04' Leftovers Galore!

04' Leftovers Galore!
My local dealer(in CT) has at least 7 or 8. Various colors and options. GREAT prices, for obvious reasons.
Ex: $27,700 sticker for $21,900, $33,300 for $26,600, etc..... That's the posted price, so maybe even a tad less. Though at those prices....
I realize we've had a lot of snow this winter, but still.
Do others find this to be the case elsewhere? Just curious.

This was brought up a few weeks ago and I just ran another search. There is a dealer 45 miles from me advertising 41, yes forty-one, 2004 RX-8s in stock (between two dealers I believe). Several other dealers in my area have 5-11 of them and all of them have at least a couple.

Two months ago, I was actually looking to buy a new 04, but no local dealers had any left over. I knew I could have gotten a better deal, oh well I'm still as happy as a pig in chit.

In my experience in Massachusetts, they either have none or a ton leftovers. I went to 6 dealers, 3 had none and 3 had more then 15. One even had like 35 04's in stock. And I dunno if it still applies but with finanacing through Mazda with give you a bigger discount on what you have quoted. I got mines for 21,995, the sticker price was 29,970. There was also a 04 GTP with navi for 23,995 with the sticker being over 35,499 (yellow), and a couple of shinkas here and there for the same discount. I could've gotten an extra 500 off if I'd have a recent college grad degree. So I guess you have to search to find the deals.

Mickeyblue, it depends on how it compared to other cars. Here, the RX8 is only 10-20% more than several FWD I4 econoboxes.
There aren't any left overs at dealers in my area, but since it seems to vary from region-to-region I have no idea what percentage of dealers have leftover 04s. Ike and Navybeardbb, how many Mazda dealers are there in the USA are there and how many of them have left-over 04s? How about world-wide?

Ike is righrt about Milwaukee. You see very few sports cars on the road here. I've only noticed 4 RX8's on the road over one year period. It's a rare car here. This winter was also very snowy. People here avoid sports cars uless they can store them winters. I have snow tires on mine. Taking them off this week.

In reply to where this dealer was... Vernon, CT.
Interestingly, 1/2 mile down the road there's a silver 04' Evo that doesn't seem to want to move from the Mitsu dealer. The Subie dealer next door can't keep the STI's for more than a few days, though.
In my experiece meeting drivers of each, there's LOTS of older diehard subaru fans that wanted to try something fast and already had the brand loyalty. For a couple grand more than a loaded standard Impreza, Outback or what have you, you've got the STI....
