What prices are you paying for a new CX9?
- Thread starter rodolan
- Start date
I think those people were very patient as well. If you go to a dealer and basically tell the saleswimp you are ready to seal the deal, and walk away if he won't come down, and don't settle for any less, it is really amazing how far they will go down just to get a sale, with the economy as it is.
I'm shopping an 11 GT right now with bose, roof, power gate, backup cam, no starter, sticker 38k and can get them to 33k easy, I'm wondering what anyone one else is seeing now and what your deal was. This is in Mass just outside boston. Pretty much 5k off anything with no trade but couldn't get the 0%. Anyone getting the 5k off plus the 0%. If so, where?
I just bought the CX-9 Grand Touring with nav this week. I have a close friend who is one of the managers at the dealership where I bought, and he gave me whatever the equivalent to their "friends and family" plan is. He showed me the dealer invoice which was roughly $36k. I paid $35,500 and the MSRP was over $41k in my area (TN). Add in 0% apr and the deal is just too good to pass up. Also, a lot of dealers have internet coupons worth $250 right now. Check that out...every bit helps.
Hmmmm
Went in today (Sat) to try to purchase a CX-9 fron a local dealership and got a bit of a runaround. I thought I had done my homework on a GT AWD.
They claimed issues with their mazda site and couldn't come up with a car with the options we wanted due to problems with mazda's site. They offered a used (dealer) CX-9 with the right options for a whole $1500 off MSRP but wouldn't extend 0% financing since it had over 6k miles on it.
MSRP for the config we wanted was about 41k US. They wanted to give me a "deal" for $39.5 with 0% financing. Told them that was about 3k more than the average person was paying. They gave me a story about how the 0% financing wouldn't give them the wiggle room to come down on price. I said "okay, I'll finance it myself" - they said okay, maybe another $800-$1000 off. I told them to call me Monday with some actual cars, not some theoretical car with a theoretical price.
So, I'm assuming the 0% story is BS (as likely was the unable to access their dealer site). Anyone recommend the best place to submit a config for dealers to bid? I used edm***s.com, but wasn't sure if I should go wider.
Thanks

For reference we bought our 2008 GT which was loaded up with everything but nav and DVD (it has the power moonroof) in August of 2008. It was a "new" car but had 5,000 miles put on it by the owner of the dealership. IIRC we paid 31,000. We arranged our own financing.
I find the best way to buy a new car is do your shoping on-line. Find several local dealers with cars with the same basic equipment and ask for an internet quote. You then will be dealing with the fleet or internet sales dept. which is far better than dealing with the rookies that pick up people walking in off the street to a dealership. Also you can haggle and pit them against each other for the best price before you even both setting foot in the dealership. I only go to the dealer to pick up the car after the price has been agreed to ahead of time. From a general strategy standpoint, it's good to start the process around mid month and get ready to close a deal the last few days of a month - especially if it is also end of a quarter. The dealers need to move cars and if the month has not been so stellar, they will drop pricing even more to move units.
I bought a new 2011 CX9 touring model around the end of June and I got it for $4.5K off sticker plus 0% financing. Not sure if the factory incentives are the same now. I was able to use a $500 loyaltee rebate as a current Mazda owner too.

Well, managed 4500+ off sticker and the nice financing, but it was too easy so they screwed me somewhere. This is after a Saturday of telling me the best they could do was $1500 off MSRP with no financing.
The blatancy of the ripoff attempts was pretty bad tho. I can't believe it's sheer incompetence. I'm surprised these guys don't get punched.
1) Agreed on a price for a car with specific options. Then informed me the car had multiple thousands of miles on it. Remaining new inventory not exactly what we wanted, but settled for one.
2) Gave me price on car that was $1000 over price emailed to me. Fixed that and then they tried to do it again another way.
3) Told me no financing for that price. Fixed that.
4) Screwed me for $250 dock fees (still unsure if that's bogus or not, felt bogus).
5) Tried to screw me for some paint/interior protection that they claimed is on all their cars. Still screwed me to some extent since I believe the value is $0. I have 5 years to extract my revenge... err, get my money's worth.
6) Screwed myself and took an additional 3 years/39000 warranty. All that hard work saving a dime down the drain. They should have had the finance guy sell me the car. He was the most believable of the bunch. Actually, that was probably the whole ploy. Wear me down with the sales guys and then have the finance guy stick it to me with the good cop/bad cop thing. Dangnabbit!
7) Put off paying 0% for another 90 days
I couldn't understand the idea of putting money down on a 0% financing deal. Nor the idea of making payments any earlier than required given 0% interest. Obviously, you can't do this and believe you're somehow never going to pay.
Well, that's enough car dealing for me for another 10 years...

Yeah when I said I'd pass on that warranty, and she asked me why, I said "I like excitement"... LOL, she moved on.
We paid $32,534 before TTL for a 2011 CX-9 Touring AWD with Bose/Moonroof and Liftgate/Keyless packages. In White.
I think I could've gotten him down a bit more, but there were only 2 Touring AWD in White in my area, and i wanted to get it done for the zero percent deal.
I am considering purchasing a brand new 2011 Touring AWD that is coming in on the next truck to the dealer(next week).
Can anyone guide me as far as pricing on this car? I decided I did not want to get the Bose package.
Very nice community here as well! I look forward to participating!
Thanks,

September incentives were $500 cash to customer, $1,000 manufacturer to dealer (to customer too), which equaled $1,500. When I was calling, the dealers were telling me they'd do $2,000 under invoice on the 2011's. But, the September incentives are over, and I don't see any incentives yet on Edmunds.com for Mazda's. It might take a few days before they put some new incentives up, but then again, maybe the dealers will give these things away anyway, who knows. With it being the end of the year, and the new model years already on the lots, you should start negotiations at $2,000+ under INVOICE. Forget MSRP, that's monopoly money, a stupid funny number that no one pays. We completed our deal on the last day of the month, last day of the quarter, on last years model (2011). We probably could have done a better deal, but we still did pretty good. ($2,000 under invoice with ZERO negotiating, then we had a negative equity trade situation, etc...., which put us OTD at invoice price) Could have done A LOT BETTER if the wife wasn't stuck on getting a stupid sunroof! Good luck!
