Have you noticed?
An influx of 8s on your area?
I had only ever seen like maybe 2 on the road for the first couple of years. Now, in the last month, I have seen probably around 5 or 6 of them. It just struck me as being odd, since they were so rare before, you were lucky if you ever saw one, now (around here at least) they seem to becoming larger and larger in numbers.... Is this happening in any other Canadian areas? Anyone else here experienced the same thing? |
Nope not lately...there are times where I've seen 4 in one day...but normally I'll be lucky to see 4 in one week.
|
yea happening a lot in toronto.. I went from seeing 0, to now seeing about 5 - 10 a week :eek:
I see a lot of tit grey, silver, red, and blue.. I rarely see any white/black for some reason MrJynx |
Hey Frostee, I just bought a white '05 GT w/ moonroof. So now there's another one in the ottawa area :)
I'll be picking it up from the dealership next week! |
Notice more in edmonton around summer and fall. Disappear in winter....:rolleyes:
Planning on representing all the way thru till next summer |

I've seen a lot of 8s, but haven't seen one with a Mazdaspeed kit yet! :) So I guess I'm still unique!
|
Nah ... I see pretty much the same 8's around my area (ie Lamfc, Ghostrider, and the mystery yellow 8). Since I work near Sunridge Mazda, some of the sightings are probably test drives.
|
Here in sunny Florida I have been seeing a lot more 8s on the road lately also. At least along where I frequently drive (to-from work). I guess some people sees my car all the time, liked it and decided to get one themselves...
|
even in florida? maybe its a trend ;)
on a sad sidenote: i went to go make my downpayment tonight, and the dealership had JUST closed. so i went looking for the one that i was going to buy. its gone. no where on the lot :( now im going to have to wait or pick another color... |
hey frostee what price, on the road after taxes, were you negotiating for on the gt w/moonroof?
Oh and the dealershiip I got mine from is bringing it in from out of town. I'm sure they can always get the colour you want from out of town for you too. |

More and more down here in the NE US (from Canada) every day... The rotary disease is spreading...

before taxes. one person (i'll link the post if i find it) said that he got quoted $37815 for a GT w/moonroof and it included PDI/destination. all he had to do was add taxes and interest....
link: https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...9&postcount=13 full thread: https://www.rx8club.com/canada-forum-35/canadian-pricing-advice-68199/ basically, ~$45K after taxes.... |
I got mine for $36010 before anything, came to $42487 on the road. '05 GT w/ moonroof and NO nav. They wouldn't go any lower :rolleyes: and i didn't wanna negotiate for another month with the various dealerships.

That's ALL in everything on the road.
Dealership on carling. |

hey guys, this is my first post, been watching this forum for a while, anyways, i put a deposit in sherwood park for a 05 white GT. Was quoted $39,800 with Moonroof. I'm not sure about the colour, always wanted blue. Chicks dig white too right? i'm thinking of waiting for '06 but the interest will jump and i'm insanely impatient too!

they said that the original price was 42,555. and the lowered it almost 2755 to 39,800 including taxes i hope. 751/month (taxes included) with 1500 down = 46,560. take out the interest... hmm, somehow i get a purchase price of 43400, they took my 1500 down and told me that was what THEY were taking off plus another 1255? know of anyone else getting 2.9% finance right now?

even if you go to mazda canada's website, and build yourself one, a GT with moonroof (no NAV) comes to 41100 (that includes a colour other than black) unless they are quoting you for a shinka, but i dunno, you may want to clarify all that with them... :confused: edit: the 41100 is without taxes ;) |
What's a Shinka?
ok, so 41,100 with taxes is 44060.65 (and they're discounted price was 41055). but with all interest minus downpayment it comes to 48557.40 total price. Help me if i'm wrong. I'll check if it Shinka. Maybe I'll just wait for the '06 to come out. Thanks for the help. So it's not a great deal? oh is the shinka the one's with special interior but no performance upgrades? the salesman was telling me about it, only 10 in edmonton and 150 in canada i think? 39800 + interest = 42586, |
