2007 RX-8 Sport - how much is it worth?
#26
Here's the old autotrader listing for my car, where the dealer was trying to sell it for $20k:

No trade-in, no down payment. 72mo at 6.9%, which isn't the greatest rate by any means. No prepay penalty so I'll just pay the balance off in November.

Question: If you used Mazda financing, was that part of the reason you got such a good deal? Or did you negotiate the price separate from the financing? Were there any financing fees or was Mazda simply interested in your interest payments? What would the final price had been you had not financed through Mazda?

can't believe this thread is still alive.. even 08's will be selling 7k off msrp once 09's get here.
and yes, sounds like most people got ripped off buying them at msrp before, just deal with it!
same way you have to deal with not having that 3rd oil injector lubricating your middle apex..

The financing is through Chase bank with Ford on the papers. I don't know if Mazda finances through Ford, but they're owned by Ford, right? No financing fees as far as I'm aware, but I probably paid a couple of extra hundies in fees that I shouldn't have, plus I got the window etching. With TTL + window etching the whole thing was under 20k though; with 7% tax alone it's 18750 so I wasn't raped on the fees.

Yeah, someone else took the silver while RotoRocket was looking at it. Don't think it was a RX8Club person though. The price was negotiated before the financing; they quoted me 17.5k even before I decided to finance it. Maybe they never expected me to be able to get approved for it or what, but the dealer didn't seem all that interested in making the sale; apparently 3 people before me tried to finance it and couldn't get a loan (I was told this after I already had the car, so there was no incentive for lying).

The guy I talked to at the dealer was pretty cool.
I'm not sure how much they sold the silver for, and it did have a spoiler, which I didn't really want, but had that other person not bought it, I would have. They literally beat me to the punch by maybe 6 hours or so?
I would have gotten the 2nd best deal ever on a new 8 (after dter).
And one more thing, props to Dimitri for bringing this to OUR attention, rather than not saying anything at all. I told him that had I bought it, I was going to give him a hundie, when in reality, I was going to see if he'd let me take him out for a few beers, and I was going to insist on giving him 2 hundred.

Oh, and robrecht: if RotoRocket says it was required, I guess that was probably the case. To be honest, I didn't ask because I was definite that I was going to finance it, and I desperately needed a new car. My only concern was that there was no prepayment penalty on the financing and that the APR wasn't too high. 6.9% was OK with me because my credit isn't all that great, and I knew that I'd be able to pay off the balance after I started law school.

To be honest that APR isn't that bad for your situation heres why.
No Trade In, No Down Payment and Not so good credit. I figured your APR would be around the 8% Mark or even more, Last time I bought a new car I was in the same situation and I ended up paying around 9.5% Apr then around 6 months later I got it refinanced and got it down to 5.9%
