Check E-Bay. Six RX-8s have sold for from $24,300 to $29,950. They were generally won by someone who can't, for some reason, keep it. One man surprised his wife on her birthday, but she wanted something different. It may be worth a look if you are close to maxing out your budget. Good luck.

I'd say so. You paid $1,120 under INVOICE which is by far better than anyone has paid.
You not only paid less than what the dealership paid, but you also got most of the Mazda dealer incentive as well. They made no money on you at all.
People that work at dealerships don't get that kind of price.
Unless, of course, you got a buy-back car...

Well, you can't avoid the taxes, but you don't have to pay the other fees.
I paid the 5% state tax and the Mazda $520 destination fee (that is included in the invoice price, anyway) and that is it.
Did the tags myself.

It's not a buy-back car. I ordered the car, and it hasn't came in yet. I realize what kind of deal it is. I sell cars also, and I sell cars to the owner of the this Mazda dealership. My taxes, fees, etc. will be $770. The price included destination.

I just bought mine last night. Selma Mazda (near Fresno Ca) matched the S Plan price: $28,508 plus tax/license. Plus I get the $500 college rebate on top of that.

31.8k. Did internet search, shopped for three weeks, talked, and e-mailed with eight different dealers, finally found one 250 miles away that not only loaded up on the options, but delivered it to my door. The MSRP was around 34.7k, so it is possible to find one cheaper. The option list includes the complete spare tire, 6-disc changer, aero package, rotary accents, moonroof wind deflector, spoiler, and GT package. There is probably more, but I can't remember. It pays to shop online!
I just realized that taxes were $1900, plates were $550. Even though I bought it from a dealership in another state, (CO), I didn't have to pay thier taxes, only the local taxes, (6%). The only other thing I had to pay was the dealers $400 handling fee. I would also advise to check with your tax person, I know that the plates can be used as a write-off, (Federal taxes, Wyoming has no state tax). :D
So, total for car, taxes, fees, etc ended up being right around the MSRP.

With a little effort you should be able to get one right at invoice or slightly above.

In September I paid < 3% over invoice. Today with year end and lots of dealer stock Invoice should be realistic
