$300 over invoice????

OK, I'm getting a little confused. Those of you who are saying you are paying a little over invoice ie $300 (RX-8 2004), $800 (MAKAVELLIS) could you please indicate what you mean by invoice. To me and the rest of the world Dealer invoice is what the dealers pays Mazda, MSRP is the price suggested by Mazda (web site) and Sticker is what the dealer list on the window.

No offense but anyone claiming paying Invoice or near invoice for an 8 better be willing to back their claim (ie invoice). I just can't see a dealer selling at invoice unless it's to an employee (a really good one), family member or you got some dubious pics of the guy being naughty

Please enlighten us with how you got to pay Invoice :D

Must consider trade-in value

There are many ways to flog a cat. I did pay MSRP, but on the other hand got quite a bit under recommended KBB for my trade-in Eclipse. Those who have a trade-in should include any such loss in the total purchase cost.

I'd also like to second those who say that this is not an exclusive car, indeed I believe I read an interview with a Mazda official (rotarynews?) who bluntly said that there was no reason for buyers to pay over MSRP, this car is being massproduced and will not be in short supply.

If you wanted one the same week as the first ones were delivered to the US (got mine 7/18), then you may have to pay more (like I ended up doing effectively).

(MSRP on this is $27500.00)

Contact me at Jeffrey_Kiley@Excite.com if you have any other questions.

Wow, Jeffrey we can't wait until you post the invoice There's gotta to be someone near Maryland that would be willing to scan? You could fax it to someone locally who could then scan it.

Dealers around here don't like people paying cash since they don't get their kick backs from the banks for the lease/financing. Trade-ins are also a source of revenue for the dealer since they usually offer below the wholesale value of the car (black book) when they are selling a hot seller. They then either flip it to the wholesaler for a quick profit or actually put it on the lot if they think they can sell it quickly and make a killing.

I wish I was on that side of the border Up in the great white north we don't pay over MSRP but we don't get much below it either There is starting to be a few automatics on the lots so they might be willing to start dealing on these but I wouldn't expect a big discount.

$1000 off MSRP is possible, I had opportunity to get a GT-MT-Nav-Gray. The MSRP if I remember correctly was 31,100. The dealer did not automatically fall off his chair to offer but after some negotiation and him knowing I had a an offer on an 8 somewhere else 1000 was offered if I did it "right now". I decided to go with my original dealer, so I turned it down. This was from a dealer in Burlingame California. No trade-in was involved.

feel like I got ripped. I paid over MSRP but got what I felt was a decent trade in. I think net net I paid about $100 over. But its such a bad *** car I don't even care.

One thing I've learned about the computing industry that needs to be applied to the car industry. Once you have bought it don't look back (ie don't compare what you paid vs what people are paying now). It will usually break your heart.

I called Jeff's dealer in Maryland (even though I live in NY)

They said they would not give the same deal to Jeff's friends- his was a deal to help promote the car, etc. But they were willing to give something off.


Though every dealer around here wants MSPR (and I seem to know more about what's cars are even available than some dealers -The best I could was $300 of a base 6sped. Then in talking with another dealer I got offered $1000 off a Grand touring package. I really didn't want any extra's - the car is great as is, and the cloth is really nice - but I couldn't pass up that deal in the color I want TI- and will be here in 2 weeks or so. The dealer has no base cars in TI- only more loaded ones...


when I told some dealers who called me back, they were not willing to budge. My guess is that in 3 months there will be alot of cars around- dealers claim to be getting 15 in a time.
