And bought myself an 8! Thought you were going to see my car broke down eh?
I bought it in Escondido at Cush Mazda in California. I used the costco member discount witch set the price 500 over invoice. I didn't think that was too shabby.
I've been lurking for months and I finally feel like I actually belong here.

great now your a true rx8 club member ! what options did you get?

Photic

6 Speed, Nav, GT, Titanium with Black Interior.
Tried to keep it simple and lower in price
The other options that I want (spoiler, Mp3 player) I figure I'll pick up later.

Man, I couldn't sleep last night, it taunts you in the driveway.

Welcome to the Cult!

Photic

I'll need to grab my info from the car but I recall roughly after lojack and extended warranty
and taxes it was mid 32k, I think at invoice it was 30.4 with the options I wanted

Congrats on the 8, but you paid too much. "Invoice" is kind of like what "is", "is". There is manufactur invoice, dealer invoice and 3rd party invoice. Manufacator is the price the dealer pays Mazda, Dealer invoice is manufactuor plus dealer prep, ads, parking, admin fees, Etc. 3rd party fee (like COSTCO) is Manufactor invoice plus dealer invoice plus 3rd party fee. It looks good on paper, but it ain't. You still did get a good deal. Their are people in LA paying $2k - 3K over invoice. I paid 28.9k for my black 8 with the same stuff you got plus lo-jack and areo flares. I got mine from the Police & Fire Auto Program (http://www.policeandfireauto.com/) they deal direct with dealers, they don't have a preset price like COSTCO.

Again Congrats, hope to see you on the road

Welcome to the cult!

Photic

Thank you for the warm welcome guys =)
Doh! Sounds like you got a pretty good deal scubacap, too bad I didn't read about that before.
But I feel pretty good about my purchase, I didn't have any credit and they gave me a
lower monthly payment then my bank could have done. I got the monthly amount I was
looking for and I now have a giant rock of crack with 4 tires. My parents told me their
payment is about 10$ lower per month for financing a 26k car and their credit score is in the 700's

You got a better deal than me. I paid sticker with no discount BUT I was one of the first ones. Pays to wait huh?

Photic

Personally I would have loved to get one when it first came out, but it takes money to be exclusive I think being able to drive it for a year would be worth the extra cost in waiting

Yo Photic, welcome to the club. I got mine also at Cush exactly one year ago today. I think the sales rep was Barb, and her husband marv is some bigwig in the Mazda cult. Did you take their standard test drive route past the chicken coops, etc? You gonna luv ur new baby, so congrats on taking the plunge.

Jeffjett

Hate to ask a stupid question, but are there alot of members here that don't own 8"s?

Photic

Yeah in fact it was Barb and she did take me past the chicken coops, she mentioned that they have one and love it as well. We discussed the RX8 alot and she asked if I was a member of some another forum I hadn't heard of, so I told her about this one she said she was going to check it out.

You might want to check up on the invoice prices. 6MT + GT + Navi is just around 30k. I bought mine at invoice, and that is the price I paid too.

Check for yourself, it'll add up to $30,235 (including $500 dest)
