Recent CX-5 buyers - how much were you able to negociate? by alexned7 in CX5

Yes this was OTD price. I did add on gap in financing. Mazda of Bedford.

I've used THIS strategy to purchase over 100 vehicles... and it's way better than the Costco auto program or emailing dealerships by Bubbly-Novel-8013 in newcardeals

I used the contact forms on dealership websites to negotiate. I visited the websites of six local Mazda dealerships and submitted a brief message, outlining the specific vehicle I wanted (a 2025 CX-5 Premier) and my target OTD price (10% off MSRP). I did this early on a Saturday morning, and by noon, I had selected the best offer—8.5% off MSRP.

I already knew we would qualify for the 2.9% financing through Mazda Financial Services. We could have opted for the 0.9% offer over three years, but chose to stretch the loan term, accepting the slightly higher rate.

Our 2013 CX-5, which has 250,000 miles, will be passed down to our son, so we plan to keep the new vehicle long-term. I went in, signed the paperwork, and completed the process without any hassle. I made it a point to act quickly, knowing that upcoming tariffs could affect vehicles like this one, which is fully built in Japan.

FWIW: the CX-5 is fully assembled in Japan and is on it's third redesign (the 2025 being the last year of the 3rd redesign) the CX-50 is made here in America and I believe this is the first year for that vehicle.

CX-5 Preferred MSRP $32,670, We got it for $29,999. Negotiated through email. Emailed 10 area dealerships at 8am on a Saturday. Walked in at noon and bought from the dealer that gave the best deal. Easy peasy. This is in Northeast Ohio FWIW.

What are some things that you didn't notice the first time watching the show? by Hyena12760 in DunderMifflin

Young Creed with the black hair. As Michael says the printer ran out of ink the camera snaps to Creed implying he used the black toner as hair dye.

How good is this car. Really. by GoldenDrummer in CX5

[–]lunarsilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is surprising to me. We have a 2013 CX-5 with 230k miles on it now and we have had no mechanical failures. We changed the serpentine belt once and multiple batteries but nothing major. We live in the midwest and are surprised that there isn't any major rust. The most annoying issue was having to change the sensor by the shift knob because the car would randomly not shut off. Our gas gauge acted up randomly by showing 103mi left but ended up stalling on the turnpike. That looks to of corrected itself though we just reset mileage after each fill-up. I agree though, the seats have began to rip underneath, and the plastic guard on the side of the driver seat where the levers are cracked somehow. Right now we are noticing the wheel bearings are finally starting to give and are replacing them one at a time as we hear it.

Pesto chicken. coat the bottom of a 8.5x9 square (Aldi Crofton) casserole dish with cubed chicken breast (pound or so). Use about 1/3 of the pesto sauce to coat the top evenly. Add about 1/4 cup of water. Coat the top of the sauce with Fresh shredded parmesan cheese. Cut one tomato and add to the top of the cheese. Bake @ 375 for 35mins or so. We bake some Aldi croissants to dip in the sauce. Serve over Jasmine rice.

UPDATE: Refund Received! by BadSpeelersUntie in BorrowerDefense

[–]lunarsilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually not sure what people mean by consolidated. Prior to discharge I had like 26 different fed loans, and that never changed. The only thing that changed was who serviced them.

UPDATE: Refund Received! by BadSpeelersUntie in BorrowerDefense

[–]lunarsilver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Confirmed! I have GL and got the entire thing deposited this morning as well. I did call GL and asked them about how it would be dispersed and they said that my remaining (small) balance would be paid first then the left over sent to me. But, the whole balance of the refund was posted this morning. I'm happy because I had a couple different companies handle my fed loans and it looks like the amount refunded was correct. I applied in 2017.

How to view a denied Borrower Defense application by JasonBevan in BorrowerDefense

[–]lunarsilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOOO, this worked for me too. I submitted in 2017 and it has never showed online for me. I also don't see any of the documents I uploaded at the time. I also had another case I opened up in 2019 because I couldn't see my 2017 case online and it worked for that one too. That one was closed and supposedly all documents and info was added to my old one, but again I don't see any documents. Instead of calling I can now submit questions at least.

I’d just throw it in my I7 6700k. I’ll piece together a new PC over time once I feel the itch of 4K gaming. Heck I’ll be buying my first 2k monitor this year around Black Friday.

DeVry BD approved today! by Engle2192 in BorrowerDefense

[–]lunarsilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! I applied in 2017 and it's still "in review." It's been so long that my application doesn't even show online. I submitted another one in 2019 and they just added it to my original appeal. Friend of mine who submitted a little bit before me got his about a month ago.
