I got a a/t brand new rx8 with g/t pakage sticker was $32,000 and i got it for $25,000 on the road, good deal? hahahahhaha

 

Why are you laughing? Because you think you ripped off the dealer? Think again because they got you to buy an AT. Hahahahaha, just kidding!

Anyway, I believe the expression is "out the door," not "on the road."

 

Good job and enjoy the car they are alot of FUN!!

 

I'm pretty sure that 05's are already selling for around 25k... I dont think you got the "killer" deal you think you got.

 

got 6-speed 05 model with gt package and spare tire for 24.7k

Just to be fair - this was a new dealership and they had the extra cash support to send this car out the door. Flood Mazda, RI (funny name for a rx-8 dealer, now that I think about it).

Bodi

 

When people last year were paying 3 to 4K more for the same car and people will be paying at least 2.5K more for basically the same car as an 06, I think you did pretty well. Enjoy the ride.

 

Yeah, don't be bitter cause he got a good deal. Even though a good number of people are getting those deals, it's still a great deal.

 

I got mine in Nov. sticker was over 32K. got it for 25K out the door. oh yeah, btw its a 6 speed red gt

 

My deal was in the same price range. Mine was a new '04 6MT Touring sitting on the lot in Jan. 05. I negotiated $23,500 and told them no way I'd pay the doc fee of $300. After working the deal pretty hard the salesman came back and said "they won't let me do it without the $300 doc fee." I probably should have walked out, but by that time I had RX-8 fever and I knew I was making the salesman work hard. So I said OK. I just figure I paid $23.8 and I'm happy as a clam with the car.

As a former salesman I know you never get the best of the dealer. A good deal is when both parties are happy, so I got a good deal. Another lesson I learned from selling is once you make the deal - never look back.

 

I got my '05 MT GT w/spoiler and 6-cd for $23.5 brand new...great price, great car Enjoy it!

 

I got my rx8 at 20% off of msrp. It was actually a sweet deal. I got the 100,000 mile warranty because i am a wuss after tax tag and title i payed 28900

 

An AT? I wouldn't be laughing

 

25,000 for an AT is standard now. I think almost any Mazda dealer ould give that price on an GT A/T without Nav.

 

I just searched online for the inventory at my local dealership, and the most expensive one on the lot is just over 28k.

 

**** anyone remember the price of the rx-8 when it FIRST came out....

 

that happens with everything dude. When things are first released they are always expensive and then prices drop down to realistic levels.

Case in point the Razr Phone. I remember when it was just out some idiots bought it for $1000 and they can't give that phone away free.

 

That is all the 05 is worth now, because it's a year old, but for those who are looking for a hot car for a super price, this is the way to go. The money you save is simply before you drive it off lot, as opposed to after you have owned it for a while. As long as you plan on keeping the car for many years, you reek the benefits of buying a leftover model, and truly save that money Unfortunately, deals like this are why the rx8 is becoming very bad at retaining it's value. Either way, congrats, and enjoy.

 

Mazda has a history of shafting its previous customers like this. Two years ago I bought my Protege5 with leather, moonroof, CD6, ABS for $13,400. MSRP was $18995. Just a few months earlier people were paying $17,500 to $18,500 for the car. Then Mazda started throwing big incentives on the car to clear the lots ahead of the Mazda3.

New or slightly used, the RX-8 is an amazing value any way you look at it. If you don't like the rate of depreciation, then buy a nearly new one.

 

God. 6-speeders are £22K list here, and rarely sell for below £20K new.

The US has CHEAP cars - and I think cars are too cheap in the UK!

 

Congrats on your new 8! You'll enjoy the heck out of it. I'm still treating mine like royalty!
