Hi everyone! Hope to join everyone here to own a 2020 Mazda CX-5 like many of you here, at the best price I can find. I'm aiming to get 2020 (while color) CX-5 Touring AWD with Preferred Package.
After emailing literally 15 dealers throughout the entire 100 miles radius past 2 days, the best pricing I've found so far is as follows:
MSRP: $31,555 (because snowflake white pearl paint $200, cargo cover $250, roof rack $400, preferred package $1375)
Dealer Discount: $3,117
Rebates: $2,000 (Labor Day Special?)
Sale Price Before Rebates: $28,438 (9.88% off MSRP)
Sale Price After Rebates: $26,438 ($16.22% off MSRP)
OTD Price Offered: $29,000 (8.10% off MSRP) (because taxes/fees are pretty big here in CA)
I already had 2 dealers who refuse to beat this price and backed away with the excuse that it's not good business sense, signs of desperation at the other dealers, etc. Been trying to push for a flat $28K OTD pricing but I haven't gotten any bites unfortunately.
First off, is the current pricing considered a good deal to many people here? I can't gauge if I decide to choose this offer, that this is best deal ever.
Secondly, from the previous post, looks like September Mazda are going to be even more discounted, like $5.5K? That would be bigger discount than what's being offered right now w/ dealer discount/rebates ($3,117 + $2000). I thought Labor Day weekend would beat any rest of September deals, but would be interested to know if I should hold off instead of finalizing a deal this weekend because Labor Day.
Would appreciate any 2 cents/advice before making a big purchase. I won't be doing the 0% APR as I plan to pay it all off within 2 months (not immediately so would have to settle for a temporary standard APR rate w/ like ~$5K down and rest paid all at once). So makes sense to choose $2K rebate discount over only $500 rebate + 0% APR.
Thanks all!
