    2017 Tow Hitch

    So I picked up the trailer hitch and wiring harness from etrailers, but I'm having a terrible time finding someone to actually install it. I've called a few mechanics and no one has even agreed to take a look at it on the phone. I know a lot of people have installed the hitches themselves, but...

    Sweet deal on a 2016 awd gt..or is it?

    This is the kind of stuff that worried me about buying a car from a dealership. Everything I've read / seen indicates they are all out to screw people and make money hand over fist. I have to assume there are some solid dealerships out there, but figuring out who they are is next to impossible.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Yes, for a car they had in-stock. Turns out that specific model was sold but he held the pricing for me and I'm going back this evening to finalize everything. I think that's a pretty good deal too - I couldn't talk my dealer past 31 flat. The math gets even simpler when the rebate gets...

    2017 Tow Hitch

    If I go with the Drawtite, should I go with the OEM wiring harness that is now available or one of the two sold on etrailer? I'm not familiar with setting it up at all so I plan to bring the wiring harness + hitch receiver to my mechanic and ask him to attach all to the car.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Just got 31,000 for 2018 GT, AWD, navy blue / black, premium with a bumper guard. Msrp is 33,440, so just over 7%. Might be taking that deal today.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    The quote I got a few up from here is Costco pricing at the Norwood mazda location. I'm going in tomorrow to get pricing at Liberty in Danvers on the same car and we'll see how that stacks up.

    Any factory installed only accessories?

    Give peas a chance! Thanks - that's what I thought, so I can be flexible on some stuff if they need me to come back to install it.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Got the following offer through Costco Auto sales person: 2018 GT + Premium, Wheel Locks, Parking Sensors, Blue MSRP: 33,845 Offer: 32,270 He said the Costco standard program is $200 below Invoice fee. I'm going to keep shopping around, this seems pretty thin compared to some other posted deals.

    Any factory installed only accessories?

    Are there any accessories or options aside from Premium that must be chosen or installed at the factory before the car gets to the dealership? I'm working with a local dealership who is hoping to get me into a car before the end of the month; I'm not opposed to it, but their stock doesn't have...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Ok, that makes a lot of sense, thank you. I'm not in any rush, so I think if I can't find the car I'm looking for I'll just wait for it to roll around again - if it doesn't come up in March, there should be something comparable around Memorial day.

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    The 0% APR financing deal that is on right now, two quick questions about that: 1) It says 'must take retail delivery from dealer stock by 2/28'. Does that mean it's got to be a car they have on the lot? 2) The ad says that it expires 2/28. How real is that? If I qualify but they don't have...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Thanks - that is a fair point, and since I'm never towing anything even approaching the limit of the hitch or trailer, it may not matter too much. Quick follow-up question: Do I have to provide my trade-in info in order to get the final pricing from the dealership? Or are those two things...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Thank you both. I was put off by the Mobile Start as well but I didn't see anything noting that it was available outside of the app. I will definitely look to get this outside of the app system, either through the dealer or afterwards. The warranty is a great point for the accessories, I didn't...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    We just got back from test driving a 2017 CX-5 and loved it; so much nicer than a Rogue in cabin noise and ride quality - although I guess this audience is probably already sold. This will be the first new car we've ever owned; prior cars were purchased off friends & family as they replaced cars...
