Best deal

 

I'd be willing to bet that you wouldn't get that close to invoice on a 6 MT GT, but I could be wrong. Anyway, congrats, you got a great car at a great price.

 

Well, I finally did the deal. All is done except the final John Hancock and picking it up, hopefully on Monday.

I got $1,200 below MSRP (that's under $30k) on a 6 MT GT. I am very happy! The reason I got such a (IMHO) good deal is because they couldn't get the car I wanted with the accessories I wanted at the price I wanted and I was going to go elsewhere. They were really nice and offered to cut the price so that I could afford to purchase the accessories separately. It ends up being a better deal in the long run.

BTW, I got financing through my credit union at just over 4%. All around, it's a better deal than I expected and now I can go forward with no regrets or second thoughts.

 

Well, I guess the dealers are backing down on the prices. I'm just glad I didn't pay more then sticker.

 

The deals are out there. Every dealer in NY except one wanted MSRP.

I know my dealer in NY- WHite Plains Mazda just got a whole shipment in. They offered $1000 off MSRP right over the phone.- ask for Peter- he's the manager.

I am picking mine up tomorrow- I cant wait

 

I worked my deal hard for about 2 months, before they even received their first shipment. They probably did it just to get rid of me. :D

 

Had a grand under deal 34495 i think was msrp i got it to 33495.Then the hp thing hit and i almost canceled called my dealer and he said he would do another 300 plus the 500 debit thingy and the maint extension.so i got a 1300 under deal plus 500 from mazd and the maint contract.That all being said i wouldnt pay msrp for this car and now with hp issues u dont have to.to all the buyers already taken delivery i have one thing to say TAKE IT BACK!!Get a refund of your deal then turn around and rework another deal on a used car.

 

For those about to make their deals make sure the dealer doesn't factor the 500$ rebate into the price... that's a separate deal.

 

What do you guys think? I would think that with the lastest blunder, we can now negotiatie.

Thoughts? Flames?

 

Most definitely I feel we have the leverage to negotiate...they don't want underpowered RX 8's sitting on their lots and they probably don't want people like me on the hook to walk away.

 

You think Mazda might lower the price of the car altogether?

 

Don't know if they will do that but negotiating sure would work I suppose. I'd wait and see if you have not purchased one yet.

I agree but not a used car
((((they will not be for sale, unless you work for mazda)))

another NEW ONE>>. and if you payed over MSRP>>>>> do it for sure...

make that car your loaner,.. from the jerks who thought they were overcharging you!!!!

buy below MSRP a brand new one from an honest dealer....!!!!!

and your safe...incase they lower the HP again... lol

 

From what I've been reading, it looks like if you paid over MSRP, you wont get a full refund.. MNAO will determine how much to refund you. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

 

Yesterday (08/26/03) I had the opportunity to read the official letter to dealerships from Mazda about the 4% HP reduction and vehicle return/service agreement terms. The letter specifically writes that Mazda "expects" the dealerships to fully refund whatever amount was paid by the consumer for their RX8. What this might mean for a less-than-scrupulous dealer, who knows?

The dealership sales manager where I purchased my RX8 had not read this letter, just skimmed it, but it was handed to me by my salesperson for reference. This original salesperson then went out to the lot and recorded the VIN numbers off of my RX8 and then (mistakenly) asked me to sign a document that all NEW buyers must sign where they acknowledge that the HP is different than in the brochures, etc. That could be a big mistake!!

The problem here (as I see it) is if I sign that document then I may be eliminating my chance of seeing the service contract or vehicle return. Beware of what you sign!! There is a mailing and document coming from Mazda. Don't sign anything else unless you have read it and know exactly what it is you are signing! After pointing this out to the salesmanager I think he FINALLY actually read the Mazda announcement for the first time.

On the other hand, it seems like Mazda is expecting good faith customer support and will look for full refunds of returned vehicles even if they were marked higher than MSRP. I would suggest that everyone ASK what the dealership policy is and then report back here wherever there seems to be a problem.

 

no, there's no reason to.

dealers will just have to start selling the car under MSRP.

the Miata's MSRP was never lowered after the HP issue back in 2001.

tough cookie huh :o

 

Sorry guys, I just picked up my car last night. I paid $28882 for my car. I purchased the one with the GT package 32,100. I walked in on the 15th and their was just this snot nose kid and the business manger. I wanted to know if the Ford Partner Recognition Program was available for the RX8 he said no but he would give it to me at that price after a while. I jumped on that. I had to wait until the Red color came. Then I read this post and saw the deal on the $100 test drive a Mitsubishi. I did that, while I waited. Then the $500 cash and free service zoom,zoom zoom. down to the dealer. $28882 -100 -500- 1500 (est service) = $26782. Gee same as the Honda V6 MSRP and I don't even miss the -8 HP.

 

Nah, I'd settle for around $30,000 for an RX-8 with almost all of the available options (I can do without Navigation.).

 

I was able to get mine for $1000 over dealer invoice. It was at the Madza dealer in Annapolis, MD. They claim the deal is only good for Labor day weekend (Internet customers only).

 

Well I'm going to pay 400 under mfr price this monday for my gt winning blue rx-8. I think its because I bugged the hell out of them every week, but I bet its because of the 10 grand down payment.

 

Anything at sticker or under is great. I would ever pay more then sticker.

 

by 'sticker' you mean MSRP or Invoice?

 

I mean MSRP - the sticker on the window of the car.

 

No.

Sorry, but this is sucker talk. The dealer must have seen you coming from a mile away.

 

Velocity Red with Grand Touring Package and Rotary Accent for $29900. MSRP is $31239, so $1.4k off of MSRP. That doesn't include the $500 college rebate.
