Has anyone seen better pricing for this car in May or June? My best deal right now is $370/mo (incl. tax) /w $370 DAS.
I went through a laundry list of dealers in CA, OR & WA, below is the best quote that I was able to get.
Yet to find a dealer willing to do a 10-12% discount on this car, to get to my target price of $320/mo.
I’m also open to GTR or Carbon Turbo - but these are generally more elusive. Also open to more luxury SUVs if they offer better value. Yes - I know about the Wrangler 4XEs - not interesting.
Reach out to @AutoNinjas. The MSRP you listed has some added packages, the prefered package is $30,130 so not clear where you got to those numbers, but otherwise asking for a 10-12% discount on a hot car like this one is like asking for unicorn numbers. If you want to be realistic go for a 5% discount.
There are no packages the MSRP is higher because its Touring AWD. FWD is ~2k lower.
The only “option” added is a metallic color which is unavoidable as white & black are not palatable.
As far as the discount goes I’m already at 7% - so I would not shoot myself in the foot with 5%.
Is the CX-5 really a “hot” car? It’s somewhere at the bottom of the best-selling mid-size SUVs going by sales figures. Toyota RAV4, Subarus , Honda CRV are all “hotter” IMO. The CX-5 & the Tiguan are in the other corner. The Tiguan leases poorly due to a low residual (53%)
All the big dealers are sitting on an 120 unit+ inventory of the CX-5 right now. In my opinion - this whole idea of a shortage has been blown out of proportion by the sell side. The real supply shortage is closer to 5% of the total demand. It only affects some highly sought out cars (like the RAV4 Hybrid). The rest is business as usual.
I want to stay focused on the deal though. What else can I get for similar money?
