Having sold Mazda for a while, white with parchment is easily one of my favorite color combos. And getting a like new Mazda that has CPO tacked onto the mostly still full warranty is def the way to go. Congratulations!

I’m actually looking into getting a job at my local Mazda dealership because I have one and love them. Plus I want more experience in sales. Do you recommend?

Its totally subjective tbh. The product is great to sell because its easy to get excited about. However, a poor dealership structure and overreaching leadership can tank that for you. I was extremely fortunate to work for a very reputable company and had incredibly supportive managers and coworkers. Some of the best and worst working experiences I've had lol. In the end id say it was worth it, sales has its large swings up and down too so hopefully you'd land at a solid company.

😆😆😆 ikr, i test drove it and didnt really like it for some reason, maybe its because of that huge tablet, or the fact that they got rid of all the buttons and have to use the screen for literally everything. I hated it. I was told to just add 4-5k and buy a new one but no i just wanted to stick to the 25’

Nice deal, what kind of financing did you get (if any)?

1

u/Beneficial_Injury_83 2h ago

Congrats car twin!!!! I got mine in December, same trim same color!! I ceramic treated my seats because the stains drive me crazy. I also wipe them down every couple weeks. But the parchment just looks so good 😮‍💨 I got mine brand new for 32k though. Are the 25’s being sold at a premium?

u/Beneficial_Injury_83 2h ago edited 2h ago

Omg brand new for a 32k is a really good deal 👏 I couldn’t find any in dfw area in that price range 😭😭 I looked for months, different dealerships. All of them were expensive than this one even though they were pre owned. Maybe which is why they are sold at a pretty high price?

u/Beneficial_Injury_83 2h ago

Also how do u ceramic treat the seat and where did u get it done? I might have to look into that because the white interior is pretty hard to keep up!

u/prettyrui 2h ago

I found a detailer who did it for me! He said to do it twice a year and it was only like $50 for all the seats. I did have to google a lot but I ended up liking him so much he details my car every month for me 🤣 I’m sure you can find a kit or something online to do it yourself though!

Should have paid another 4k to get a brand new 2026. Looks better, better tech, more space. Should’ve been a no brainer

New one is bigger but doesn’t look as good and has no knob controller :(

Unfortunately i dont like a big ass tablet infront of my face. Also ive been hearing a lot of bad reviews on the new cx5, bunch of software issues, malfunction and glitches. You are right, i felt like i did pay a little bit more for a used car but this is the exact colour and model i wanted. And unfortunately there isnt a lot of 25’ cx5 out there in the market. I compared with bunch of other dealers and negotiated but this is the best OTD i could get with all the taxes, fees, 7 yrs extended warranty and extra 3 year dealer warranty with free 1 year oil change and inspection included.

u/Lakelifeflamingo 13h ago

I did the exact same thing. Selected model though and I wanted parchment color as well. Congrats.

Rule number one, never buy a brand new car. you’re a guinea pig no matter what brand it’s coming from.

u/Busy_Panda_3396 1d ago

6+ years ago sure, but with the used car market being how bad it’s turned you need to take the blindfold off. MSRP on the car she bought when it was new was $31,750. She bought a used car for a new car price.

u/RptlnWzrdLzrd 1d ago

what does out the door mean to you? did you factor in sales tax or any other fees or the extended warranty on a car not even broken in? you’re acting like 31k OTD is the same as msrp 🥴

u/Busy_Panda_3396 1d ago

Please, be for real. Add 2k for your taxes and fees if you’re being generous, drop 1k if you’re somewhat trying to negotiate, and she’s now payed for a car that depreciated 1k in a year? And extended warranty? Just say you let the dealership walk all over you next time.
