    Mazda5: Prices paid and related questions

    Not sure if it's too late now -- the dealer I talked to was willing to sell the 72/120k at 1050, though I went for 160k later for 1150.

    Mazda5: Prices paid and related questions

    I haven't no idea about the luxury package. But for a GT AT the invoice price is $1681 below the MSRP, according to carcostcanada. Paying cash you get 3K factory rebate or $750 if go for financing.

    Draw-tite hitch install

    Just ordered a hitch yesterday. Did some research and it seemed Draw-tite and hidden hitch, though use different part #, always share the same installation instruction.

    Thank you so much for the information, Junr. There are 3 black rubber caps behind the taillight housing, as shown in the attached pic. Which one did you use to drill the hole to let the wires pass through? or the white one used by the factory wires? Also how's the performance of the sensor...

    Replacement Headlight bulb frustration: Sylvania Silverstar

    I see. Thanks a lot for the information. HID quite tempts me but it's not available in Canada as an factory option for M5. I was thinking about an aftermarket conversion kit but worried about getting a ticket, on top of the high initial cost. Yeah it makes sense that HID is a good fit for M5...
