I know this might sound like a weird question but I was just curious when is the best time of the year to buy a rx-8 really??? I know the clearance time was between September-November but does anybody know when they have the low APR?? Just curious... I know lots of people look in the summer but the person I am asking for want to buy theirs when they have usually good APR sales and deals. Does anyone know the key times???? I am asking for a friend becauese I am already test driving some now to buy now.

 

If you want an '04 now would probaby be a good time, as the dealers will be wanting to make room for the '05 models.

 

RIGHT NOW-Plenty of deals to be had on 04's---Good Luck

 

Bought my car ('04) last week , $1500 below invoice , from what I have heard about the '05's is $1000 or so over invoice ...and nothing has changed on the car ! Depends how bad you want it , but the time to get a good deal on a '04 is now !

 

I should be picking mine up on Friday or Saturday for approx 1500 under invoice. So for deals well below invoice I would try and get a 04 which seem to be getting slimer and slimer.

 

My friend wants to know if you guys think there will be any 04' rx-8's on the lot next summer or is that a slim chance cause I told him that you would have a better chance of getting a 05' cause not too many people will bring there's in for a 05 or something else. What do you think????

 

Slim chance--they'll be gone by March at the latest.

 

Walk don't run NOW!

Seriously, as time passes they'll make deeper and deeper deals on the 04. But that only makes them go FASTER. Face it you're not going to get the best deal in the world because that is a negotiated thing. Just get the best deal you can and be happy with it. You won't be sorry. Now is a really good time.

 

I meant to add: As more of them are sold, your selection will go down.

 

You should buy it now, as the dealer inventories are depleting, you won't be able to get what you want if you wait too long. as for the APR, you should be able to save more money on the price of the car than any difference you'll get by a better APR rate...i just bought mine last week for 1000 below invoice...you can find the invoice online with all the packages and option invoice prices on yahoo and msn

 

Buy now, dealers do not want to have to pay for their vehicles, thus major manufacturers or lending institutions provide what is commonly called a "floorplan" which in layman's terms means the dealer has a specified amount of time (usually 30-90 days but can go up to 6 months) to sell a car before they have to start making payments for the vehicle....with new 05's coming in daily they will need to rotate and clear exsting inventory to allow more recent vehicles to be introduced into the lot
