Factory Order or Dealer Lot Purchase

I would think with the 2017 models not being too far out they'd be
starting to discount the pricing for the 2016 a little more.

Seriously? Given that we're still in 2015, I'd be curious about your definition of "not too far out".

Howdy Ulrich,

So............... when did you buy your "2016" ?????

I think the 2016 Models came out in Feb/Mar 2015, so
that's only 6 months or so away.

I wouldn't be surprised considering the '16s started showing up in December '14 IIRC.. I think the '15's started showing up around the same time or 1/14.

'16 CX-5's started showing up at Mazda dealers in early to mid February of 2015.

I was thinking of the '16 model showing up at the auto show in late November '14. Maybe by late fall we will know if any additional options are planned for the '17 models?

I got a quote from a dealer on a 2016 CX5 with a $34,000 MSRP. The dealer is offering it for $32,120 which INCLUDES the $500 owner loyalty rebate. This DOES NOT include tax, title or doc fees.

Should I keep pushing for a lower price?

Did you look at the prices thread here on this forum?

Looks like some people got $2k-$3k below MSRP so my price is right at the cusp of $2k below. I can try and fight for another $500 or so.

Stupid doc fee is $500 which is very high.

Are there other dealers in your area to play against this dealer?

Not really, the other Mazda dealers are higher in price.

Called the dealer and they said that the CX5 is still in production but they have no way of contacting Japan and finding out WHERE it is on the assembly line and WHEN it will be ready to ship.

That seems weird that a dealership cannot get notification of the cars progress in Japan. A phonecall or email should be able to find out.

Dealer said my car went from scheduled to "produced" so I am assuming it's ready to ship across the ocean.

How many weeks before it arrives at port in LA?

Normally it takes about 2~3 weeks from Japan to LA once your new CX-5 got loaded on the ship. If you don't have any port installed options, it can get loaded on the truck heading to your dealership within a week after the car arrives the Long Beach assuming the partial strike from the port workers have ended. In any event the dealer has capability to check the arrival date of the ship, when does the CX-5 get loaded on the truck, and when does the truck arrive the dealership.

When did you place the order? And were you not be able to find a CX-5 you want in the inventories at the port of entry and on the water?

None of the built vehicles had the color and options I wanted. Soul Red with parchment interior, AWD, GT, i-ActivSense, etc. Most were FWD and the only AWD they had were missing the Soul Red and Parchment interior, the rest were missing the i-ActivSense option.

OK. Now at least you' get a brand new CX-5 exactly what you want with single digit miles on it! Just takes a bit more time.
