This thread was incredibly helpful to me in navigating my recent purchase. We already had a 2014 Mazda 3s GT Hatch and A year ago we had an old Mazda CX-7 that was showing its age and was time to be replaced. None of the Mazda SUVs appealed to me at the time so we sprung for a new Volvo XC60. Well, long story short, the Volvo drove me crazy. I got to the point where I almost hated to get in and drive the dang thing. The whole car, infotainment, everything was glitchy and buggy as hell. It was not fun. I had been eyeing the new CX-9 for a while and finally, impulsively, I pulled the trigger yesterday. Seeing what people paid made me informed enough to walk away from the first dealer I talked to and got me a better deal elsewhere. I was able to get $37,913 +TTL for a new CX-9 Grand Touring. Hopefully this helps somebody else...
Thanks to all of you for helping us get a better deal!
