Find Mazda Dealers in Las Vegas, Nevada

Around $22,000 for basic 2WD, XLT, 4 cylinders, around 5,000 miles, if you can believe that. Escapes (and most Fords these days) are pricey. Limited 6 cylinders 4WD are about $25,000. Hybrids are about $30,000. Unbelievable, no? Frankly, you may as well buy a 2011 new.

I hope you bought it. I love all 5 of mine.

I live in Las Vegas, NV. On 1/12/2010 I leased the following: 2010 MAZDA CX-9 GRAND TOURING AWD with a MSRP of $39,915 (Options include: REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, POWER OPEN/CLOSE REAR HATCH and NAVIGATION SYSTEM). My Lease Terms: 36 Months; 15,000 miles/Year; $598/Month; and… $0 (no money) at signing! Sooooo... How did I do??? I can take it! THANKS!

The receiver is the hollow, square piece on the hitch that you insert your ball mount into. It "receives" the ball mount. The OEM CX-9 hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver, which is too small even for some bike racks. The receiver cover is a plastic piece with a mazda logo that plugs the receiver opening to protect it from dirt accumulation. I'm assuming you didn't get the factory towing package. I don't know how much Mazda would charge for a factory wiring harness, but you can get one online from etrailer for about $50. If you need a factory hitch, I have an unused one that I just removed that I'll sell you ;)

This forum was a HUGE help in my research, so I thought I'd share my experience with any prospective buyers. It's definitely not the best deal on these boards, but it was the exact car we wanted & low hassle dealing with the internet department via emails. Bought at a So.Cal dealership: 2008 CX-9 Touring 2wd, White, Towing Package, Entertainment Package & Roof Rails. MSRP=$35,785. I negotiated a base price of $30,300 and they worked the numbers so the $3000 rebate was not taxed. Total OTD was $32,807 (7.75% to uncle sam). Like I said, not the best price here, but the exact car we wanted and $5,500 off of sticker isn't too shabby in my book.
