Mazda is having a hard time moving inventory. I bought a new CX-5 Signature at the peak of the pandemic shortages with 0.9% financing and $1000 below MSRP.

I absolutely love the car. As absurd and silly as this sounds, it's far more Cayenne than RAV-4. My only complaint is that gas mileage is mediocre to poor.

One thing i've learned in life is, once you make a large purchase, like a house or car, etc. Just stop looking and researching, you'll only be disappointed

What you actually said:


Quote from Pga :
spend additional money in modifications to suspension and engine trying to improve performance when it void OEM warranty.

Not "voids part of the OEM warranty" just "void the OEM warranty" period.

But even if we PRETEND you didn't say what you actually did- and replace it with what you IMAGINE you said- you're still wrong.


It doesn't void ANY of the warranty. The entire warranty remains valid.

If you mod the engine, and you have an engine problem not caused by the mod, your warranty fixes the engine.

NOTHING gets "voided"

They just don't have to fix something YOU broke. Same as if you scratch your door with a screwdriver they don't have to cover that under warranty but it doesn't "void your warranty" on the rest of the paint either.



Why do you keep interpreting pointing out your posts are always factually false to be a personal attack?

Facts aren't personal.

Perhaps if you were more familiar with them you'd know that.

lol tomato, like I said if you mod the engine or suspension it will void the OEM warranty. Not the entire warranty vehicle. Modifying engine management will result in your powertrain warranty being voided. Modifying the suspension will void your suspension warranty.

The only thing Mangunson Moss Warranty act prevents is OEM declining warranty on unrelated system because you modified another. So they cannot decline warrantying your AC because your reflashed your ECU but your powertrain warranty is nonetheless shot.

Forgot to post in here last Fri to give others a data point.

In Portland, OR, I got a 2024 CX-5 Premium Plus with all-weather floor mats, cargo tray, back bumper protector, and front/back splash guards for $37.5K. Trade-in for my 2021 CS-5 Grand Touring was $23.5K (less than I think it was worth, but they were firm), and I qualified for the $500 customer loyalty bonus from Mazda.

Since they deferred the first payment three months (part of the 0% promo), I put down the value of those three payments and will pay myself back for the next three months, meaning I'm effectively zero out of pocket. My payment went up $9/mo for a three year newer vehicle with one killer feature (native wireless Android Auto).

This is my second trade-in of a 2-3 year old vehicle for a new one (previous monthly payment increase was $4). I'm keeping the dream alive of being able to combine enough offers to actually lower my payment.
lol..you have a car payment that never ends. Not smart.

Both of these claims are factually untrue.

There's not even such a thing as a "separate" suspension warranty to BE voided.

This is factually untrue.

It denies declining warranty coverage on ALL systems unless you can prove the problem in question was caused by a modification.

In which case they aren't required to cover that problem

The warranty in part and in whole remains 100% valid otherwise. Nothing is 'voided' as you claim.

You know how I know you never modified a car? Because you are clearly clueless what happens when you mod a car under warranty. Powertrain warranty will be voided with engine modification, suspension portion of the warranty with coil overs.

The dealership will used the modifications as basis of presenting you the full bill to fix it. Then YOU have to take THEM to court to prove their basis of declining coverage was incorrect. Good luck, tomato.

There is no such thing as a "suspension portion" of a new car warranty my dude. A new vehicle warranty can not be "voided" in parts and pieces. That's not a thing.

Neither is "voiding" a warranty simply for the presence of aftermarket parts. That is explicitly illegal.

You are making up 100% utter nonsense and ignoring the actual text of the law.

I love that you dismissed a dozen actual news sources proving you wrong on sales numbers, sourcing to government registration data.

But now suddenly "a couple of randos from a car forum" is a valid source for you.


Anyway, here's the actual government telling you you're wrong too.


https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles...%20vehicle.
Quote from FTC :
Your warranty stays in effect if you use aftermarket or recycled parts
Simply installing an aftermarket part can not void your warranty
Not in whole, and certainly not in part for things you just made up like the "suspension warranty" that doesn't even exist as a thing.
Contrary to your false claims otherwise.

They go on to note that if such a part damages the car, THAT DAMAGE is not covered- with the burden of proof on the dealer to do so.
But nothing in the warranty is ever "voided" by any of this.

