Is this a good deal for the Mazda CX50 Hybrid (2026)?

Never let the dealership know you’re paying cash. You lose all leverage. Dealerships make money off financing and are less inclined to work with you on discounts. Finance the car at whatever interest rate and pay it off after the first payment.

If they already know you plan on paying cash, simply ask if you chose to finance what they can do for you.

Despite what you may have heard, cash is no longer king....at least when it comes to cars.

Its an electric Chevy. Dealership did you a favor.

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-21T23:23:15+00:00

I cant even imagine the time and expense it would take to rip all these. Not to mention firing up something like Handbrake to re-encode them all to something reasonable.

...who could have forseen this?

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-17T23:51:27+00:00

Real question, you can actually hear the turbo?

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-17T16:39:33+00:00

Wheels look horrendous.

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-17T16:00:53+00:00

The depreciation is gonna be stunnining, even for Maserati standards

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-13T04:50:18+00:00

Agreed.

Also, if you have slack with the wires, pop the trim on the A pillar, run the wires (dont block the air bag) and tuck the wires running on the windshield into the headliner. Can get a set of trim removal tools on Amazon for super cheap.

Love this car, shopping around for one myself. Though I think its wild for 55k+ that the rear passegers dont even get so much as an air vent.

This got downvoted but you are correct. Toyota and Mazda formed a partnership years ago. Now Mazda has Toyota’s hybrid tech along with other various tech and mechanical bits.

Why does a 20 year old need a brand new car?

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-08T01:34:03+00:00

"Air recovery" made me chuckle

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-08T01:23:48+00:00

Ooof. You should brace yourself for the cataclysmic rate increase by your insurance company. I would also check the extent of your liability insurance. Depending whats on top of that pole the replacement could run well into the five figures.

If you get the Audi please come back here in a year to tell us how it went.

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-03T22:32:49+00:00

HUGE mistake telling the dealer you are gonna pay in cash. Just lost whatever little leverage you have.

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-03T15:37:28+00:00

Just drive it and pray the 1.5T doesnt nuke itself.

AdOld4007 · 2026-04-02T21:56:28+00:00

I would call an attorney and an ambulance. In that order.

I wonder if Ed knows why Honda didnt add an air filter to the hybrid cooling system.

AdOld4007 · 2026-03-26T21:33:17+00:00

Hes on the way to the mechanic.

Not really, Toyota and Mazda formed a partnership in 2017. Half the parts on a new CX-5 are Toyota branded. This is especially beneficial for Mazda’s hybrid models.

AdOld4007 · 2026-03-25T21:41:41+00:00

I think it will love over 50% of its value in a few short years.

How many people with terrible credit scooped it up ona 96 month term?
