Avis at San Antonio Intl has CX-5's. I've taken one a couple times when traveling there for work.

Got my sister to purchase a '16 GT with Tech FWD (in Atlanta). I told her about the realcartips method that I had used to get mine, and it worked well again. She got hers for $1400 below invoice (before TTL).

Touring with Tech? If leather is not a concern.

Saw that the new CX-3 uses shorty headrests in the back. Anyone have access to see if they'd fit in the CX-5?

Congrats. If you see a Blue Reflex on the eastside of Cleveland, it's probably me.

This is an awesome read. Thanks for this. Any info to be found on the AWD system?

Great read maxwax. I'll definitely be getting winter tires in preparation for next year.

No, but I didn't really try either. I got them to take my '13 Kia Optima lease in on trade (5 months early) with a clean break.

Congrats. Another Ohio CX5. What part of the state?

I picked up a '16 CX-5 GT AWD with Tech (Blue Reflex Mica) this weekend. MSRP was $31,855, selling price was $29,997 ($1000 below invoice). Have to give a huge thanks to the forum. I used this (http://www.realcartips.com/guide/newcars.shtml) website technique that aaiwani posted to secure that...

You definitely received an authentic price Bob. The datasheet I received was for a '16 GT AWD with Tech only (also dealer add wheel locks), so the MSRP should be comparable. Here are the numbers. MSRP - $31,910 Invoice (S-Plan) - $30,894 E-Plan - $29,652

aaiwani, can't thank you enough for posting this. I've reached out to 14 Mazda dealers in my area. So far I've received a bid for $1000 below invoice (before any Mazda incentives) on a '16 GT AWD w/ Tech and i-ACTIV. Up until this point, the best I could manage was price at invoice. I've now...

That's pretty good pricing. It falls in line with what truecar.com is claiming to be "factory invoice" for each item. I want to try and get as close to the $29,674 (employee price) floor that Bob-loblaw found. Not sure how I'll get there, but I want to try and nail something in the $30k range...

LMAO, I put that all wrong. I meant 36,000mi. However, my wife (primary driver) doesn't drive much. Our Optima has less than 20,000mi with 6 months to go on the lease. I personally have a daily round trip commute of 75-80mi.
