to figure it out! (based on an earlier post) I settled for just SIRIUS & NAV since I really don't use an iPod anyway so it didn't...

    What did you pay for your 08 CX-9

    Does the $595 aquisition fee get included in the MSRP for calculating your depreciation/residual on a lease?

    All Weather Floor Mats

    POSTED THIS TOO SOON ... SEE "the elusive mat" THREAD ... GG Bailey looks like the way to go! I noticed in a photo that the cargo mat only covers the piece when third row seats are up ... not worth it in my mind ... anyone that has a viable alternative, please let us know!

    What did you pay for your 08 CX-9

    sorry ... 36 mos, 15K miles 52% residual 0.00132 money factor I have been haggling over this Doc fee for a couple of days but the guy won't budge ... silly when I see so much latitude in this fee reading all of these posts. Seems like my salesman is not moving on anything since I've got the...

    What did you pay for your 08 CX-9

    yes, the $590 includes ~6.3% tax I didn't mention that my pymt will also include $38 of property tax each month ... saves me from having to pay the semi-annual bill from the city, plus since I live in a high rate city I get the benefit of them using a statewide property tax rate. So my pymt...

    Blind Spot Monitor

    My dealer is offering me a CX-9 GT with BSM as we speak ... it's not on his lot so I can't say that I've seen the thing but he told me it was at another dealer in the area (I live in Connecticut so it could be anywhere in New England actually). He also had a binder full of invoices for cars...

    What did you pay for your 08 CX-9

    Haven't committed to buying anything yet but I have a dealer searching for a Stormy Blue GT with the options we want. Without even negotiating anything he quoted me invoice + $950 on a 36 month/15K lease deal. When we find the right car it seems like I should be able to get close to invoice...

    CX-9 vs. Saturn Outlook (or others)

    CX-7=LOVE: not sure what kind it was ... it was done by a local CT installer that the dealer worked with. Based on what I saw though I tend to agree ... leaving some of the thinner trim out might have made it look better. Malmskov: so far two salesmen have not taken the time to even mention...

    CX-9 vs. Saturn Outlook (or others)

    I really appreciate everyone's input ... thanks! After test driving the Enclave, Outlook & CX-9 again yesterday (with my fiance this time) we are heavily leaning towards the CX-9. Jabba's point about the Outlook transmission was perhaps the biggest drawback in my mind. I was driving an '07...

    CX-9 vs. Saturn Outlook (or others)

    Hi All, I'm new to this forum ... time will tell whether I stick around ... your advice could be a big factor too! Thanks in advance! I am currently evaluating several options for my new car including the Mazda CX-9, Saturn Outlook, Honda Ridgeline, Chevy Avalanche, Lincoln MKX, etc. Since I...
