A lot of Mazda dealers near me offer $500 off for loyalty, military, and more. Just check different dealers and see what promotions they have going on.

 

No discount on mine that I bought in late March 2023. It had only been on the lot for 7 days with many arriving pre-ordered in my metropolitan area. Good side however was that there were no dealer added accessories that tend to be the norm in many auto dealerships these days. Glad my dealership doesn't play those games.

 

Does anyone else have their sales to share? I am looking to purchase one in the Chicagoland area. Thanks

 

If you want the lowest best price in your area ,your going to have to put in the time and work and shop all the dealers in your area. Sooner or later your going to find the best deal .

 

Or even look in an adjoining state. Sometimes it's worth a drive (or flight).

 

Utilize CarGurus, Cars.com, AutoTrader, and Carfax. Between the four, I've had the best luck with CarGurus.

 

2023 CX5 $500 off MSRP at Schomp in Denver about 2 months ago

Mcdonald dealership potentially offered more, they offered a disc and then added mandatory optional items i did not want, I did not trust their approach.

Bob in Denver

 

damn thats alot of cars on their lot. That’s a pretty sweet rate. Also, I’m curious how you got that lol.

 

I purchased from McDonald Mazda North in Longmont, Colorado on July 15, 2023. I paid MSRP and added the splash guards, rear bumper protector, heavy duty floor mats and cargo mat and cargo area cover at no additional cost.

 

I apologize for an error in my original post. The dealer that I bought from at the time of my purchase had170 CX 5s on the lot and in transit (according to their websites). They had about 90 on the lot at the time I purchased my CX5. After deciding I wanted a CX 5 in March of 2023 I created a spread sheet on CX5 inventory/in transit vehicles at the major dealers in my area - western Washington. I followed the numbers of vehicles in transit and on the lots of my target trims for 3 months. Checking the inventories 2 or 3 times a week on line I was able to follow trends in dealers supply (assuming the numbers on their websites were accurate). Most dealers had 30 -100 cars on their lots at any one time, and even though Mazda was reporting excellent sales of CX5s the on the lot numbers did not decline much over the 3 months that I followed them. In late April it became apparent Mazda was not going to discontinue the CX5 this year - thus no steep discounts for awhile. In addition inventories started to drop slightly and I needed a new car (see below). I called and visited 5 dealerships with the highest inventories. Most dealers were offering 0 to $1900 off MSRP depending on the trim (higher the price - higher the markdown) Unfortunately most of the dealers that I visited wanted to add useless aftermarket products that I did not want. At the time Mazda USA was offering $500 off if you were in the military, but not if you were a veteran as I am. Mazda USA also offered 0.9% financing - which I qualified for. In late April I called the Mazda dealer in Everett WA and they offered me $1500 off MSRP on any CX5 as well as the cheap financing. In late April I drove 30 miles to the dealership and they did just what they said they would. No BS add ons or high pressure stuff. Walked out in an hour with a Carbon edition with the Bose sound system. I did have to pay the WA state sales tax of about 10%, standard licensing fees, and $200 doc fees. No way legally around the first two add ons, and the $200 doc fee seems pretty standard. I had no trade in. My daily drive 2011 Nissan Leaf with the airbag warning light illuminated and a range of 35 miles on a good day was not worth talking about with them. I checked many other dealers in multiple states and found no deals approaching the one offered in Everett. Seems to me that for whatever reason the western Washington dealers just have a lot of vehicles. I don't think I did anything smart, I just happen to live in an area with high CX5 inventory and a few honest and motivated dealers. I'm sorry if I bored you with all this info. I really like the vehicle and find it fun to drive. Getting 30 MPG mixed urban/freeway - driving like an old man.
