Im in the middle of an over-night test drive on a 2018 CX-9 GT AWD (metal gray/black). It's was a dealer driven car with 5500 miles on it. Sold as new so full factory warranty from today and will extend the mileage to 41k miles. Current negotiated deal is $34,675 before fees but I don't pay sales tax as a Montana resident so just a doc fee blah blah for another $400.00. They are showing me 18k for my 2016 CX-5 GT AWD and that's fair. They tried to close me today by saying the employee discount expires tonight and that was where they were getting some of the discount from. I'll let them know tomorrow. Price fair. I may get further but the bottom line is is it worth another 16k to drive a slightly used CX-9 over a 2016 CX-5? Its a bigger more solid car for sure. Wife drove it and liked it partially because with a few exceptions it is the same car inside other than space. That's one of the things I don't like but I never dis-liked the CX-5 interior. Just a little small.
So is this a good way to go? Dealer car... 5500 miles. The color I want etc for a substantial discount over a new 2019. I know vented seats are great but never used them all that much unless it was very hot out. The 360 camera on the 2019 is not well received and they can reboot Apple car play and make the head unit the same as a 2019. I do like the new gauge cluster on the 2019 but is it worth another 6-7 grand. Not sure.
That sounds like a very good deal. I like CarPlay and if they add that, I would go for it.
