Washington Mazda Car Dealers

Got a pretty sweet deal. Paid roughly $35K including everything ($31900 - $250 Mazda private cash + tax ($3200) + documentation/registrationfee ($360)). The MSRP was roughly $36200 I am in seattle WA area. I think its a good price, any comments?

jayrider, just a couple of thoughts from a non-expert here based on my current investigation of leasing a 2010 CX9. 1) lease rates are awesome right now - money factor i was quoted was .00060, which translates to a 1.44% interest rate for a 36 month lease with 12k miles 2) i'm surprised at the large down payment?? at least where i live (WA state), with the current Mazda drive off event, there should be no down, no first months payment, etc. I was told that drive off costs would be tax on the first months payment, doc fee (which is negotiable in my state), and license fees - so only a few hundred bucks to drive the car off the lot. $2,000 seems like a lot, unless they're doing some sort of cap reduction or something. 3) you should probably find out from the sales guy the following for the experts on the board to tell you if you got a good deal: MSRP: Selling Price: Money Factor: Residual %: Just my two cents...

Thanks to this forum, I had the info I needed to negotiate a cash purchase of a 2009 CX-9 GT with the following options: 1. GT Assist 2. Bose/Moonroof 3. Splashgaurds 4. Roof rails I got the $4,500 factory to dealer incentive off invoice, for a total price of $33,000. Less trade-in, plus TTL for an OTD price of $34,500. I choose the Stormy Blue on Sand - they had two left last week with these options (white and silver). Dealer = Lee Johnson, Kirkland WA. Similar deal available at University Mazda (they have black/black as well). BTW - for additional options, I've put in an order with mazdaparts.org (not .com) - free shipping over $100 and about 20% below dealer cost. Just ordered all weather floor mats, cargo mat, roof rack crossbars (grrr that those aren't standard) and a cargo net for about $350. Oh yeah, and a jar touch-up paint because that first door ding is probably just around the corner. After a week - I've found nothing I don't like about this car. The negative comments I've read about not having a trip MPG computer are not applicable to the 09 - the mpg computer is full featured and really nice. I hated the NAV unit the first time I drove the 08 model, but after a week, I like it much better than my Garmin Nuvi. Added and unexpected feature - it finds media files on my Windows Phone and plays them over BT. Only DOH so far is that I whacked a curb on 2nd day pulling into a lot. No damage to wheel or tire - and I whacked it pretty hard. Looks like there is a coating on the rims to prevent brake dust build up, and that held up too. Still sucked. Use to driving a much smaller car.

Just leased the above for a cap cost of $17,729 ($500 under invoice) plus $595 acquisiton fee. $238 drive off for title, tags and doc fee, monthly payment is $237 including 9.8% sales tax, 10k miles/year. Base s Sport, no options. This was in Olympia, WA.

We got Blue Sport AT at University Mazda in Seattle for $17.3K - right off the ship. Most of local dealers are out of stock completely. They don't yet take orders on 2010... Good luck to those who're on the hunt.
