After looking at various new cars over the past few months (and reading lots of great info in this forum), I have finally made the decision to buy an RX8. I have found my 'ideal' car in Vancouver - a brand new 2004 GT with only 150 km's - no sunroof or NAV. The sticker price is $40,000 and they will come down to $37,000.

Is this a good price for this car that is soon to be two model years old?

Thanks

 

sounds high to me, saying a 2005 GS brand new is 37000$

although, i dont know what car pricing is like over there, but i figured it was fairly standard everywhere

i would pass on that one unless they came down even more (but thats me :D)

 

Is it the blue one at signature?

 

That's the one.

 

Get it from mark henderson i was gonna buy it but it has 100 or so odd km on it. Its mint BUT here is the cetch when i took it for a test drive we didnt take the demo we took the blue one and while i driving it the check engine light was flashing for about 5 minz and i kept abusing it. I decided blue isnt my thing. IF you get it dont settle for anything less than 36500

 

i picked my Gt for $37 and that included a sunroof.. i test drove the blue one at signature wheit had 80kms on it.. ran well.. but it was blue and i was gettting a shitty trade- in deal..

go to west coast in PM and ask for Ben and mention my name Sarim and he'll hook you up... but dont forget to mention my name SARIM owner of the tit grey GT bought in feb ($100 refferal cheque)

 

No, definitely not a good price. That's a good price for a 2005 GT with only delivery mileage on it (ie 10 km), but for a one model year old car that has been used as a demo, I think $35K would be an absolute max. You should be able to get a 05 GT for $37K now.

Or you can go to metro mazda and get it at invoice by talking to rober quinn like i did (he is the sales manager) :D And that was over a year and half ago

 

They are now saying the can no longer offer the 2004 at that price (incentives for the 04's ended May 31), but can offer a 2005 for $37,000. All dealers are being very firm on the price and offering a max of $2500 off MSRP.

Thanks to all for the advice.

 

My car should be here by the end of next week. Can't wait.

In the end, I bought the car from my local dealer (Victoria). After my experience with Signature, I couldn't believe how fantastic they were. They quoted me a good price ($38,000 for a 2005 GT with m/r and all the 'extras' except taxes) without any games. Unfortunately, since I wanted Winning Blue (there were none left in BC and non available without the m/r), the car has to come from Alberta (the extra transport cost is reflected in the price). It seems the availability of some colours/options are limited.

Just a few more days . . . .

 

whats m/r?

 

m/r = moonroof

 

05 GT w/roof & nav $39,050 ($4900 off invoice) although they had 3 on the lot, probably why

 

LoL You mean 4900 off MSRP

 

sent you a PM pointer...
