Default Drove a 25 Select. Hows this price

Test drove a new 25 select yesterday. Was impressed. Nice handling, and the 2.5 was plenty powerful. Roomy interior and seemed like a quality build.
Really like the car. Few things concerning. While the full body paint is nice we will definitely ding it when going on dirt roads. Wish it came with attachment points for a roof rack, rather not use clamps. Need to verify whether it has cylinder deactivation, I won’t buy with that.
They’re asking $30.9k otd. Im pushing for $30k, have another bigger dealer to try. Is that a decent price?

I am tempted to look at a cx-50 as well, Im 6’3” and they seemed roomy enough, but dont know if the US build is as good. Will have to drive one.

You can get clear 3m protectant on the side. Applied correctly you would hardly know its there.

The VIN is the key to answering absolute question on what the vehicle has. Take the VIN call a Mazda dealer and ask them.
Personally, I would not use or get any other answer when it comes to what a vehcle has or has not. There is a reason why when you go into most service shop that are "A" rated that on the customers vehcle information the service writer goes out and personally gets the VIN.

I do have the vin, and the 8th digit is a L, so no deactivation!

Take it for a long drive, I'm 5'10" and I wish the Seat went back further. The Dealers are getting the 26's so a lower price may be in order. What's the Window Sticker price on it?

$32,255
The seat felt fantastic. 36” inseam and went back far enough, and the steering wheel extended just right. But Ill be driving again when my wife goes to test drive. Alot more space than my focus, and Ive done many 13-14 hours drives in it.
