Thnx.

Well this is what happened to me. I went in looking for the 04 they posted on cars.com. But they said they had no used so they took me to their garage where all the cars are stocked (liek "Gone in 60 Secs" when tehy go in the Ferrari garage). There i saw like 20 8's standing in different color and packages. He said to pick one and i chose the red ofcourse. But i said my limit is under $20k and he said "ok dont worry about that" or something. And after i chose the one (and 06 touring with 5 miles on it) we drove out and thats when i got my test drive. And after alot of stuff we discussed about the price which he told me would be less than $20k, was $26,995. He said he would take down $3k, which i thought was bs, cus i told him my price before we got there. So even though it was good deal i couldn't afford it. So after a long day i was sad and left.

Don't go in with a set monthly payment.... you concentrate too much on that and the dealer could hose you on other things, like the down payment. Take a calculator and add up the whole package.

Here's what you do...
Go to the Mazdausa website and either build an RX 8 and at the end you can estimate monthly payments or right from the start on the left it says Estimate Payments and plug in all the info. New car interst rates can be from 0-7%...depends on your credit etc. I just plug in worst case scenario. This gives you an idea of what it may cost at the price...it is an estimate. Good luck. Probably in about 3-6 months you may be able to buy an '04 for $15,000-16,000.
Good luck!undefined

In my area, dealers only have couple 8s in their lot, so I think they are not gonna give me 24k...
The dealer put the ad on cars.com to make you there, and force you to take a test drive, after all sit down and start the number game. that's how they sell cars and it's a procedure. So be smart and cool, don't let them warm up your heart!

for the 06 is gonna be more than 23k. see if you can find any new05 left in your area and that could go as low as 20k. For used, I'll go for 05, although the people have 04 always say they have no issue on their car, a 05 make me feel better and is one year younger :P
