Not all dealers are on the Costco plan, but it's a good way to buy a CX5 if your dealer is on that list. Keep in mind that there isn't a lot of markup from invoice to msrp, but right now anyway, $300 over invoice is a good deal on a CX5.
What kind of experience has anyone had using other buying services? I have access to AutoSMART through my credit union and AAA has a program that is "powered" by TrueCar. Has anyone else used either of these?
For a BMW X6 SUV, cheapest in the range is around $73K list price. The cheapest Ford Kuga SUV is around $34K list. Bear in mind that neither of these will have anywhere near the spec of the CX-5 (e.g. adding navigation to the Kuga adds $2K, parking sensors another $700).$43k?! I don't think the CX is worth $30k, let alone $40+! What do BMW's go for up there??
purchased mine on 6/17 in Northern CA. Liquid silver sport, manual transmission. $21,490 invoice (w/destination fee) with rear bumper guard, cargo mat, floor mats, and wheel locks at no extra charge. Paid about $650 additional for cargo cover & had dealer install fog lights.
The vehicle I bought was on their lot for less than a week. There was also a Metro Gray manual when I went in to buy. Last weekend I went in & picked it up after the fog lights were installed & the Metro Gray is already gone too!
Just picked up a stormy blue FWD touring with tech/bose pkgs for invoice! $26,066 + TTL ($28175 OTD in CA.). I had been checking Mazdausa.com for this configuration for weeks in either stormy blue or zeal red. I originally discounted the dark blue because of the sand interior, but then saw it and actually liked the dark/light mix. My first Mazda and my first light interior. I started with Costco pricing that was $400 over invoice, then checked with USAA pricing (it randomly changes). Another dealer showed their price for USAA at invoice and the dealer who had the stormy blue agreed to match it, they weren't even an USAA/Zag dealer!
P.S. Thanks to everyone for all the info on this site, I've been reading it weekly to keep up to date.
So you paid invoice? Pretty good with all the accessories...Which dealer was this and did you go through any Costco/Truecar program?
What's your dealer and car salesman?

Whoops! I paid MSRP (not invoice) of $21,490. And that was from the dealer in Dublin, CA.
In the Toronto area. Deal is not finalized but probably will be this weekend.
It's the GX (or "Sport" in the USA) with 6-spd manual. It's as basic as they come, including the steel wheels (to be replaced soon with after-market). With all taxes and fees it works out to $28K. That's ~$550 off the MSRP and includes tint for ~$200. We are also getting the cargo cover (~$250) included at no-charge.
The freight and PDI at $1895 and taxes of 13% (on-top of everything, even the damn freight) are really killing the total price. The discounted price of the car prior to any fees/taxes works out to ~$22,450.
I know right... same stuff in Quebec (but worse).
I'm so jealous of people in Alberta and their 5% sales tax
I asked in the picture thread what the monochrome radio looked like, is it the same as the color but black and white?
The sport interior is perfect to me except I'd leather wrap the wheel and get a leather shift knob.
