Anyone from Dallas that got an invoice/near invoice price on their 8's? I'd like some references if possible!

I am also in the market in Dallas, and have gone just about everywhere to get some info, here is what I have found for a 6MT basic package including TT&L:

Hiley Mazda in Arlington: $27, 341

Hiley Mazda in Hurst: about $27,500

Prestige Mazda - I believe I can get a number close to either of the above mentioned. I talked to them for a while in person, never got a firm quote but I bet they can do it.

El Dorado - those guys are complete idiots, I had some kid salesman get me up to 110mph on a backroad though, also took serveral turns around 50mph, scratched the tired in 3rd gear, it was pretty awesome, he really sold me on the car but I dont want to buy from anyone who rags on a new one with 46 miles.

Freeman Mazda - I talked to two old men there who I swear almost died on me, the salesman forgot my name several times and told me about 1,000 stories about this grandkids, nice people but give me a break with the old men. I dont know about price but they saw I was a young guy and wanted to give me the run around.

Classic Mazda in Denton - I went up there and they have close to 30 on the lot, they are starting cut the prices on them, it might be worth the drive.

What kind of prices have you been hearing, and what package are you looking at?

Thanks for replying, I got a quote this morning from El Dorado (woke me up so I was half asleep while listening) but they basically said they'd give me the car with any package I want and options at dealer invoice + 2-3%. They sent me a spreadsheet of their prices that I'll forward onto you if you give me your email, that makes a 6MT basic at around $28 with TT&L. I'm looking for an auto with the sport package, I'll contact Hiley in Arlington

Ya i got the deal from El Dorado as well, the spreedsheet with all the numbers, I think they are passing those things out.

The Hiley guy keeps calling me all the time so I think they are a little hungry, i would give them a call and tell them no b.s. just a price. If you call Hiley I have been talking to Steve Dorsey, he seems like an alright guy, he quoted me the above mentioned number

If I were you I would call that Classic in Denton place and talk to them, if I remember correctly there were more than a few automatics out there, and like I said they were dealing, I dont think many people in Denton are in the market for an RX-8.

Try researching on this forum a little more (maybe the Gulf forum). There have been several negative posts about El Dorado. Ajax just got his a couple weeks ago from Hiley for invoice. He recommended Hiley or Freeman or maybe Town North. He mentioned some names too, but I don't remember who.
