Pricing Guidance

This section offers a very useful formula to help you calculate the best deal. 

Your Best Deal = Invoice Price – Your Eligible Incentives + Member Markup

You will find that this section also details the different markup categories and helps you understand which you fall into. For instance, the markup margin could drastically change depending on whether there are any sales, inventory clear outs or if you’re opting for a high volume model. The markup margin is typically between 5% to 8% for most premium, luxury and high-demand-low-supply models.   

Factory Incentives

Those juicy incentives that your dealer may not always tell you about! These factory-to-dealer incentives reduce the cost the dealer pays to the manufacturer to own the vehicle. They are available on a regional basis and for certain models.  Such types of incentives work on a don’t-ask-don’t-tell basis; meaning, dealers are not obligated to reveal these rebates to customers. It’s up to you to negotiate in order to benefit from them. Depending on the incentive and the dealership in question, these may run as high as $2,000.  These may include; First Time Owner’s Program, Grad Awards, Clearout Events, Mobility Programs and the likes.   

Lease and Finance Rates

The report also details factory lease and Scotiabank finance rates for the chosen make and model. This is one of the most beneficial sections as it gives you an insight into long-term car payments and helps you accordingly budget for your vehicle. Car Cost Canada is always updating its system with the latest rates so that you receive real-time information that you can use to your advantage.   

Other Incentives

This section covers; Clearout Event Consists of a pre-tax cash rebate or a winter tire rebate.  Owner Loyalty A 1% rate reduction for current Mazda owners and family members residing at the same address that finance or lease a new Mazda.
