Just to clarify some wording in a Car Cost Canada report:
Mazda Retail Cash/Factory to Dealer Rebate
This is a discount that is only applied when paying cash for a vehicle?
Probably means in lieu of subvented financing. Take the cash or low rates not both.
GM used to have a program back in late '08 or so where it didn't apply on cash deals, only non-subvented bank finance. I had a few old timers pretty choked that to get the $5k they'd have to take out a loan, then pay it off after 30 days.
