No. Vancouver. Mazda wholesale price via 'special connection'. Cash purchase. No MS stuff I'm afraid. But not bothered at this price.

Sorry took so long to reply. I got pretty much everything that comes with the Shinka. MSRP was around 30k.

Just purchased a 2006 MT Sunlight Silver GT, brand spanking new!
Final Price: $24,300 (26152.25 OTD)
MSRP: $31,505
Model Year: 2006
Model (AT/MT): MT
Options: Grand Touring package, black leather interior
Date of purchase (month/year): 05/07
Location (city/state): Minneapolis, MN
Financed/Cash purchase: Financed all but $500
Interest rate (if relevant): MAC 8.9% (refinancing as soon as the title arrives)
New/Used: New 61 miles
How: Nothing really - dealer had advertised the car for $24999, negotiated another $700 off. I don't care that other people are getting better deals (some of which are just plain ridiculous prices)... it was the exact car I wanted and so I went for it.
Love, love, LOVE IT!

I think that I got lucky because there are few 2006 models remaining. I guess if you wait long enough, prices on previous years drop enough that if you're flexible on configuration, you can get a decent price.
I just think it's funny - a different dealership in the same city wouldn't go below $24,500 for a 2006 Touring package RX-8 that was a 6-month-old demo model with 2,500 hard miles on it.

Hey guys, I looked through this list and notice not too many 07s have been purchased yet. I am interested in buying a base stock 2007 RX-8 MT with the stormy blue mica paint. I know the dealership that i am looking at has about 13-15 2007 and a couple of 2006 still left over. What might i be able to work them down to? The MSRP is $27,070
Can you please let me know what dealership this is? thanks alot

Finally getting around to do this.
06' MT Shinka 260 miles on the lot. Asking price was 26960 after rebates. I started negotiations in January and it lasted for about a month. Closing price 21980 before T&T. Pain in the *** going back and forth!
Edit: 21980 was after 4k in rebates. Invoice was at around 30K. It can be done but it all depends how patient you really are. It took about a month to get them to drop 5k off invoice. Good Luck!

well my lease is up in august on my current 8, so I worked out a deal where the dealer is paying my last 2 lease payments and got the following car:
2006 RX-8 6-Speed
WHITEWATER PEARL MICA
BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR
GRAND TOURING PKG M/T $4,510
NAVIGATION SYSTEM $2,000
Total MSRP:
$33,705*
FINAL PRICE NEGOTIATED: $27,250
I guess taking $6500 off the price is about average, especially when they are paying my remaining lease payments that amount to another $900.

Whoa guess I got a deal...
Well I've been in the car business a long time, so I got a really good deal. I actually work at a GM dealership (GMC, Cad, Buick, Pontiac) and see what happens with the sales tower every day. People come into our place and drop $113k on an XLR-V or $70k on an Escalade one week, then I see (or hear) what we give others for the same vehicle on trade-in later. Scary.
I've known the general sales manager of the Mazda dealer for about 10 years, so he sold the car to me for $1000 over cost, or what they were in the car.
They were in it $17,300.
2004 RX-8 GT-A with everything, including nav, appearance package, etc.
Plus some mods. 34k miles. 72 month/100,000 mile extended warranty from Mazda transferred from previous owner plus balance of factory power train coverage.
Half down, 4% apr, so $309/36 months.
Good deal, no?
Now to deal with the 15mpg.

HEY neighbor, I looked at the Black GT at Prebul.......then I thought I would just call around to some of the other dealers......ha ha...the only other one except ATL........Gray Epperson in Cleveland..

Sounds like a fair deal, the GT's are nice, I drove that black one, in fact I drove five of the new RX-8s they had on the lot, that black automatic 07' they had on the lto felt really sluggish and "off" to me, I am not used to driving automatics but I thought I should take it for a spin just to see and play wiht the sequential shifter.
I had to drive down from Chattanooga, I have a buddy that bought a Mazda3 5-door and an MPV from Epperson, no real problems, I just wasn't getting any sort of deal from Epperson and had a little more luck out of Prebul. (And frankly, I loath the drive to Cleveland I'd rather drive to Dalton. I wasn't too impressed with their Kia oriented sales force at Prebul, they couldn't answer basic questions about the RX-8, but what are you gonna do, I wanted the car, not a date, I know how to read and did my research independent of what the salesmen were going to lie to me about anyhow.
