That is a good deal, although I think I'd make certain about the taxes end of it. Are you buying from Penkus? That's who I got mine from. (I see you're stationed at Ft. Carson). They were quite good to deal with, I wouldn't hesitate to go back there for another car. If you are stationed at Ft Carson, P/M me about the Rocky Mountain Club!
Thanks!

ok.. does out the door mean after financing?. cuz now the dealer is telling me its 28,765.00 after taxes and dealership fees.. but not after financing.. now im not too sure about the car.. i feel like im going to get ripped off

I've never heard of "out the door meaning anything more than price+taxes. Any "dealer fees" added above the destination charge should be excluded (negotiable).

Re-reading your original post, however, I'd say you're getting a pretty good deal -- $27000 for the 6MT Sport is OK. I paid $26900 for mine, but it also included the spare tire and floormats.

I think Colorado Springs will probably be a bit more expensive market than Montgomery AL, though...

The amount of "finance charges" you'll end up paying will depend on the APR and the term. I f you're able to get anywhere close to 4% or less you're doing rather well (ther aren't any incentives right now).

im pretty sure i have good credit. im 21 and have aboe 700 on credit rating. and im planning to put down like 8Gs as the down payment. i dont know how much the apr is. but i will have to finance it for 5 years if im giong to get it..i really like the car. but i was also thinking of the mazda 3 just because its more affordable. but i dont think im doing that well in getting the price lower. cuz it hasn't dropped. that was his initial price. 28,765.00 before financing.. if anyone in the colorado area wants to help me find a good deal on a new rx8 with the sports package i'd very much appreciate it..

MaCh-8

how much do you guys pay average on monthly car payments?

rotary-convert

$29,700 for mine....thats 6 speed, appearance pkg, rotary accents, spoiler, grand tourning package and all weather floor mats....
i had the s-plan and college grad discount...imo..good price for what i'm getting
i didn't lease it from the dealer, rather i used a loan from USAA to pay for 2/3 of it......i did the math and i'll be averaging 528 a month(including insurance) w/ 3.59 % interest for 3.5 years
i can hold the payments for a year if i want though.....
its good to still be single

blue flash

i paid$ 32,500 it is winning blueanr has everything viking d has including the all weather mats,leather haeted seats,cargo mat $75 over invoice

legokcen

$27,870 for a Nordic Green Touring 6-spd with a spoiler. Used the S-plan and got it for $26 under invoice. They still made about $526 from the Mazda kickback they got for selling the car. Also 3.5% financing. I was pretty happy since I didn't have to negotiate at all. I found the car I wanted, and they told me it was still on the boat getting to America so I had to wait about 3 weeks for it, but it was over the Christmas holidays so when I got back, I had a great Christmas present.

uab

Whats the S-plan?

legokcen

It stands for Supplier Plan. If your place of work does any business with Mazda or Ford (since Ford owns 35% of Mazda), or has a purchase deal with them, the employees can purchase vehicles at a very low no-haggle price. S-plan prices are right around invoice.

Mazda's term for it is S-Plan, Ford's term for it is X-Plan.

Morning Wood

can you guys specify an OTD price? if not just let us know if this is OTD or not. some of these numbers are confusing as hell.

Apathy Curve

$635.00 over invoice + TTL. But then I gave them a very well-maintained, low-mileage Trans Am at button-on the KBB value, which is considerably lower than NADA value. So, all things considered, it's a wash-- except that I no longer have to put up with a POS General Motors product that starts losing parts in a strong wind. :D

Look on edmunds.com for invoice prices of all cars. What you are talking about is "holdback money" every brand of cars has a different % of the invoice as hold back money. Say its 3% , then take 3% of invoice and subtract that from invoice and that is the true invoice price that price the dealers pay for the car. The hold back money is given back to dealers to pay for intrest payments as car sits on lot. Dealers will not deal away that holdback money I am told. The longer a car sits on lot the less a dealer makes. Depends what company you buy from the last 3 new fords I bought I bought at invoice less my full trade price. I just bought a new RX8 but could not buy it at invoice but did get a good deal. I got 14,400 dollars as trade in for a 2001 mustang contv. Payed 32,900 less that amount. You have to shop around and be willing to walk out the door. Just got car tonight, really neat machine, hope wife lets me drive it ).

Correct. Anyone posting the price paid must mention if that figure is before or after Tax, Tags & Title.

bowman

Why would you include taxes and tags in the price? Those are paid separately when you license the vehicle.

Maximus

correct. Thats why when someone posts a price they need to mention if the it is before or after tax/title etc so that readers can get the actual price paid for the car.

Moloko9

Before Taxes? $0.00 :D

i would like to know if im getting a good deal.. its a winning blue rx8 with a sports package, appearance package, 6cd changer, spoiler, car tray and net.. for $28,063+500 D&H. with taxes it comes out to $29800 near that.. and im planning on putting down 11k on the car. and paying monthly payment. i think i can get about 4% on interest for 60 months.. is this a good deal?

porschegeorg

$26,211 for a velocity red 6-speed with the sport package.
I then paid $120 in title fees and 6.75% sales tax.

Mat

Paid 32,000$ out of the door (including 9% sales tax) for 6MT, GT, MP3, appearance, spoiler, rotary accents.

IndyJayhawk

I am paying a little over $33,000 for the RX-8 I pickup Saturday. I'm driving down to Indy to get it. The local dealer here has $40,000 on his car. The car will have everything but the navigation computer.

blue flash

$32,000 CASH out the door

Chief

First question - Is it a manual or automatic? If it is a manual I would say it's a decent deal, if it's an automatic I would keep looking for a better deal

samatnyc

I gave the dealer a choice of selling me one of a couple RX-8's , but the most I would pay was $250 over invoice. That worked.
