Well, you guys don't have to put up with BS from local dealerships. If local dealerships still have retarded add-ons or market-adjustment values, ditch them in a hurry. You can buy from another state or more distant dealership and have the car shipped to you. For example, buy from the NE area with $2400+ off, pay $700 shipping to your door step- You are still saving 1700+ off MSRP. That's the reason why I encourage everyone to post good deals around the country regardless of the area. Shipping isn't that expensive and paperwork can be done through the mail.

Here is a printed ad in NE region. 128 Mazda is also offering RX-8 below $25k. For those of you who havn't picked up the car yet, you can try to negotiate a better deal with this ad. Good luck.


btw: 2000 is still a pretty respectable sales number. If Mazda can sell $2000 every month, they'll reach 24000 in one year. In addition to excellent sales number from Japan, they should have little problem metting the 30,000 global goal.

 

Thanks, Skyline. Great advice!

 

RX-8 Sales for October - 2510 units.

 

Thanks. Ummm. Is that good or bad?

 

I think I got a good deal.
I got mine for $1300 off MSRP. No tax, I recall the Title and tag fee total being less than $100. (This was about 1 month ago 10/04/03)

 

I think good. September sales were 2105. 2510-2105= a 405 increase--about 20 %.

 

Dealers in Bham are only now in the mood to deal. Early on they were selling off of the truck. However, I searched and found that there were 117 RX8's within 35 miles and 8 with the specifications I wanted. The two dealers I worked each had 30 on the lot. Still only got $1500 off of MSRP but I'm a poor negotiator.
