For 09 RX-8s

3.9% APR for up to 60 MONTHS PLUS $500 Customer Cash (6) OR
4.9% APR for up to 72 MONTHS PLUS $500 Customer Cash (19)

and for 08s

$4,000 Customer Cash (1) OR
1.9% APR for up to 60 MONTHS PLUS $500 Customer Cash (3) OR
2.9% APR for up to 72 MONTHS PLUS $500 Customer Cash (16)

the 0% for some of the other models is pretty sweet and would be nice but these rates and the cash are pretty good for the 8

 

I saw $10,000 off of the CX7 at the dealer the other day. Not sure what year it was for.
But this is pretty good pricing on the '08 RX8.

 

The Driver's seat event has been going on for 3-4 weeks. it was last month's promotion thats supposed to end on March 2nd. Either the feedback is good or Sales is still horrible, thats why its still here.

I expect some even more "crazy" deals coming next month.

Im looking at a 08 RX8 (I still dont like the R3's look), lets see what kind of deal they have next month if its good, I am going to trade mine in for that.

 

Test drove an R3 today. The salesman of course was a complete moron and knew knothing about the car, but he actually showed me the sheet the salesmen get for current incentives on all vehicles. There was probably something on there I shouldn't have seen, which was a column for every Mazda vehicle and most of the boxes had $1500 written in them. It didn't register until I left, but could that number be the kickback to the dealer for every car sold? If thats the case, $1000 below invoice should be easily attainable for an R3.

 

(says to self) "car will be paid off, no more car payment, must resist new car smell, must resist new car smell..."

 

Im saying that to myself too ...

but there is another voice right now inside my head ...

its telling me ...

"New car smell r0x0rz ... New engine r0x0rz ... New ... "

*shurgs*

I need to see a doctor.

 

I got 1.9% when I bought my 06 in 06. Granted it was for 48 months but I figure the incentives would have been bigger - especially now that interest rates are a lot lower.

 

I agree. These incentives are nothing to get excited about. They are going to have to improve in the coming months.

 

If they offer any cash back more than 5000 or 0.0 % APR for 60-72 months on the 08. Im going to jump right on it.

 

After much agonizing about getting another 8 or going to the 370, I just like the 8 too much to give it up, so I have started to gather quotes from any dealer within 200 miles of me that had any R3s in stock.

1st quote that came back to me was 28,010 + TTL MSRP is 32,600. I was actually a little shocked it was that low. I'll wait for all other quotes to see how those compare.

 

You can go much lower than 1,000$. I managed to pressure them to lower my touring from 30k to 26k.

What I find funny though is, if you ask about the R3, they tell you "oh yes, that's a very rare car, very rare, limited edition, only a small amount were made"

 

you can go MUCH lower than that. Tell them 26 or you walk. Trust me they will get back to you.

(I love the 8 as well, but honestly speaking, they're NOT selling well, so yea, u should be able to get a decent deal out of it.)

rofl. yes its 2009 limited shinka revolution epic 1337 edition with V6 and full body kit.

 

I got my 40th anniversary at $6,000 off

 

Trust me. Ive heard that one too. And they obvoiusly thought I was an uneducated buyer when they even went as far as saying it was the only one in the state and in turn expected me to pay near sticker.

As of now, I might be willing to pay $27K, but I might wait a couple of months when the offers get even better because Im sure the economy will not improve at all. I actually want to go into a dealership and tell them there is no way you are selling that car anywhere near sticker. I know people are afraid of the rotary engine and know about the lack of power and **** poor MPG. Plus the fact that the 8 might have one of the smallest niche markets ever (for an affordable car). So there will be very few buyers for these. I think Im gonna do it when the offer is right. The 370s looks just dont do it for me so I dont think I can make the switch to nissan.

 

well if you're willing to pay $27K, just get them to include a sh*tload of add ons/accessories

 

only 1 in the states ? .... LOL !

 

So $5k right off the top for a new 2008 RX-8, not to mention the haggling buyer's market. Nice!

On the flip side, our 8's are worth even less (cash, but not personal value of course).

 

LOL must resist wanting an R3!

 

One around here Selling for almost 8 grand under MSRP.

its a loaded GT with Nav and rear wing.

I wait until Mazda gives out better deal.

if its selling 10 grand under MSRP plus Mazda 5+ grand cash and or 0% for 60 months. I hit that buy button right now.

 

If Mazda offers $4k+ cash back and a real low rate on an R3 then I might jump.

 

I swear they had some better deal during Jan, it was something like 1K customer cash + 1K loyalty cash for mazda owners and 1.9% for 36 or 48 months or something.

they changed it in Feb, I was like , nawWWWWWWWWWWW

hehehe, After all the poor sales news going on ... Im fairly sure after this month. something even better will come out.

 

08 incentives look decent, but the 09 incentives are only mildly entertaining, if even... most ppl can negotiate down $500 and get 4.9% financing from their bank or credit union easily- considering that the federal funds rate is now, what, 0%?

mazda ain't going to move many 09 8's with those incentives...

 

hell yea, consider they STILL HAVE quite a few 08 left. they are NOT going to move those 09.

Next month. Next month ... about 3 weeks ...

 

Due to the economy though the deal would have to be great! Hmmm what color would I get No must resist!!!

 

Looks like Ill be able to get an r3 for less than I paid for my 04 GT. Got my '04 for 500 under invoice. Paid about 29k with a sticker around 32k. The first quote I got on an r3 amounts to about 1500 under invoice. With a little patience it could still get a lot better. NOBODY is buying these cars.
