Advice on 2026 CX-5 Discount (Canada)

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy a new 2026 CX-5 GT Premium and trade in my 2016 CX-5 GS AWD. I got the offer in the photo from one dealership.

Another dealership verbally offerred to lower the finance cap costs to $45,000 (but need to buy within the next 10 days or so). This dealership haven’t provided an offer sheet yet (not until we’re sitting down next week) since he’s not at work today (he took my call from home on his day off). He mentioned on the phone that he’s willing to boost the trade-in value to around $13,000 and offer an additional cash discount of $2,500 (not sure if the math makes sense).

Now, is the $45,000 a good offer? Should I keep trying other dealerships or is $45,000 likely the best offer I’ll get for this CX-5.

I’m in no rush to buy a new vehicle since my old CX-5 currently sits below 120k km and works fine, but I like the new 2026 CX-5 and wouldn’t want to lose out on the $45,000 deal (assuming it’s a deal).

Thank you in advance!

Does emailing/calling dealerships still work to get deals?

Saw some older posts on here recommending emailing/calling dealerships ahead of time to negotiate some sort of deal and wondering if that still holds in 2026.

I'm in the GTA and looking at leasing a 2026 Tiguan for 2 years (Putting aside the lease aspect being not financially smart - I don't want to drive a Corolla and the vehicles I want to own are too overpriced or gas hungry so this is an in-between to wait until the vehicles I like start developing more efficient/hybrid engines which are announced to come out ~2028/29) and the monthly payments are ~$200 more than a comparable lease payment for a 2026 CRV.

If I email/call ahead and ask if they can negotiate the payments to match closer to the CRV and I'll sign the papers same day is that still a valid strategy?

Herbicide treatment Aug 28th - Casablanca, Lakelawn, and Vineyard valley park

As part of the Town's ongoing commitment to protecting and restoring natural areas, Invasive Phragmites treatment will be taking place in select locations on August 28.Invasive Phragmites is an aggressive invasive reed that spreads rapidly, crowding out native vegetation, reducing wildlife habitat, and impacting wetlands and shorelines. Dense stands can also restrict water flow, interfere with stormwater infrastructure, and reduce the effectiveness of stormwater ponds and drainage channels designed to help manage flooding and protect water quality.

Treatment will be completed by qualified, licensed contractors using a Health Canada-approved herbicide in accordance with all applicable provincial regulations and environmental best management practices. Temporary signage will be posted in treatment areas before and after application. Please respect all posted notices and avoid entering treatment areas until signage has been removed.

Managing invasive Phragmites helps restore native vegetation, improve wildlife habitat, maintain the function of stormwater infrastructure, and protect the long-term health of Grimsby's natural areas.

Thank you to the u/niagaracommunityfoundation for their support in funding this initiative, and for the community's patience and cooperation as we work to protect Grimsby's natural environment!

Christian Labour Association of Canada and Mohawk College plan $25M trades training centre in Grimsby

"Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC), with support from Mohawk College, is going to build a training facility at the union’s South Service Road site near Christie Street in Grimsby."

“We’re going to replace (the existing structure) with what will be a 40,000-square-foot (3,700-square-metre) facility to meet the growth that we’ve had in this place over the last few years and to make way for the training centre that we hope to build with Mohawk,” said CLAC provincial director Ian DeWaard."

"The first phase will see a new union building go up on a large piece of green space behind CLAC’s existing facility."

"Once that’s finished, the old 1,300-square-metre building will be torn down and the Mohawk training centre will be built on the northeast side of the property."
