I received the email below from a Mazda Dealer in Arlington, VA. I thought I'd pass it on in case it helps anyone looking for a 2005:






Hello! My name is Kyung Yu, Internet Sales Manager from Arlington Mazda. We're pleased to announce our BLOW OUT sales event on our eight remaining 2005 Mazda RX-8 models between *$4000 to $6500 off! Due to overstock of 2005 models, our managers would like to see these units move out of our inventory lot by End of March! We have variety of packages, trim levels and colors for you to choose from!

Its four doors and double wishbone front suspension make the vehicle more comfortable than its progenitors, and its next-generation RENESIS rotary engine, mid-ship engine layout and all-new Freestyle chassis keep the ride from being sports sedan-typical. It is quite possibly the most daring 'new' car in awhile: quite different from it's RX leagcy as a sports car with little practicality, the RX-8 has four doors, four seats, a rotary engine and a 5-star crash rating. Practicality aside, the RX-8 is fast and fearless-this is a car built for speed and tight corners.

Are you ready for a smooth rotary engine fun to wind out on the open road?
Let us show you how easy it is to purchase your Mazda RX-8.

Please Note: *Financing with Mazda American Credit. All prices do not include Tax, Tag, and $349 Processing Fee. All factory incentives are included. Please see or contact your Internet Representative for details. This sale ends the close of business Friday, March 31 2006.

I like that. You are supposed to ask for him by name, but he has an Asian name that the majority would be unsure how to pronounce. I guess you take the email with and say "I want to speak with that guy" and point at it. :rofl:

$6500 off isn't bad, although $4k off is a bit on the light side right now, for 2005s.

lol @ BunnyGirl ;-)

I saw on Edmunds today that Mazda is offering $500 for using Mazda credit, and $1000 manufacture to dealer incentive through 5/31. Watch my car not show up until 6/1 so that I don't get the extra grand (bought under Costco program, incentives at the time of delivery apply).
