yeah, mainly looking for a GT. i like the seats and some of the features you get. much better then my mazda6 now. $2100 tax, ouchhhhhh
Well, I'll give you a precise run-down of what I got and paid according to my records...
2007 Mazda CX-7 GT FWD $26,300
Copper Red/Sand
Options:
1MC Moonroof/Bose $1,585
MRH Compass/Autodim/Homelink $250
Delivery $560
Subtotal: $28,695 sticker
Dealer Add-ons:
Window Tint $450
Desert Protection Package $1,500
Asking Price by the Dealer: $30,645
By Comparison's sake, Dealer invoice on the car was $26,797
The tint the dealer added was $150
The Protection Pkg added was $500
(I saw which company in town added each and how much they charged the dealer)
Meaning...the dealer's invoice after adding their stupid s*** was $27,447.
I paid $27,561 +TTL which I believe is fair since I would have gotten the windows tinted anyway. The dealer made $114 off of me which I deemed a good deal.
Could I have gone somewhere else in Utah or AZ or CA to buy a car w/o the paint sealant if I thought that $500 was going to kill me? Sure, but how much would a plane ticket or gas and food and perhaps not quite as good a deal as I got here added up to? I figured $500 +/- so I took it here which saved me time as well.
Its all up to you. There are a lot of things to think about before heading to the dealer or while you're sitting there. Don't let them rush you, its a lot of money.
Good luck!!
