We received a quote from a dealer in Kansas City and provided that to a local dealer in Omaha area to get down to 40K (CX90 Preferred, Machine Grey). We did a lot of communication via email, walked out of multiple dealers in person and finally told them we would not be there in person unless they came down to our desired price.
 
In case it is helpful we ended up purchasing a 2025 Turbo S Premium. MSRP $55,275. Purchase price $50,926.50 + taxes and fees. I believe we could have gotten a little more off, but we were trying to purchase quickly.

We appreciate the feedback from everyone on the forum.
Great to hear you were successful in your hunt and negotiations!
 
I will also add that two other Mazda dealers in our area with far fewer CX90s on the lot were tough to negotiate with and were offering what most others are seeing in the range of $1000 to $2500 off MSRP. It definitely pays to shop multiple dealers and even go out of state.

A vehicle is one of the largest financial decisions people make and over the years and many deals it pays to take your time, try your best to keep emotions out of the negotiations and has already been stated be prepared to just walk away. I get that some people are in a bind and just need to get a deal done but it is far better to plan ahead if at all possible.

While I am lucky that the Mazda dealer I work with is a volume dealership that I have been doing business with for a decade now every negotiation is like a brand new one and other than things like customer loyalty cash they work very hard to keep the price as firm as possible. Every new Mazda I have purchased from them begins with a statement that "We are a one price for everyone dealership." I usually just smile and tell my salesman that this has been the situation there for 10 years and I still have yet to pay their preset discounted price.

New car Turbo S P on the last minute of 2024. $54,800 MSRP, got selling price at $49,100 plus 0% for 36 months. I am in DFW, TX
Congratulations.

I believe that is the lowest price I have seen for a Turbo S Premium.

Is it a 2024 or 2025?

Is that $49,100 out of the door or $49,000 plus tag, tax, etc.?

That appears to be a pretty good deal based on everything that I have seen and our purchase experience earlier this month.
 
It appears that most incentives are ending at the end of this month (Ontario, Canada to be specific), anyone have an inside scoop on what the new "Spring" incentives might be?

I traded in my 2024 CX 90 PP yesterday for a 2025 CX 70 PP and I must say the ride on the CX 70 is way better than the CX 90. Got a great deal from my Mazda Dealership. Got the Mica Black with the red interior and it is beautiful. Had the platinum quartz with the white interior but the black is starting to grow on me.
 
Mazda is not dealing much on the CX 70 or CX 90 with the turbo engine. i got the hybrid CX 70 premium plus sticker was $62.000 I got the CX for $54,000 I leased it for two years because I would not buy a new car because after 3 years your warranty is gone. people say a lease is a waste of money. i had a 2024 CX 90 after the 2 year lease the buy out on the car was $41.500 that all the CX was worth. If I would have bought the car after 2 years of payments I would have lost $20.000 on the car. So leasing the car for 2 years only cost me $16.000 with my down and the payments. Now I just walk away and got a new Mazda CX and my payments are now lower then my old lease

Leases make sense in some cases but not all. Primarily if you only drive 12K miles a year or only keep your cars during the bumper to bumper warranty. In our case they do not as we always keep our cars for 5 years or 75k miles, whichever comes first. Warranty is a non-issue as we have never had a single major repair in the first 75K miles of owning any auto from new and definitely not any of our Mazda's which over 5 of them now a grand total of zero have needed any repairs at all and a couple of these we have kept beyond 100K miles and 5 years. The most was our first Mazda 6 which was driven for 12 years and 180K miles and only needing routine maintenance. Only sold it because due to used car values being what they were a couple of years ago the dealer paid $8500 cash for it.

As for cost of ownership. You pay for the depreciation of the new car either way whether you are leasing it or buying it outright. There is no free lunch. Sure a lease can work in your favor mostly during the rare times that used car prices are rocketing up but normally that is just not the case. For a $30K new vehicle purchase I plan on $3K per year depreciation over 5 years. For $40K I plan on $4K per year over 5 years and in the case of the CX90 being $50K I am planning on $5K per year. Since we bought our last CX9 for $42K and just recently sold it at 5 years old for $22K to Carvana the $4k number was right on the dot. I have every reason to believe that the CX90 will still be worth $25K in 5 years. If it is significantly below that value I will just drive it for a few more years and plan on keeping it for 125K miles. This is far easier to do with a vehicle you purchased new vs a lease where you have to accept the price you are offered. Manufacturers love people that lease for just this reason. That brand new car with another lease is what most people returning leased vehicles go for rather than purchasing the car they just finished up leasing. Again, the past few years notwithstanding.

Also, the newly passed tax relief bill will benefit buyers of new cars as you can now deduct the interest on your Federal Taxes as long as you meet the income requirements. This does not apply to leased vehicles making purchasing a new vehicle and financing it a better option for many buyers. Bottom line is whether you lease or buy you must negotiate the price of the vehicle either way or you are paying too much for the car. Some people think leasing it means they no longer need to negotiate. That is a major mistake and why so many leases end up being really bad deals for people.
 
I am in Canada, BC and the best offer I got so far is $1000 off Mazda incentive and $2500 off from the dealer - I am looking for a 2025 cx90 mild hybrid GT and aiming for 10% off MSRP - is that too aggressive of an ask? MSRP $55,700

Sales manager almost lost the deal due to the psychological pressure tactics he tried to apply on the 3rd round of negotiations but given that the entire deal was done in under 15 minutes, I let it fly).

Plan early buy out in the next 3 weeks, and duke it out with the County Tax Assessor over double sales tax using the conditional purchase clause.

I know a lot of TX folks will be interested in the outcome of lease buyout and double sales tax elimination at the county tax office. Will post an update on the outcome. Wish me luck TX folks!

The strikethrough items are really not needed and add zero value IMO. But that was part of the vehicle on the lot and not much I could do about it. What does add value but is missing is the Tailgate Garnish Trim which really breaks the bulbous rear end and gives it a sleeker look.
