I just wanted to add in two cents about the deals some of you guys are getting, which are excellent deals but rememebr it all comes down to region

Dealers in different regions have different markups because of what Honda sells the car to them, even if the states are neighboring .. there could be a huge difference in price all just because of the market location,rates, population etc..

Which is why you hear alot of buyers nowadays going out of state buying cars..

Good luck ! And Congrats on your new car Purchases !!

Its pretty competitive, being we have huge inventories and most dealer networks here in NJ, we outsell many other states combined just beasue of the large based population of consumers we have here..

However I haev to say that PA and DE, are very price competive and possibly give you a little bit better deals but thats mainly becasue of the tax and DMV rates, so its really see what you can get.. and make a deal

Well here in South Carolina i got a pretty good deal. I got the car for 25k w/ my '97 Honda CRV trade-in. I got velocity red, black interior, GT package, 6 in dash and exhaust finish. My Honda had over 200k mi on it and i still got that much for it. KBB was invaluable as they not only offered invoice on the 8 but the invoice of each individual option. I bought Vic Bailey, I would have gone w/ John Finger if Vic Bailey didn't give me 25k. My CRV was given a 4.5k Blue Book Price, but i belive i saw the dealer accidentally type $5400 on his computer instead, so that may have affected how much below MSRP i got.

This is my first post although I have been lurking here since just after I bought my car on 26 Jan. It is Red RX-8 MT GT with appearance & rotary accents plus rear wing, 6CD & Cassette.

I think I got a good deal, but I think in the Atlanta area the deals are pretty good.
I paid approximatly 30,910 - 1500 lease rebate. The 48 month lease payments are 400 plus tax.

I had it negotiated without the cassette to 30,600 -1500, which was approximatly 300 above invoice then add the 1500 lease for 29,100. The morning I bought it, I added the cassette by impulse (for 210 + 100 labor). At the time I was so excited, money become like chips at a poker table.

After reading this forum, if I had it to do over I would get and install the cassette later. My main purpose for the cassette was to get an aux in (Either through a tape or by mods). After reading the forum, it is obvious I should be installing it myself if I want to mod it.

I just purchased my Black on Black rx8 on February 6th. Here is what I got: Msrp: 35,844. I paid 32,574 which is $3270 off msrp and $114 above KBB invoice. Looking at the others on here I'd say I did pretty good. I live in PA but traveled to NJ, and found the exact one I wanted online, and the guy just threw me a no haggle email quote. I went there, test droveit , and said DONE DEAL. Only options I did not get are cargo tray, cargo carrier, and all weather floor mats. I purchased the all weather floor mats separately for $70, and am having them install the alarm shock sensor upgrade for $189.95. For an extra $170 and got the $5000 extra payout insurance if car is stolen during warranty period. When all was said and done after taxes, tags, and add ons, I walked out of there with my dream car for 35,300. I am on cloud nine, and the second I drove that thing I knew I wasn't leaving without it.

Got mine in late December, 26,800 (950 under invoice). Drove a hard bargain, because they had many on the lot, and I told them it would be staying in the garage in the winter (which unfortunately has pretty much been the case with the weather in central New Jersey). Hoping to drive it the next couple days.

I'm one of those people that has to feel I got a good deal, or else I won't be happy.

Sport, Appearance, Spoiler, spare tire. Couldn't get leather/moonroof because I'm tall and couldn't fit.

I could have waited, but wasn't sure the car would be there in the spring, and they didn't have many in my color without GT package, which I needed because of my height.

Will be taking delivery tomorrow. Black 6MT Sport w/ spare tire kit and a couple extra doo-dads. All I really wanted was the basic 6MT Sport -- the rest is gravy.

Paying $26900 (~150 over invoice), then taking $500 off for graduate program (finishing a second masters degree in June). Dealer (McGough Mazda in Montgomery AL) is also including a modestly extended powertrain warranty (5-yr/100K miles, versus 4-yr/48K).

Total with taxes will be $27984. Being military, we love being able to get the Florida resident 6.5% sales tax -- local Alabama tax is 10%

Sandi and I are really excited!

I'm days from buying one. So far the best deal I have is 700 over invoice for GT, appearance, spoiler and MP3 player. Of course on top of that I will add new grads program and will try to get the 1500$ lease option.

Where does the $1500 lease rebate come from? The dealer I went to today had never heard of it though I don't plan on leasing the car.

A final update: we found that sales tax in Alabama for new car sales is only 3.5%:D

Our final payout (price + tax - rebate) was $27516 for 60 months at 3.9%... yields about $505/month -- we're very pleased. We'll most likely end up paying it off much sooner.

The folks at McGough Mazda here in Montgomery were great!

Ciao!
