I live in the northeast and am currenly looking at a 2009 Mazda6 S GT with bose/moonroof, spoiler, and wheel locks. MSRP is $31,200 and I was told it will be $24,200 otd so basically $7k off MSRP. That price includes the $1k loyalty rebate. I was told that with the dealer cash I wasn't eligible for the $1500 rebate and 2.9% financing. I'd appreciate any feedback!!

S-Plan Lease and Acquisition Fee?

by ken954 on Sat Nov 07 15:33:07 PST 2009

I just worked a deal, would like to make certain I did OK before picking up the vehicle. I noticed a $595 'acquisition fee' on the paperwork - does anyone know if acquisition fees are applicable for S-Plan purchases? I thought they were exempt... Here are the rest of the details: 2010 CX9 AWD Touring w/ Moonroof / Bose and Power Liftgate MSRP: $35,557 S-Plan: $32,791 Loyalty Cash: $500 Residual: 53% Money Factor: 0.00060 Term: 36 Months / 12,000 Miles Annually Acquisition Fee: $595.00 Gross Cap Cost: $33,386.00 Cap Cost Reduction (Loyalty Cash): $500 Adj Cap Cost: $32,886 Sales Tax: 6% Monthly Payment $446.03 # of Payments: 35 (Mazda makes first payment according to dealer) Depreciation: $14,030.19 Rent Charge: $1,117.89 Should I have to pay the $595 Acquisition Fee for an S-Plan purchase? Did I do OK with pricing? Also, there's a $300 dispostion fee I noticed that I'm not crazy about... appreciate any input anyone may have, as I'm supposed to pick up the car on Monday.

You should be able to get $7500 off retail pretty easily right now and that's without the $1000 owner loyalty deal from mazda. I'm not sure what the sticker is on the "loaded" vehicle you are referring too. If it's loaded, it could be as high as $42,000, so that would bring you down to 33.5-34.5, without too much effort. I would say forget it on the lowjack, so make them eat that. Given that it's a demo, I'd say your 33K number is more than reasonable. If they don't have many left in the area, you may not get there as they might decide to hold out, but my opinion is hold your ground on your price.

Did I bid too low?

Had a less than positive experience with Galpin Mazda in Valencia, CA today. Knowing that paying 4 - 4.5k below invoice is not that unusual for 09 models I called them up this morning and spoke with the sales manager telling them I wanted to pay 32k which was 5.5k below invoice for a loaded 09 Grand Touring AWD they seemingly had. He said that "I was close" and told me to come by which I did with the thought that the car can be had for 33k after some negotiations. Upon my arrival it turned out that the car was actually at another dealership and I had to wait another 45mins for it to be driven to Valencia, had I known that I'd just went there and saved myself a 20 mile trip one-way. To make the long story short, in the process I found out that it was a demo car which had 3k+ miles on it and refused paying more than 32k + TLD . They wouldn't go below 34k and I walked out. The car had a ~$600 lo-jack installed bringing the invoice to ~38k for which (the low-jack) I couldn't care less. They also told me that promotional 0% APR did not apply to discounted cars and offered 5.29% on exellent credit for 60 months. Was I balling too low and missed a good deal?
