2007 Rx-8 GT with some added options like spoiler and air vent accents.
8 Miles on it (I guess from test drives)

Sticker price $32,465
Walked (taxes and everything in) for $23,300 (and I got a "free" custom car cover)

They were willing to negotiate a lot more once I said I was paying in cash.

 

not bad, i assume the car was something like 20 and change before taxes?

 

yeah it was like 21,200 or something

 

Where was this purchased?

 

Huh, that's funny, becuase by payign cash ALL you ddi was cut off other places they can profit form a car deal. ALL deals are cash to dealers, banks pay them OVER 100% of the ammount financed within roughly 72 hours.

 

Other places including MAZDA CREDIT which makes money off of finance charges. Anyway I purchased it in Louisiana

 

If your one that can pay all up - sweet, I'm jealous, but sweet!!!

Sounds like a good deal to me, no worries of monthly payments AND fuel costs!

Now, the burning question - what's your first planned mod!!??

Brian-

 

congrats, sounds like a great deal! What colour?

Yes, bring on the mods!

 

that is such an amazing deal! congrats!

 

Cash talks !

 

what state was this

 

Only if you carry a balance... BTW Car Dealers are franchises owned by individuals. They could care less if Mazda American Credit makes a dime. They care about their pockets.

Cash does NOT talk in the car business. The LAST thing you should tell a dealer when negotiating price is that you are payign cash. I am 100% confident that if you even alluded to financing that they would have given you at least an additional $1-200 off.


With that car sitting on a dealer lot for nearly 24 months I would require a full fuel system flush, coolant flush, a new battery, and would look very closely at the tires for dry rot. You should probably also change all other fluids as they could easily have accumulated condensation during its stationary phase. In case you didn't realize, I'm not big on purchasing holdovers as they can be a lot to deal with. Your brakes will squeak for a couple of weeks while the oxidation wears off, btu that will go away.

 

man...I would kill for a deal like that. Even a year ago finding 24.5k was the best I could do for a well equipped GT, now...I can't even find the color/options I want, not to mention price haha. I feel stupid for having waited :/

 

its galaxy gray, im still lookin into what i want to mod first, lookin for stuff on this forum really

 

LA_____

 

I have yet to do any modifications/personalization to my 8 - but I'm told from members on here one of the first suggested mofications would be a Axial Flow Short Throw Shifter - it's a manual right?

Brian-

 

that is a great deal.

and I see a USED 2005 RX8 for 20k..and it's like NO WAY, i can get a new one for a few grand more!!!
