I'm new to Mazda's and want a CX 5 and can't afford new. Also I do not want a lease. I found 2 grand tourings for sale and wanted thoughts on pricing and if there is any differences between the years. 2016 - 33K miles for 19,560, and 2015 - 22K miles for 22,990. Both have no accidents and one owner. Are these going prices? Any difference between years?

Thanks!

The 16 was refreshed not once, but twice. Get the 16.

'16 CX-5 GT FWD

What 7 said. The '16 has a changed grill, updated infotainment system (with command wheel) and better wheels (subjective, I know). My '16 was built in May of '15 and bought at the end of June of '15 so if this '16 is a similar age, 33K miles isn't out of line. I'd guess the '16 has more highway miles which for me is a good thing. I'd say the '15 is overpriced. Good luck.

CX-5 Touring 2016.5

You can go on mazda website and search Certified cars in your area. if the difference is about 1000 dollars I would recommend a CPO. Seen few folks whose transmission went out and quite a few were 2016s. CPO just gives you piece of mind, that your tranny was not a bad batch and should last a long time.
Also for GT those prices seem low. Are you sure they are not Touring? Test drive a Touring or GT both. If you are new to Mazda - one thing that is overlooked is that Touring is the best value trim in MZD line up. A lot of people think that too, there is an article comparing model / trim and Mazda Touring won first prize ahead of a CRV EX trim.

If I'm not mistaken, Kapps, those bad tranny's happened well before 30K miles. And I certainly wouldn't say it was common.
Under $20K for a 16 with 33K is a steal.

Thanks all, but I thought only the grand touring has leather seats? Does the touring? If so I will go for that model

Yes, if you want leather you have to go for a GT.
