First time Mazda owner, and enjoying our new car! We bought our CX-5 on December 29 at Oak Tree Mazda (San Jose, CA). Near end of month and end of year, the dealers were offering their best offers almost out the gate. I did my initial negotiating via email with about 4 serious offers, and only went in to the dealer for the purchase. The entire process from when I sent my first email to driving home with our new car took 4 days!
Our car: 2016 CX-5 GT AWD with Tech and I-Active packages. Titanium Flash with Black interior. During the email negotiations got the dealer to throw in the all-weather floor mats.
MSRP: $33,430
Negotiated Price: $30,798 (Another dealer was willing to beat that by $500, but they did not have the color combination we were set on)
Discount: $2,632
Sales Tax: $2,701.83
Doc Fee: $80
Other Fees: $348.70
Price OTD: $33,928.53
Trade-in: $6,000 (2008 BMW 328i Coupe with 110,000 miles......but there was some serious issue with the transmission, so we were more than happy to give it up for $6K when KBB gave a price of about $7K for a good condition car)
We could have got another $500 off by going with the standard financing option, but as we decided not to pay it off in one go, we went with their 0% for 36 months promotional offer (which we qualified for).
We could have haggled harder and threatened to walk, but we were happy with the offer, and more importantly, we knew the condition of our BMW was not good at all, so we didn't want to drive it back home.
