How much is the CX-9 these days?

Can you check the price of the new Mazda 6 full options while you are at Galadari?

the price for the Mazda CX-9 GT which is the midd-range 125800, comes with 20" wheels, sun roof, leather, i checked the price yesterday. it is not worth it for me to pay the extra 10k for Boss system and keyless entry / start and a power boot operation.
i know it is a softroader but i think it is not worth getting a proper 4x4 just for 4 trips to the desert or beach in 1 year and the other 361 days living with a bulky chunky unpractical unsafe vehicle? what do you think?

today i heard in the news that new car prices may drop in the next 2 months, did anyone hear this?

Feels like the prices will drop! Just by pure reason that the Dirham/Dollar has appreciated by 25% against Euro and 15% against the Yen!

I just came back from test driving the SRX, it is a very nice car i really liked it, it was in a very good condition smooth ride, nice power handling, low noise, many toys inside :) it had only one issue, the add and the seller mentioned 1 year warranty but he told me he made a mistake there is no warranty. i wouldent buy it without, too many thing can go wrong.
I keep waiting for the Market price to go low or buy now CX-9? eerrrrrhh

I made a mistake in the above statement.
The Yen has actually strengthened 15% (from 110 Yen to a dollar to 95 Yens to a dollar now) against the Dirham/Dollar, which means that Japanese cars should get more expensive. So, probably we will not see any price drops there...maybe even price increases.

One thing that really baffles me is the current world economics. Nothing makes sense anymore:
- lowest interest rates for years in USA, but dollar strengthens
- japan in recession officially and interest rates really low, but yen strengthens even more
- euro land has higher interest rates and less effected economies but the euro falls

Root,

I feel exactly like you, nothing makes sense but everything makes sense, there are some powerful people influencing these strange changes which has no relation to the normal market trends. in the end they are the winners and we the normal people are the losers. i predict the dollar will fall so badly in the next 3 to 6 months and all the other countries who pegged their currancy against the dollar will fall with it.

Maybe the car cleaner who you did not take washing service from?

Seems more love/hate related though.

A related story. Once a dealer told me that they get sometimes customers that would key a car parked in the showroom if they get pissed off at the dealer for not lowering the price to what they want.

I am guessing the story is only partially true, and they are probably pissed off at something else like being ripped off or cheated by the dealer.
