Mazda 5 vs Kia Rondo

Re: July 2009 Sales (US) [tourist1292]

Written by: coolmazda5 on Aug 06, 2009 08:22 AM

So it seems that in this case KIA is being bitten back by offering way too many options for a single model nowadays. That was its strength in past months however. Oh well, I hope the Rondo and the Mazda5 stay in the KIA and Mazda line-ups in the US for the next generation, competition is always healthy (those KIA numbers don't help today though, the Rondo is just ahead ...

Coolmazda5.... So what do you think? Our Mazda5's are not cars but are not really mini-vans. They are not SUV's because they do not classify as that type of vehicle so therefore they do not come standard with privacy glass. Most people call them wagons but they raise contraversy because it has slider doors like a mini-van...which is not, and now the government ... Read More...

They would have sold more Rondo if they are shipping more. Weeks of waiting drives people away Mazda has the same problem. There is no inventory of the Mazda5. This is the second year in a row that the demand is greater the the supply. I have a 13 person wait list for a Mazda5, and I have not been able to order 2010's yet! Read More...

Mazda5 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

For the Costco price, call Polar Mazda and ask for Michael Smith. He's the one who helped give me the Costco quote ($18600 for a base Mazda5 Touring after incentives). The other salesman we talked with there was Brian Lim, really nice guy. Read More...

I went to the University Mazda in Seattle and showed a print out from this forum and got the salesman to sell me the 2009 Mazda5 GT for $19750 + tax + +reg fee + $49 doc fee in about 15 min. That's the best car buying experience I've ever had in years. I traded in a clunker and got $4500 + $500 rebate. I didn't get the scrape value because I didn't know better... but oh well, ...

I have a question. Would trading in a 2006 Mazda5 for a new 2009 Mazda5 entittle me to the CARS program? how much? 3500? 4500? ***never mind, I just answered my own question with the link the Mazda website has. It seems like only vehicles that have a combined EPA of 18 or less will qualify*** Read More...

Hi, I live in Maryland and have found a 2009 Mazda5 Touring with an MSRP of $21,810. My 1997 Ford Expedition qualifies perfectly for the CARS program - it drives with 120k miles, it's insured, and I have the title. Here are my questions: With an MSRP of $21,810, what's a fair price to offer for this Touring model in Maryland? There is a $500 CARS incentive from Mazda. ... Read More...

CARS

Written by: cyclone83 on Jul 24, 2009 08:30 AM

So it looks like the Mazda5 qualifies for the $4500 CARS rebate. Then Mazda throws in another $500, and you may even get a little scrap value from the dealer. This brings the price of our 2009 GT w/ a few options down to around $14500. That's insane. Read More...
