Hi all
Wondering if anyone can help me with a “decent” price guide on new Mazda CX 9 Touring FWD for me to negotiate with the dealer.
Thanks

I was advised it’s not really a must to get a AWD for city driving.
It's not but neither is getting an SUV the size of a boat for city driving.
AWD will help if you ever tow anything, better traction in adverse rain/snow weather and if you ever find yourself on off-road/unsealed roads. The driving dynamics are also better and it gives you general better grip on the road.
Not really.
I have had a similar size suv for many years and have towed a trailer, a 4.2mr boat and a 14ft caravan. There was never any loss of traction or unusual handling experienced.
Dirt roads were also fine.
I find it better than rear wheel drive which tends to loose traction far easier in the rear end.
Naturally common sense must prevail as it should when driving any car. A suv will not handle like a Hyundai Getz and a driver must remain aware of this. Quality tyres with correct pressure and a balanced load is also necessary as it would be with any vehicle.
Test drive an awd & a 2wd and decide for yourself.
It doesn't provide better grip at all. It provides better traction.
Buy a Kia Carnival then.
around 10% from RRP?
I wonder what decent is as a percentage…
aim for 10% off from advertised price. CX9 is already reduced atm from their original RRP
Might struggle with that based on the current covid stock shortages, though not sure the cx9 is as 'in demand' as some of the others currently suffering demand outstripping supply
true. I got offered cx9 sport for 42k which is on daw special for $46k and the original rrp is $49990. There is a shortage atm.
Why do you need a MASSIVE SUV for city driving? Easier way to save money would be to get a smaller car.
Perhaps they have several people to drive around.
A small car might not be as suitable for multiple car seats etc etcThat's why I'm asking - if that's the case, sure. If not, let's look into other options. Many people don't really think about it, and just buy a big SUV because marketing.
That’s right. Have several people and hence after a large SUV
CX-9 has a very tight 3rd row, with low headroom and no ventilation despite being a large car. No good for Australia.
You could try a Pathfinder. Doesn't have Android auto or Apple carplay but has great hdmi tvs in the rear seats. Has a good 3rd row with head, leg room and vents.
Otherwise a people mover.
2wd is more efficient, no transfer case or drive shaft so no future problems there. It's a question of if you need 4wd for off road, snow, or hammer it at takeoff at the lights. That's all.Bought a Cx-9 sports FWD with mats, tints and front parking sensor for 42.5. Add the difference for Touring and start negotiating down from there.
Thanks. I've managed to get it down to $47000 for Touring with mats and tints included, haven't signed it yet.
check if you are eligible for corporate program and you can get 3 years free servicing
Yes, I did mention to the dealer and he said that the list of companies has been updated recently and will need to be checked with Mazda Australia.
Wow. Where was that? NSW?
Pricing was years ago
My bad. What was the driveway dealer price when you were buying it ? Its around $50, 900 now for Sport. Thanks.
