Best (worst?) I've seen so far is a $2000 dealer profit sticker. Anyone seen $5K? $10K?

ST.James 08-05-2003, 11:01 AM on the 1st day at the irvine mazda dealership I saw it bumped up six gs brothervoodoo 08-05-2003, 11:48 AM Couple weeks ago, I saw additional markup above MSRP of $7995.... antman_x 08-05-2003, 06:45 PM My sticker had a $7K markup over MSRP. They even had it written to look like the red/black leather was dealer installed when it's just part of the package. My deal was about $100 over MSRP when you consider the trade in for the accord. RX-8 2004 08-06-2003, 08:43 AM Best I have Seen ...and I bought too .. $300.00 over "Dealer Invoice" Worst I have seen is $5680.00 over MSRP ST.James 08-06-2003, 10:03 AM 300? dam I hope I can get a deal like that I'm going to try to get mine this weekend. Although I'll be saying good bye to my old celica. mx5-->rx8 08-06-2003, 10:06 AM Coutesy in Henderson NV On lot 8.... $2500 in the window "market value adjustment" (pure markup) + $1295 "Desert Protection Package" (armor all) + $3792 "Dealer Installed Options" (nothing you would want certainly not at the inflated prices) --------- $7587 in total markup...... Additionally, the sales folks were genuinely uninterested in discussing the car with me. Could be I look like a bum, or maybe they just don't give a darn and have a take it or leave it attitude. For now they are the only dealer for a 120 mile radius, though there are ads for a new dealership comming this fall about 30 miles away. We'll have to see.... the_doug 08-10-2003, 09:10 PM My folks wanted to get a look at the RX-8 when I told them I had ordered one, so they went to a dealer in Santa Fe and saw it listed with a $5000 "market value adjustment" NM is a big, mostly empty state like NV, but luckily there is more than one dealer within a 120 mile radius...! myrx8 08-13-2003, 10:43 PM Some Kansas City dealers are charging on average $5000 over sticker. A dealer in IL - just over the river from St Louis said I could have one for $10,000 over sticker. I thought he was joking - but he wasn't. He also said that the $10,000 they were asking was a non refundable deposit. So if you didn't like the car you were SOL and the $10,000. The sales manager then got on the line and said that is the price take it or leave it. I left it. Went to a St. Charles Mazda dealer and got my car in three days at sticker. |
