Great to see a lot of other new buyers are getting a great deal. After calling around and a few visits to dealers out here with little (or no) stock I called up Wood Mazda in Santa Rosa. Without even starting to haggle with the price the salesman offered me any car for invoice! So I'm going to wait and call back a little later today and see if he can throw in some free strakes with a car I know he's getting any day now. Hopefully all said and done I'll have a black/black GT package, Nav, appearance, rotary accents, 6 disc, strakes and a spoiler for $31,930.

First thing... Anyone in the CA Northern bay area with a black car who wants to trade trunks? I don't really care for the spoiler.

I also went in search of end-of-the-year deals. There were plenty - the dealer I ended up at had several cars $3750 off MSRP. Most were loaded with GT, appearence packages, etc. I didn't want all that and ended up paying invoice ($26,200) for a Titanium Grey car with Sport package. Reading this thread, it appears that I could have got it a little cheaper, but I'm ecstatic with the car so the last few hundered $$$ don't really bother me.

Of course, immediately after I buy the car the roads freeze and we get our first real snow here in years....

I got mine last week in Kentucky, paid 27,200 for GT with touring package and appearance package, spolier, and rotary accent. The sticker on the car was 31,364.

I got mine on Dec 30. I got a 6 speed GT model. I have all options except nav, cd changer and appearance package. I even have the spare tire thing.

Paid 29,100 prior to tax (Invoice + 250) came to 31,950 out the door.

I get the impression that there is huge profit for the dealers in the appearence packages, spoilers, and other dealer installed options. I've noticed those cars seem to be the most likely to have big discounts.

Looks like I got nearly the same deal you got (12/31) - 6MT w/ spoiler, GT, CD changer, rotary accent for $30,200 OTD. Did have to order my spare tire after the fact though since no one out in So Cal orders them equipped. Still happy though! :D

Purchased Friday 1/2/04 Bill Lang Mazda in Vallejo, CA.

I haggled with a few dealerships to wind up getting invoice. I guess there are better deals out there in other parts of the country. But I was happy to see invoice.

6spd, Tit-gray, grand touring, NAV, black/red leather, rotary accent, appearence package, spoiler, and cassette.

$31822.00 Invoice
$34443.36 Out the door w/tax & title

The dealership here in Marin wouldn't even budge past $1500 over invoice!

I must say I am totally satisfied with this car and everyone I know just drools over it. I have to add that the Bose system rocks! I don't know what people are on that complain about it. They must listen to some extreme bass or something. I drove home happily listening to Black Sabbath Iron Man (on cassette) with a huge grin on my face.

antichrist...any idea if that would go for any less on the east coast? you have the EXACT car that i want.

Mr Tate

Hi. New to the forum.
I live in Jersey and just got back from the dealership.
Almost bought (leased) the car tonight, but was looking for a better deal.
The car I was looking at was Black, 6 Speed, GT Package, and Spoiler. They were also going to work in the remaining 4 months on my current lease, which amounts to $1,088.
Talking strictly payments here, they were willing to do $370 per month for 39 months with $2,000 due at signing. Does this sound like a good deal or can I do better?

red_rx8_red_int

Talking strictly payments is useless! Spend some time researching prices, interest rates, total cost, etc. And make an informed decision.

antichristpm

I'd say you should call around and see who has what in stock first. That's what I did. I also didn't screw around and asked the guys if they'd take invoice right away after the first sales person I talked to mentioned that price as a possibility. I think depending on where you live you can definately get it for less than invoice.

Has anyone tried Carsdirect.com or Autobytel.com???

Carsdirect in Philly area quoting $900 over invoice for 6MT, GT, Rot Accent, Appearance Package. Nav for $1721 which is invoice.

Maximus

Hi,
Is this a good price for a Titanium, GT, Cassette, Spoiler, 6 Disc? Or could I do better? Note: Edmunds invoice = $29,465 and MSRP sticker is $30,894

Invoice...........................29845
Freight...............................520
Tax 3% of Invoice................895 (or is 3% of MSRP ??)
Tag....................................50
Dealer (B.S) fee...................299

=========================
Out-the-door.................$31,609
=========================


Waiting for your comments...

Thanks.

KaribOS

In VA you pay 3% on the total cost from the dealer - including his fees.

(29845 +520+50+299) = 30174 + 3% = 31,635.42

The $299 seems excessive since you are already paying 5 times the cost for a tag.

www.dmvnow.com will give you more info.

$500 over invoice, special order, not off the lot.

alphapenguin

thats pretty cool you can order one and still get it for 500$ over. nice. What specs Ramb's?

fluque

I took delivery today and got $500 UNDER invoice.

Murphy's law: Three hours after I drove off the lot we get the worst snow of the year in the DC area..... I guess I'll need my winter tires.

Kagero

When you say invoice price do you mean MSRP?

fluque

I mean invoice as in invoice.

Maximus

fluque,
Good job on five under invoice! So what was your out-the-door price i.e.

$500 under invoice + any additional accessories + tax + tag/title = ???

Max.

fluque

Out the door $26.1k for a base model without options.... just the pure soul

Mazda_newbie

Mine is almost like yours except:

w/ Velocity Red, spare tire kit, and the stupid moonroof deflector.
I paid a total of $30,470 plus tax, tags, and frieght (frieght is a killer $500) at College Park MD Mazda.
