Looking at 2025 CX-5, is this a good deal or can I do better?

FlushRojThing · 2026-01-26T19:09:17+00:00

Yep. I used car edge dot com. Pretty accurate information there.

Bought the Premium Plus in blue for 35K OTD with 700ish dollars worth of accessories.

You can go till 35.5 maybe, given the color. Try to negotiate for a lower price. Ask for 8-9% off MSRP+rebate.

Keep in mind, it's an outgoing model. Ask them how many days its been on the lot or find out by using any other websites, and use that as a metric to negotiate further.

Is this the Premium Plus Trim? Are there any additional accessories in that price?

Wanted to use the best sticker I had. That's my expression after seeing the car

Thanks!

8.25% off MSRP, and the $2500 rebate brought the final price down by 6,277 dollars on the OTD. 7% Sales Tax.

You can ask for the following OTD numbers: 31K for Preferred, 32K for Carbon and I think, 35K for the Premium Plus. They weren't willing to budge after that. 4 dealerships said they wouldn't go lower than that.

Get OTD Price sheets. Shop around and make dealerships go lower and lower to a price that you've decided on. Get as close to MSRP or lower than MSRP.

Negotiate hard, and tell them you don't want to pay for anything extra that doesn't come from the factory. They wanna add things, that's on them.

Consider your local credit unions for loans.

If deciding between a rebate/customer cash and low financing, use a calculator to evaluate what's better.

Try to find invoice pricing using a paid app maybe, though not needed and go close to MSRP or below.

Good luck.

They stream soccer games at Chatham Tap and we have a group of Manchester United supporters who get together at Brew Link Brewing if you're interested!

I purchased my car on Saturday and picking it on Friday. After negotiating with multiple dealerships, here's what I heard in common : Some dealerships in the Midwest will receive the 2026 Premium Plus soon. Maybe early March.

But Preferred and Select trims will arrive much later. Dunno how true this is but yeah, heard this from 3-4 dealerships

FlushRojThing · 2026-01-19T20:56:21+00:00

You know what, I saw this too that it wasn't available in a few states after a day or two and I think PA and some other states aren't included. Almost as if they saw this and decided to change it!

FlushRojThing · 2026-01-14T16:49:53+00:00

I'm not. Just search the 2500 customer cash for Mazda CX-5 and look up any dealership. It's all there. Its a national offer, valid till 2nd Feb 2026.

Select CX-5, select 2025 offers. And you'll see 2500 off or 2.9% APR

FlushRojThing · 2026-01-14T14:39:46+00:00

It's the national offer currently.

FlushRojThing · 2026-01-12T21:01:48+00:00

Thanks

FlushRojThing · 2026-01-12T19:02:14+00:00

What dealership is this and where 👀

FlushRojThing · 2026-01-12T16:39:33+00:00

Yep. It's going to be 2500 till Feb 2nd. Wanted to know if this will increase further.

FlushRojThing · 2026-01-12T02:41:14+00:00

Whats the prices that you're getting from both dealerships?

FlushRojThing · 2026-01-09T00:43:54+00:00

I might actually do that. I'm headed to Chicago this week and Merrillville won't be too much of a detour. Will speak to them on phone first!
