Leftover 2006 Mazda 5. What should I pay?
I am considering purchasing a leftover 2006 model year Mazda 5. It has been a manager demo since it arrived on the lot and has never been titled. It has a little less than a thousand miles on it. It has every option except leather interior including navigation, sirius radio, sunroof. The MSRP is a bit over $22,000.
My question is that because it is already a two year old vehicle with mileage that isn’t typical of a new car, What should I expect to pay for this car in it’s unique situation assuming I have no trade and am purchasing cash?
Thanks for the advice!
UPDATE: We went in with a check and ended up getting the vehicle for $17,600!!! woo hoo! Thanks for the advice
You say its the demo car… you know what that means, dont you?
It was NOT broken in properly. It was revved high, used for donut/coffee runs, and versus letting customers take out any car they want, THIS is the one that goes out. Hence the term “demo”.
One of two things happens on a test drive. The salesman hands over the keys, or he takes you out to show you what it can do and then its your turn. Hard braking (a HUGE no no), hard steering, foot to the floor accelleration. Then, after we tinker with all that drive nice as we would normally. If its a busy dealer, with the average drive being 40miles, that means 25 strangers have driven this car in the most important time of its life, each with different driving styles. Not to mention the dealer guys going for coffee in it.
Make sure it runs WELL. No weird noises. Make sure the brakes sound okay, no squealing or vibrations. If I was you and really fell in love with it, I’d also get the extended warranty.
This car should be pretty much the same price as any used Mazda 5 on the lot with a years worth of mileage. If you go in there and tell them you are aware what the demo car is used for (and dont let them tell you the boss drove it and no one else did, its not true) and that you would like to think the price of the car will be reduced accordingly, as it is possible its life has been shortened due to its hard beginning.
Good luck!
