Just bought a new 2019 Signature, Deep Crystal Blue
MSRP: $37,935
Negotiated price: $35241
Loyalty rebate: $750
Positive equity from lease: $315 (I had only put on 20k miles on my lease to trade in, so the dealer bought it rather than returning it to Mazda Capital Services)
Effective price of the car: $34,176
Plus:
$344 fees to state
$749 doc fee (to dealer)
$2125 sales tax
$651 dent/ding and wheel coverage (I live in the city, accrued about $800 in ding damage on my 2016 CX-5 lease in the three years I had it)
How did I do?
