I've been looking lately. On their websites many show a bottom line w/ delivery price that is before taxes, title, and BS doc fee. That price is the "come-on" and is purposely lower than about 98% of buyers will be able to get. In other words it is a "fake" price for almost all buyers. Plus dealers are charging up to a grand for the BS DOC fee and they'll hem and haw when you say it's a bogus added charge trying to convince you it is something like a mandated charge (the only thing mandated is the fact if they remove it for one buyer they can be sued for not offering the same removal for all buyers...but it's hard to prove since you usually don't know any other buyers)...BASICALLY DOC FEES ARE ADD-ON BS FEES. So a truck they bottom on their website is nothing more than a lie price wise. What an industry. You can't trust 'em as far as you can throw 'em.

Yep. If you are not a skilled negotiator or a patient person willing visit at least three dealerships, hire someone to help you!!! Always talk OTD price and if the dealership won’t, walk because they are not dealing honestly.

There are dealerships that will be honest and offer upfront pricing (Mullinax Ford is an example). They will be in business long after these scumbags price themselves out of business!

Congrats. Its a pretty sweet buy, just by casually searching. The same can be said for other makes/models that currently have 2024 and 2025 models on the lot for sale. To me, any car more than 30 miles on odometer is used. I tried to buy a loaner once and dealer wouldn't sell it to me. If i may offer some advice, since it is used car, do some maintenance on it - I would definitely change the oil/filter now - regardless of what the maintenance book says, and then whatever the book interval is, half that interval if you want to keep the car 100K+ miles. Hope you and family enjoy the ride.

So... you didn't buy a new car.... What if you ran the numbers with the Mazda subvented rates Mazda has been offering for months? Did you not qualify?
@RonKnowsStuff 19 күн бұрын
It was a dealer owned vehicle and in the eyes of banks, it is new. Since it is current the model year. We are cash buyers. Saving $1000 to get 0% didn’t make sense. When you factor in the additional warranty buying a CPO gets, the numbers made sense to us. I hope that answers your question. If not, let me know and I’ll dig deeper
@Wabsirba 19 күн бұрын
@RonKnowsStuff The idea that a vehicle that was used as a loaner is new varies from state to state. Pennsylvania, for instance, or must be sold as used. And if you were cash buyers, then why all the talk about interest rates?

@ I wanted to provide the loan information as not everyone is going to pay cash. Financing is a huge factor to consider when buying. Right now Jeep is offering great deals to move tin. Mazda isn’t on the CX-5 and Toyota isn’t on the RAV4.

I can tell you as an ex car jockey many many years ago during my college days, loaners are the worst cars to buy as they can be driven hard, same as rental cars. Also, the deal you got for a used car isn't that great.
@RonKnowsStuff 20 күн бұрын
Loaners tend to have lower miles on them than rentals and are managed by the OEM service department. I checked and so no issues with the one we bought but, you are right. You have to be very careful when buying anything with miles on it. Thanks for watching!
