Is this deal reasonable or ....

:
2019 CX5 Reserve AWD
are they taking me for a ride?


2019 Machine Grey GTR

Sale Price 34,825.00
Admin Fee 349.00 (what the hell is this? Paperwork)
Tax, Tag, License 1874.00
--------
37,048

rebate 750.00

OTD 36,298 seems pretty high
 
That*s close to the best price I*ve seen advertised online. If the state allows it, all dealers add a lame fee. $349 is not bad. They*re as high as $600 in VA.

If you want to try to save a few hundred on the sales price, find another dealer advertising a better price and ask them to beat.

it's high. I paid $33,099 a few months ago for the same vehicle...price was with no rebates

You're right. Based on the invoice they would make $1312.00 right off the bat Then they scoop another $349.00 for the admin fee and whatever they make off our trade which would probably be another $500 - $800. Looks like there's some room to maneuver.

I assume Mazda eats the $1000 or 0.9% financing that they're offering since I received the emails from Mazda not the dealer. You can either have $1000.00 or get .9% interest.

I took the .9, so the $33,099 was with no rebates at all. I did pay a $299 doc fee.

Yep... it really is that simple. The incentives are the same nationwide, it's just a matter of calling around and getting the best bid.

Show up at the best priced dealer on the last day of the month. It really can make a difference.

So it looks like the turbo has added a good 5K to the cost of the CX-5. Our top of the line CX5 in 2018 was ~29K before tax/tags, but at least you don't have to worry about cylinder deactivation!

Yeah, that's why almost half of the Fortune 500 and publicly traded companies in the United States are incorporated in Delaware. Don'tcha know Capitalists (kiss) Communists.

Corporation laws were drafted way before the communists took over. Now they're addicted to the cash from the incorporation laws.

Seems high to me too. MSRP w/ destination is $36,215. I think you can do better. That sale price is not even quite a 4% discount. Pretty poor if you ask me.

I just got quote Saturday for Same trim and and grey, they offered $34,699 after $2169 discount and $500 rebate (for the .9finance). Admin fee added to that of $589 and protection plan of $699 which Ill decline. My tax is less due a trade in ($740) and my out the door is $36,130 I was also thinking they were high so Im going to another dealer today - Ive got A nearby dealer has the dark blue online at $33426 after discounts but before taxes/fees.
