I know right, but you can always refund the amount u didn't use in your extended warranty in case you sell your car coz I had my refund for my honda pilot that I traded in for the 5. You can refund some of your gap as well.

^Seriously? That's amazing!!! I don't know why we pay so much more for our cars here in Canada??? Our GT out the door was over $32K. 13% sales tax. sticker was $25,495.
It probably has something to do with why drugs are so much more here in the US. It all boils down to the fact that they need a certain profit margin to justify making a car. If they can only get rid of them for a certain low price in the US and other countries, then they make it up in countries where people are willing to pay more. Same thing with drugs. Countries like Canada limit what companies can charge so they turn around and murder the US on drug costs. It's all about profit margin. Personally, I'd take cheaper drugs and more expensive cars because the drug prices are out of control here.
We paid about that just for the provincial/federal sales tax (known as PST and GST), plus all the other fees all add up to around $3,000. Total taxes and fees are around $7,000 and that's not including that we bought extended warranty and rust proofing.4K for taxes and fees? Yikes!(smash)
You have a point about the drugs. I saw that Michael Moore movie and man, I'm glad I'm in Canada (thumb)It probably has something to do with why drugs are so much more here in the US.

Well, I think it's pretty rude on the part of the Canadian govt to do that when they know someone has to pay it if they won't and it turns out to be their neighbors. If you understand these types of economic policies and the consequences you tend to have little sympathy for the ones on the other end, even though it's not the people who made the decision. I think policies like this are most of the frictional agents between US and Canadian society. We're all just pawns really.
Deferred taxes? Normally you would have paid the base Illinois rate of 6.5% (or is it 6.25%?) when you bought the Mazda5 at the dealership though any city or county taxes dependent on where you live would have been deferred.no, not out the door; I've not paid taxes yet, because I bought in MO but will license it in IL; I have to wait for them to send me the title so I can go to the much hated DMV to transfer plates and then pay sales tax.
As far as paying cash goes, I had the money in the bank but Mazda was offering a 3 year, 0% interest financing offer with no money down, so I did that. Good thing too, this was February of '09, the money (in mutual funds) increased by about 30% or 40% when I pulled it out last September to use as a downpayment on a new house.

Hello All
2008 Sport Silver
Augusta,GA
5sp auto
48,000+ miles
$13,462 OTD
The only one we test drove that still had the emergency tranny release cover (square plastic piece next to the shifter) still in place. Also a S.Carolina (southern) car according carfax with no visible rust anywhere and I mean anywhere. I looked it over and under! Drove it for a weekend no strings attached.
1st thing I did was flush the tranny with Mobil1 ATF and changed the oil to Mobil1.

After shopping the Mazda 5 since it came out in the fall of 2005, (almost bought one back then), and following this forum since then, I finally decided it was time to get one, for number of reasons.
So, I picked up a 2010 Mazda 5 Sport w/auto trans and the popular equipment package the week before last from Kiefer Mazda in Eugene, OR., for what I feel was a very fair price (PM me for more info if you are interested).
All price quotes and negotiations were done over the internet with Sol Oxendine, the internet sales manager.
All phases of the deal were very straight-forward, no surprises or gotchas when I picked up the vehicle. In and out in 90 minutes. Even got a full tank of gas.
If you live in Oregon, in the Portland/Salem/Corvallis/Eugene/Roseburg/I-5 corridor, or over at the coast, and are shopping for a Mazda 5, you might want to drop an email to Sol, the internet sales manager. Just Google the dealership name, and look on the Company Info/Team web page to find his email address and phone number.
First mods were the 6 stubby antenna from the Dodge Journey for $6.50 (the stock one did not like my garage door when backing out), and some Yakima roof racks using the #11 landing pads and the regular control towers. Information on both of these items was covered in various posts on this forum, so many thanks to the pioneers over the last 4 years who figured this stuff out.
The next accessory will be a 3rd key FOB from some eBay seller, then get the new flip key cut at a local building supply store and then see if I can do the FOB programming (also covered in various posts, but there seems to be some confusion on how its done). I also got a plain key made by a local locksmith so I dont have to carry the FOB around while bicycle riding. It only opens the door, but the FOB will be stashed in the car.
So far I like the car very much, as it replaced a 1992 Dodge Colt Vista (AKA a Mitsubishi Expo LRV, an early 'mini-mini van), which I purchased new in 1992. There have been some posts on this forum comparing the 2 cars, and that is why I purchased the M5, as it is about as close to that type of car built today, but of course, being brand new, has more bells and whistles.

^^^ And the title of the thread is...?
I guess he feels revealing the price paid is too personal.
Well done
Thank you sir...and thanks for the recommendation of buying new instead of spending $14,500 on a used one.
I feel A LOT better about spending $18,500 on a brand new car than I would've if I had gotten the used one...A LOT better(cabpatch)
