Great deals on new '05s in Ohio
 

Hi everyone, I am new here and just bought my 8 at the end of July. It's a brand new '05 Sunlight Silver/MT/Touring w/ rear wheel spoiler. I got a great deal-- $23,000 OTD, (msrp~$31,700)- at Classic Ford/Mazda in Mentor, Ohio (near Cleveland). If anyone's interested in getting a new '05 in the Ohio/PA area, they still have a couple-a red, a blue, and maybe a black. If you negotiate it right, you could probably get a great deal as well. This forum really helped me out (didn't even know about the the '05 deals until I found this site) so I thought I should "give back" by letting everyone know about this....Absolutely love my 8--best purchase I've ever made!!

^ yup, i bet you're not a dealer

Actually, I looked at Classic Mazda in Mentor before I bought my 8. The price was NOT right, they were NOT willing to negotiate (so stubborn that I walked out of there), and they kept calling and asking me to buy even after I told them to get lost. I drove to Chicago to buy mine ($8,000 less expensive). It was 2006 and Classic wouldn't budge on the 2004 model prices more than a few hundred dollars.
