Any good deals out there on the RX-8
 

I have been to all the Mazda dealers in Chicago and they are all out of the Automatic as i live in the City and can not use a manuel because of the traffic . so i need the spoet package with Nav.
any idaes guys. also there was a posting on this board about 0%.

Check mazda's website... You can do a search w/in a 150 or 200 mi. radius. I'm sure that somebody around Chicago has to have one (there are tons of dealers there... I'm from the south side). You might also want to do a search around Springfield or even as far as St. Louis. Good luck!

St Lous? Are you talkin about buying one in St Louis and driving it back to Chicago? Ouch. If you are talking shipping and St Louis doesn't have what you want, I know Mazda Knoxville (Tn) has 15 RX8s on the lot.

There's a black auto at Community Mazda in Orland Park. Has a spoiler but don't know what other options it has though.

i went to Community Mazda and there is no deals with them at the moment where as Autobarn offered me invoice plus $300 and they do not have any autos left, Community Mazda did not even talk to me instead they said you can not get Autos so you will pay more, thank you and walked away on Thursday, so i see some dealers will do 0% soon and i would like to be first in line as winter is coming, also i will travel anywhere as it will be a good drive back.

My Gray/Black automatic/NAV/GT/6-CD is being delivered this week in Chicagoland. Wanna make me an offer? :-)

Most dealers will go get the car for you if it's w/in a reasonable distance... I would go get it myself if I were in that situation and were planning on using mine as a daily driver (which I don't). I would just take care of it b4 it starts to snow...

Interesting - it would appear that Chicago is short on automatics but Portland, Oregon has too many. The two largest allotment dealers are both using automatics in their weekly ads as loss leaders. ($25K for auto/sport)

Is the 4A - 6MT mix due to bad planning by Mazda or local dealers? I know Mazda dictates allotment numbers but do they also dictate models? How about options like the sport package?

Can you post some web links on the deals there in portland,That is what i need an Auto sport in Red, no more no less . so if you have any Ads or areas i should look at as in the names of the dealers,
Thank you...

Our dealership is in Ohio - near Dayton. I'll find you one. That's what salesperson are expected to do for their customers.

If you're intersted it's RKing@langs.com

Hmmm... based on what I've seen, it's going to be difficult to find a Sport Automatic with a navigation system. Most of the nav-equipped cars are Grand Touring... simply because, why would a dealer order a more value-priced car, a car with a lower level of equipment, only to jack up the price with a $2,000 nav system?
