I have started showing an interest in the car but I have concerns about the MPG issue. After working with a dealer online I am able to get the car I want $800 over invoice. Any opinions on the MPG issue and whether I should jump on this, work on a lower price or wait until the MPG gets resovled?

i got my car for $2500 under sticker, before all of this hp issue, talk him into a better deal, thats my 2cents,

 

you may be waiting a long time for the mpg to resolve

 

MPG might not even get resolved

 

geez. I am really surprised on the price. THat is better than a Z plan price. If you can ACTUALLY get the car for that and want it - I would not hesitate.

In this area the dealer locally sells the cars at MSRP. Down the road they have a $4000 premium and in Miami they were paying $5000 over MSRP. These may have changed recently but IMO anything under MSRP is good.

This power issue has been a hot one but now with the post and the reason seemingly known and PERFORMANCE the same, along with advertising just starting, the car should take off. Last night I stood in the Target parking lot as onlookers oogled on my car - 2 different groups. People are really liking the style.

 

Is that $2500 off of sticker MSRP or MSRP+markup? I find that very surprising when applied to base price alone that is $479 below invoice. When added with options/packages that is still average $200 above invoice.

Why don't you share with us where you bought it for that price, who you bought it from what the actual WIndow Sticker price was and what you actually paid for the car?
Not that i don't believe you, but I find your claim a little hard to swallow.:o

 

I bought the RX8 with the GT package window sticker 31,100 and I paid $28882. The cost price from Edmunds is 28534. So that would be $248 0ver dealer cost. I got the Ford partner price which Mazda is not honoring on the RX8 yet, but the dealer said he would and did. I talked this deal with the Finance manger. I think he knows finance better then dealing on cars. I think he got in trouble. I have been back twice now and they keep saying no one will get that deal, when I say I'm going to send business their way. As for mileage I get 20 mpg in mixed driving which I think will be about it.

 

I just got 20mpg too!

 

If you're seriously interested, go to Tony March Mazda in Hartford, CT. I got mine for $500 over invoice; no games, no discussions. MSRP 31,645, selling price $29,565. I view the $500 debit card as getting me down to exactly invoice. Why dick around with dealers who want MSRP or over, unless you like spending $$?
