He wants you to buy the car NOW because he wants his commission NOW. He's afraid if you wait, you'll buy the car from another salesperson or dealer.

You should wait and pay cash. You'll get a better deal and also have more time to find exactly what YOU want. Never believe what a car salesman tells you.

If you pay cash, they earn less, dealerships hate to see ppl pay cash. When you finance it, they also get interest rate.

Production actually stopped in June of 2003. Sales have just been so poor that they've been unloading leftover '04s for 2 years now.

Actually, the one I drove, someone got out of it right before me, and someone got in right after me- and they have been out of 05's for quite some time... =)

I don't think this guy will lie to me, as he is a business associate for an e-commerce project we are working on. I will take your guy's advice though and check around other dealerships- I appreciate the feedback, makes me feel a lot better.

Lets just say i hope you are all right, because I do want to wait a few months and not have to feel rushed.

Don't worry, you'll be able to find one but then again you'll have an 8less summer. Also, only buy the car outright if it's a drop in the bucket. It's better financially to make payments and do something smarter with the cash. Like buy a house or invest it.

Either way, don't worry...the way RX-8s are selling, there will be plenty of them left on lots in 4 months even if they did stop production.
This is true. My sales rep tried to tell me:"Get it tonight cuz tomorrow a different manager will be here and you might not get financed." I told him to kiss my ***! and I'll be by tomorrow with my Girl to see what she thinks.

That's absolutely NOT true. You can pay it off on the FIRST payment. Impossible to revoke your rebate because you already got it when when you signed for the car. If you wait for three payments, you've actually given most of the rebate back to Mazda via interest.

finance now to get the rebates, then burn em in 4mos & pay it off. $1500 in rebates when I bought mine a few weeks ago. ('05 though)
DEFINITELY pit at least 2 dealers against each other, you'll get the best price & the added bonus of telling one or more sleazy MF's where to stick their "not making anymore" BS. right up their assy

Yeah. Come to think of it, that's where I learned that move to. Down+C. I never used Johnny Cage cause he sucked. I was always Lui Kang. Remember the blood code? Down-Up-Left-Left-A-Right-Down = DULLARD!

MORTAL KOMBAT!

That is all.

sorry, but I had to add another sleezy salesman comment (and yes, this came from the Sales Manager)....

I had already agreed to a deal in principal. Showed up and laid down my VISA platinum for a very substantial down payment (I wanted the frequent flyer miles.....sue me....)) Sales Manager told me he couldn't accept a VISA payment for a car cause he couldn't be sure he would receive the funds. He starts with "well, you know how hard it is to deal with credit card companies"

I didn't hear the rest of his speech as he was staring at my *** walking out the front door while he continued to pontificate........)

I appreciate the advice, but I won't need to do that =). My company will contact all the dealers in the area and negotiate the price for me... Then they will call me and say heres your car, want it? Actually, an associate of mine just got a 2006 mx5 GT and got it for about 500 above dealer invoice. Didn't even test drive it first, just signed the papers and drove it afterwards. They will do all the paperwork, and all I have to do is walk in and sign... Whats always hallarious is how the sales rep always has a 'that was YOU?!?' look on his face when you come in.