If you remain unclear here's the actual government again telling you this:
https://www.ftc.gov/business-guid...y-warnings
Quote from FTC :
companies can't void a consumer's warranty or deny warranty coverage solely because the consumer uses a part made by someone else
In fact they directly cite the actual law (something you were unable to do with your factually untrue claims about station wagons because you just made up an imaginary law there)-
Quote from Mag-Moss Warranty Act :
No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumer's using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade, or corporate name.
In other words denyng warranty simply for the installation of an aftermarket part is a violation of federal law

I mean, I've just accepted I'm always going to have a car payment because I greatly enjoy/appreciate driving a nice vehicle. It's a little odd to me that people will call me out while being fine with people who pay off 5-year notes and either trade in shortly after or start saving toward their next down payment. All those scenarios have effectively non-ending payments, but my max vehicle age is 2-3 years as opposed to their 5+ with a negligible cost difference: I've traded twice from 2018 to today, and my payment has gone up a total of $14/mo with no money out of pocket. Just takes a little effort to track incentives and equity.

Of course, if someone doesn't prioritize having newer features/benefits as much as me, there are obviously lower-cost ways to own a vehicle; I covered that in a previous post. But it's worth it to me.

you google-fu is still weak Tomato. Surprised it took you this long to find the FTC this long. Not surprised you don't know FTC is addressing aftermarket OE part and used OE/OEM parts, not ones that alter original performance or functions as designed by the manufacturer.

You also forgot to quote this part of the FTC
Quote :
But if someone installs a defective aftermarket or recycled part, or doesn't install a part correctly, it could damage a part that the warranty covers. If that happens, the manufacturer or dealer can deny warranty coverage for the damaged part and charge you for repairs. The manufacturer or dealer must prove the aftermarket or recycled part caused the damage before they can deny warranty coverage.
So again the dealership will use the modifications, out of OE spec aftermarket parts, as basis of presenting you the full bill to fix it. Then YOU have to take THEM to court to prove their basis of declining coverage was incorrect. Good luck, tomato.

General Motors does not warranty non-GM parts, calibrations, and/or software modifications. The use of parts, control module calibrations, software modifications, and/or any other alterations not issued through General Motors will void the warranty coverage for those components that are damaged or otherwise affected by the installation of the non-GM part, control module calibration, software modification, and/or other alteration.

This bulletin outlines the procedures to identify the presence of non-GM (aftermarket) calibrations. GM recommends performing this check whenever a hard part failure is seen on internal engine, transmission, transfer case or rear axle components, and before disassembly, repair or replacement of an engine, transmission, transfer case or rear axle assembly under warranty. It is also recommended that the engine calibration verification procedure be performed whenever diagnostics indicate that an exhaust after-treatment system component replacement is necessary.

official statement by GM on warranty blocks supported by federal gov (NHTSA) where this warranty block bulletin is posted. You don't know what you speak of. You lost the argument. End of story.

Not surprised you're once again making up things the FTC didn't actually say at all in either link.

What they actually said is the opposite of your claim.

You can't be denied warranty simply for using aftermarket parts period

They make no distinction at all between "original performance" and otherwise-- you, as with everything you post- just made that up out of wholesale nonsense.


Quote from Pga :

That part literally agrees with what I said and contradicts you

"the manufacturer or dealer can deny warranty coverage for the damaged part"

Right.

They can deny covering the part YOUR MOD BROKE.

The rest of the warranty remains valid

So when you claimed mods could "void" your warranty that was factually untrue.

When you then moved the goalposts to "voiding your suspension warranty" (an imaginary thing you made up) that was also factually untrue.


Why do you only ever post untrue things?

I bought Friday, and base MSRP (before accessories) on my Premium Plus in Metallic Grey was $38,470. I got that down to $37,500.

Tax, registration, and title varies so much between locations that it's almost not worth listing. For example: I live in a state without sales tax, so I might completely skew expectations for people in 48 other states. And I had a tag transfer done instead of a new registration (see below).
  • Mazda doesn't seem to factor as much of a profit into their MSRP as some other brands (specifically Toyota and Subaru in my experience). I'd walk into many brands expecting 8-10% off MSRP, but 2-5% has been my experience with Mazda. This is reflected in their manufacturer incentives: some brands (like GM) will routinely run $5K+ cash back around holidays. The highest I've ever seen from Mazda is $2K, and it's normally $500-1,000. Of course, if they give me more on my trade-in, I'm fine paying more on the new side (no sales tax, so I don't care).
  • If your state allows it, you can save money by having your tags transferred instead of doing a new registration. Oregon has high registration rates, and I think the dealership charges a fee for the work, so the difference was $500+ for me. I already paid for the registration period, might as well get full value.

Got 8% off MSRP for CX50 few weeks ago, and left 10% off for Outback

The highest I've ever seen from Mazda is $2K, and it's normally $500-1,000. Of course, if they give me more on my trade-in, I'm fine paying more on the new side (no sales tax, so I don't care).
  • If your state allows it, you can save money by having your tags transferred instead of doing a new registration. Oregon has high registration rates, and I think the dealership charges a fee for the work, so the difference was $500+ for me. I already paid for the registration period, might as well get full value.
You got a very poor deal
