I was building an RX8 on mazda.com and I noticed that the car costs $27,200 with no options. I originally thought it was $26,500 about. Did Mazda do this a while ago and I just failed to notice it or is this recent?

well the base is cheaper on that website... it just defaults to 6 speed.

-Starting Jan. 8th, buyers can pre-order online (I guess that's one way to keep dealers from charging more than MSRP).

-Price for the base automatic transmission car will be $25,180 U.S.

-Price for the base 6 spd car will be $26,680 U.S.

-Price for a fully loaded (except NAV) vehicle will be around $30,000 U.S.

-Expect NAV to be available on shortly after the initial cars are made, costing appox. $1700 U.S., making the everything under the sun car cost below $32,000 U.S.

-Warranty is 4yr/50k miles, 5 yr corrosion, 4 yr roadside 24/365 in the U.S. and Canada. And for all 2004 Mazda vehicles, appropriate loaners will be available for any warranty work.

-There was no mention of HP/TQ, but that has been about as well kept of a secret as the warranty and release dates.

See it was originally $26,630 for the base 6 speed, but now it is $27,200.

i priced a car out to my ordered specs and it came to the same price

I know it prices out the same. The base price is higher, thats all.

sorry cue i read your post wrong. isn't it strange tho that the base is higher but the totals remain the same? that doesnt seem right:confused: it was $26,680 before.

I believe the base price is the same as always... the 27,200 listed includes the destination charge which is normally around $500.

If you enter a zipcode on the initial page it adds destination fee, otherwise it leaves it off, hence different prices

OF COURSE! jeez we've been thru this before:o :o the destination charge is added in to the base. and they wont let continue without a zip code now(or at least it wouldn't let me) i'm going to go bang my head against a wall now:o :o
