I have decided to buy Brand New Mazda CX-5 Maxx Sport 2.0l Petrol Black. I live in Melbourne. The driveaway price is $38,240. I just want to get some tips and advice on how and how much to negotiate. I know it depends on various factors but looking to get some expert advice.

Can anyone help me in terms of how much to negotiate on price? Has anyone recently purchased this model or any other Mazda model?

I don't want to throw any ridiculous offers or low ball them. I honestly want the win-win situation for both the parties.

Thank you.

    Why would you want win win for both parties? You should want win for you only, they won't sell it at a loss. Tell them a number you are happy with, leave it with them.

    Why not? they are doing their best to high-ball you. Do some research, find a reasonable price that you are happy with and ask them. If they say no, then you can either say thanks and move to the next dealer or do some more research and adjust your offer price.

    Best deals are had on old stock or in stock vehicles. These one are burning holes in dealers bottom line and they need them to move. If they have to roder one in for you, then they are not as motivated to move it.

    At the end of the month or if the dealership is barren from covid, try an initial $31500 no finance, no trade-in, no paint protection, no tinting, no accessories. They'll work you up to $32000 - $33000 final price.

      Yes this should be doable. I was able to get a $33.5k quote driveaway in February for the same model. You ought to be able to get a better price now.

      • DealSa on 03/07/2020 - 20:16

        did you get any extras included with that price?

      Just checked the Mazda site and the driveaway there is $41240. The above numbers should have +$3000 added to them.

    Throw out your request to some brokers.

    Just spent the last few weeks playing games with dealership salespeople on a new car.

    If it's a popular model and colour don't expect a great discount but 10% off is achievable plus you should be able to get some 'free' accessories such as mats and a full tank of fuel etc., included in the price.

      Full tank of fuel = $50 lol

        Better that $50 in your pocket than theirs.

    I bought a cx9 last year and think I got a good price. Where are you based in melb? I got it from Mulgrave and can get in touch with the same person again if it helps. Pm me if required

    • rohitroygre on 31/05/2020 - 18:50

      I am in Wyndham Vale VIC 3024. Thank you for the help. Even if you can provide a rough idea to me on around how much was the driveaway price and how much less you paid (I don't want to know the exact amount), that will help me. For example, around 10% less than the driveaway price. If I need help later, I can always PM you. Thanks.

      • RM on 31/05/2020 - 19:40

        Sure, from the price we saw at car sales to what we paid, there was a difference of 13% odd.

        • rohitroygre on 31/05/2020 - 20:11

          That was definitely a good deal. Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you.

  • conza on 01/06/2020 - 07:32

    20%, that's your go to.

    Bought an Opel Astra which was originally listed at roughly 38k for $30k. Always have an alternative dealership that you're willing to go to. They need revenue and to get rid of a depreciating asset, go hard and be willing to go home.

    $30k, good luck, someone will do a deal. Or add your accessories and then 20% from that final price.

    • Euphemistic on 01/06/2020 - 08:30

      Opel astra is hardly a volume seller. They’d be waiting for a while before they get another buyer. Unlike the Mazda that is very oooukar and plenty of buyers around.

    • rohitroygre on 01/06/2020 - 09:57

      Thank you.

    Unless something has changed significantly in the last few years, the 2.0L is underpowered for that size chassis. We have a 2.5L CX-5 and our in-law's have the 2.0L, so I've felt it first hand. It's very noticeable, especially when full of people or on hills.

    My advice would be to test drive both the 2.0 and 2.5 before you go any further down this path, just to avoid that potential disappointment.

    • Beaches on 01/06/2020 - 09:12

      Yep, agree.
      We have the 2.5L and always glad we got it. The 2.0L is very sluggish even on a test drive on flat roads in Sydney.
      In about Mar 15, we got a '14 Maxx Sport model of the 2.5L driveaway $36k. I think import duties from Japan got a whole lot cheaper in around 2018, and given the economy and new car sales have crashed, I'd be going for 2.5L = $35k driveaway?…

    • rohitroygre on 01/06/2020 - 09:58

      Thank you.

  • rohitroygre on 01/06/2020 - 14:17

    What is the difference between KE, KE2 and KF models in the same car? Does anyone have an idea? Thanks.

    There is a link to google sheet which has prices - some Dec 2019 and contains some entries for 2020. Would be a good guide.

    • rohitroygre on 02/06/2020 - 11:57

      Perfect. Thank you.
