Sport A/T: 2% over invoice
As I remember it was right at 30K.
If you are looking at paying more than 2-3% over invoice you need to try an on-line buying service like USAA. They will get that price...and once there you may be able to do even better.

Check http://www.edmunds.com/ for invoice pricing and go from there. Keep in mind that dealers sometimes will treat freight as an additional expense even though it's included in invoice. Also, the true invoice may be higher than what Edmunds shows - my dealer's invoice had a $200 advertising fee that Edmunds doesn't include because it's a regional charge.
I'm wondering what "27k, 31k after financing" means, exactly. Presumably the 27k is before tax/tags/etc., but 4k is a lot of tax and tag fees. Does the 31k include loan interest or something?

I noticed that too. I got excited until I realized that they just took off the $520 destination charge, which you still have to pay.
In the Bay Area, GT RX-8s are going for below invoice, or even others as long as they are on the lot. Go on the last day of March to the dealership(s) that have the car you want and you'll get the best deal.
I got my M/T Sport + Rotary for $150 over Edmund's invoice. That $150 is part of the dealer invoice. It is actually an advertising fee but the dealer will plead ignorance on it, and say they have to pass it on. Regardless, I got exactly what I wanted, and what I wanted was hard to find, so I'm happy. I gave in b/c the other dealer that had what I wanted wanted $500 more.

yea the dealer said with a 5% interest rate.. it would be 31k.. i dont think he added the taxes and other fees. the 31k is mainly on interest. he said he's marked it up 788.00 above what he bought it for.. anyone in the colorado area?

I paid 35000 out the door ( 32574 + tax + tags) This is with 6MT GT package, app pack, rotary accent, rear wing, spare tire, cargo net, moonroof wind deflector, nav system, 6 dis changer, cassette deck. Only thing I didn't get was all weather floor mats, cargo tray and cargo net. It all depends on where you live, on how you find best deals.

Negotiated $26,900 (invoice +1.5%); $500 "Graduate" Rebate; total w/ taxes came to $27,516; financed through BoA at 3.9% for 60 months. We're very satisfied with the deal, especially because of the minimal hassle we had with the sales staff.

At the time I signed the dealer papers, he said he had 2 Company's he was deciding on putting me under. So honestly I'm not sure yet, I got my first payment delayed 60 days.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I always considered OUT THE DOOR what you paid for car including tax and tags and other fees after all was said and done. If you got it for 31k before taxes and tags, you maye have the best deal to date (that's about $1200 below invoice) which I have yet to see on this site anywhere. CONGRATS. I assume you meant you got car for 31k, then paid taxes and tags on top of that bringing total somewhere near the 34k range.

I have to ask this since im thinking of getting a new RX8
about the college graduate rebate, i read somewhere that you can be either a junior or senior ( within 2 years of graduation ) to qualify if your enrolled in a 4 year college ( BS degree ), is that correct?

Paid $25,838.18 Out of the Door for a Titanium Grey Automatic Base model. OTD includes everything.
I got S-Plan pricing + the $500 college grad rebate.
This car is as exciting as my VStar.

I paid 27,200 for 6 MT, sport package, disc changer. Plus 3% sales tax, plus tags of around $200. That's it. I could have done a bit better if I had haggled longer. MSRP was 28,900.

I recommend talking to a dealer and getting he exact program details (the fine print).

i just read it from Mazda Website.
It can be 2 years for a bs program.
However, the problem that i see is that my Mom is going to buy the car since her credit is way better than mine, i dont think i will apply even though i will be using the car most of the time, the registered owner would my mother, so, i dunno

Got tremendous deal from dealership 250 miles away...(after internet search, and test drive at close dealership); gt pkg, app pkg, 6-disc, rotary accents, spare tire kit, a few other little goodies... all for the GT price, $31,800. Oh, and they delivered it to me at my office. :D
