I'm looking at getting a RX-8; it's kind of an on-a-whim purchase. I showed up looking for a '06 Mazda3 hatch (my '94 Volvo beater **** itself) and realized that I want the RX-8 really badly. Anyway, the dealer has 2 2007 RX-8s sitting on the lot. They both have less than 25 miles on them, and the only difference between each one is color.

Now, my question is, how much should I be paying for it? The dealer is willing to let go for $17.5k, which to me seems like a fair price, but then again, I have done 0 research on the RX-8. Is this a good deal or can I negotiate it downwards some more?

If they are automatics don't bother looking at them.

Seems like a great price to me. What color. I'd buy one if it was MT, Phantom Blue, and had the performance package. Where are you located.

dter

They're manuals. As for the guy below you: silver and gray were the two colors, I think. I'm in North Jersey.

My local dealers here in CA offered me about 20k-21k for a new 07 Touring MT. A few hundreds off would probably be possible.

Decat

That is a great price then, I would get one of them.

a new rx-8 for 17.5k? that seems like an obscenely good deal
(god, i hope it is the base trim 6spd)

Does the base trim Rx8 6 speed come with DSC standard?

dter

Thanks, guys! I just bought a gray one for $17.5k. Yes, it is the base trim 6 speed, secret8gent. I'm picking it up tomorrow.

Since there are "two," what dealership are you getting it from?

Please post ASAP. Thanks.

Also, is the $17.5k out the door, including TTL?

What color is the other one?

If you're speaking accurately, I'll go and buy the other one TOMORROW.


The dealer invoice price on a 2007 6MT Sport is $24,458.

So they'll either trying to pull one over on you, and you'll find out tomorrow, or you are GETTING THE BEST DEAL EVER BY GETTING A NEW RX8 FOR $7,000 UNDER DEALER INVOICE, WHICH AMOUNTS TO 30% UNDER DEALER INVOICE.

dter

It doesn't include TTL. I think it's closer to $20k with TTL thrown in. The car has obviously been sitting there for a while, as has the other one. The other one is silver, and they just added a spoiler to it, so now they upped the price on the silver one to $18k (which made me go for the gray one, since I don't feel like spending $500 on a spoiler).

I'll PM you the dealer info. You're not the first person to ask for it, and I don't want a lurker to ****** it from an interested member.

Alrighty, check your PMs! Maybe you can get them to give you the silver one for $17.5k; I just didn't want to bother.

Thanks, dter.

dter

Yay! Now I need to properly learn how to handle a manual. I stalled it twice just getting it into a parking spot; tomorrow is practice day!

robrecht

Great deal, Dimitri. Congratulations!

Best deal ever, by far, on a new one.

Congrats, Dmitri.

No trade-in, right? If so, and you were out the door for $17.5K + taxes then this is by far the best deal ever. There are people out there that pay more for their econo shitboxes fercryinoutloud! Aluminum A-arm suspension, carbon fiber driveshaft, smooth-as-a-jet engine rotary, one of the best handling cars at any price, fabulous brakes, and on and on. I'm not a fan boy, but nothing, absolutely nothing out there touches this car for anywhere near what you paid. It's absolutely laughable that anyone would choose a Corolla or Scion or Civic or anything else over this. Truly.

How many sets of key or remote come with a new car?

jdoo

I got 2 of the switchblade keys w/ my new 2007 Touring.

You got a really amazing deal. When I got my car in December the dealer wouldnt go below 21k for the Sport models on the lot. I ended up with a Touring for 25k.

Decat

I am pretty sure we get one clicker and two keys.

kvndoom

AWESOME deal!! Wish I had waited 6 or 7 months and taken my chances now... I think the local dealer still has some 07's, but if memory serves, they're all slushboxes. Probably why they're still sitting on the lot.

dter

I got two switchblade keys too.

P.S. I freaking love this car now that I somewhat am capable of handling a manual.

architect

No way.

It's really an '05
