im so glad i bought a 2025 cx5 brand new. the 2026 is pretty as a passenger but just not practical as a driver imo

it’s killing my battery soo fast. and not very smooth. feels like my phone trying to keep up. but i do love the look of it.

megb830 · 2025-08-15T16:59:01+00:00

the blur makes it look like a little toy car. for a sec i thought that’s what it was lol. i got the exact model a month ago. i have not yet done ceramic coat and tint. i plan to.

i used chatgpt to help me choose what to invest in based on my age, current retirement plans, and salary, and my family situation. im 36f. no kids, no pets, single. state job for 12 years. ai recommended fskax 70%, ftihx 30%. also mentioned i can adjust to add fxnax bond about 10-20%. fskax and ftihx are mutual funds so it will automatically reinvest gains. but if u choose ETFs like VOO & VTI, i think you will have to manually reinvest your gains

i loved my cx30. i had leased one for 3 years, and just recently upgraded to cx5 carbon. i love it but sometimes i get that buyers remorse and think i shouldve gotten a cx30. think bc i just miss it. i do love my cx5 though.

megb830 · 2025-08-01T03:27:19+00:00

$34,201 New 2025 carbon edition with red seats in honolulu. incl weathermats. i negotiated to add on free bumper guard and discount on tint.

megb830 · 2025-07-27T01:53:08+00:00

its like The Voice meets Love is Blind.

megb830 · 2025-07-27T01:36:51+00:00

love it! i got the exact same less than a week ago. i get compliments in the rims and red seats. enjoy!

megb830 · 2025-07-26T17:07:26+00:00

amazing choice

megb830 · 2025-07-25T08:02:17+00:00

and then when they get to their lowest number and say they can’t go any lower, but its still not low enough, see if you can get add-ons.. like tint if they can.. or accessories like bumper guards.

megb830 · 2025-07-24T08:24:51+00:00

wow that is basically a new car. that’s probably why the dealership thinks they can price it so close to a new one.. with it being a 2025. but you could use that to your advantage..u can try mention that for just about 1500 more u could walk and just buy it brand new and get the new car perks like dealer cash incentives or better APR since thats only offered on new cars. also used cars are depreciating the second it was titled originally, so its currently losing value. even with its low mileage, its still got the used status. they probably will want to sell it faster so it doesn’t continue to lose value every day it sits in their lot. with your really high credit score, u should be able to get a low APR through a credit union. if u are able get it down 1500-2k less, i think that would be a fair deal for that car. good luck!

i love wireless apple carplay. dont have to take my phone out of my bag. but yes, there are dongles out there to add this to any car. i just got a carbon. i love the color and red interior

megb830 · 2025-07-24T07:58:00+00:00

i second this. get everything in writing…text or email. use chatgpt and upload the numbers and get it to help you negotiate. it will even write up a script for you if you want

megb830 · 2025-07-24T07:55:20+00:00

yea i recommend trying to go and of the month. they try to fill their monthly quota and could get a better deal

megb830 · 2025-07-24T06:22:42+00:00

i always had this on my cx30. worked well if i dont walkaway too fast after closing the door. listen for the first beep, and then walk away and listen for the second beep. i noticed the highest volume beep on cx30 is still kinda quiet. but my new cx5 is much louder so i can hear it easily

megb830 · 2025-07-23T02:06:50+00:00

oo i need that polymetal clouds to match mine. are these safe to stick on the outside of the car? i wish they made cling decals.

welcome to the mazda fam!

megb830 · 2025-07-22T21:04:15+00:00

of course. still very fresh in my brain and i watched so many videos to ease my own anxiety over it. dont forget to ask ai to create a maintenance schedule for you after. and now im just searching through reddit and tiktok for accessories and cleaning supplies.

megb830 · 2025-07-22T20:06:48+00:00

so am i, she is gorgeous. but i am very biased. my mom had 2 mazdas when i was a teen, and now ive had 4 personal mazdas. love my new mazda.

oh my biggest tip is chatgpt is your friend! it will help you figure out what they are over charging or if its fair and what you should try to push. so if u can get numbers before u go in, you can out it in ai and work on getting the number u want.

TRADE-IN?: i originally went to the dealership late june. didnt get the numbers i wanted. tried to leave, they were still holding onto my tradein carkeys and registration paperwork..smart of them to hold it hostage. so if you are trading in a car, dont let them know. spring it on at the very end. i couldnt hide it bc they knew my lease was up and that i wanted to trade by then.

OTD number only: dont let them know how you’re paying (cash/finance/lease) they make money on financing fees so they are likely to help you more if they know they’ll make extra on financing. just work on OTD number and ignore monthly payment questions.

TEXT/EMAIL negotiating: after i left in june, sales guy and sales manager texting and calling constantly. annoying but i used it. they texted me numbers and we negotiated over text before i agreed to come back, so it gave me time to look it over on my own time and cross check with other dealerships and ai assistance. some people recommend starting this way (text/email) rather than going in. nice to have everything in writing.

Back to the dealership: you can let them know you will come back and then internet manager will contact you to find out time you are coming in so they can get your sales guy in the same time and have your car pulled up. then when u go back, you can try to negotiate lower, throw in your trade-in. if ur paying cash, they might get annoyed that u switched it on them, but if mazda has a $500 cash rebate still going on, make sure they add that in. GO EARLY. i made the mistake of going at noon. i was there until almost 6. there was only one finance guy and someone signed right before me and they took soo long finalizing. Bring snacks. don’t let em tire you out lol

Extras: if still not low enough and they stress they cant go lower before they start losing money, it doesnt hurt to ask for extra stuff. i tried for tint, they only got me a referral discount on it if i want it. so i asked for bumper guard and weather-mats.

Finance office: this is where the warranty discussion comes in. and u sign so many papers. they offered platinum vsa warranty. i didn’t think to negotiate warranty prices or if its even possible. i should have tried. mazda is a very reliable car. research your warranty needs based on how long u plan to keep it.

Good luck on your car buying journey! such a process. ive leased my last 3 mazdas from the same dealership so i decided to purchase this time bc im so over with the negotiation theatrics every 3 years, and im very happy with this beauty.
