somebody plz ejumacate me... what's the difference between the different plans. I can get S-Plan pricing ("S" maybe stands for supplier? hahahaha)...

 

it's all explained in page 1 of this thread

 

ah so it is... well, some of it is.

anyway, i found the breakdown at the fordpartner site.

 

Well the time has come. Yesterday I took another look at the FordPartners.com site and the RX-8 is available for S-plan pricing. I've already generated a PIN number and after watching Speed's coverage of the ALMS Petit Le Mans this morning that showed the RX-8 commercial at every break I think I'll be going to Irvine Mazda tomorrow.

 

I did the same. This time the RX-8 is in the plan! It's an S-plan, which is E-plan + 5.3%. The E-plan is some employee pricing plan. Turns out that the S-Plan price is pretty close to invoice (+- $100). Just hope that there are dealers that would honor it.

 

Most dealers won't honor it right now, but come about November/December, which is the low point yearly for car sales, and they probably will.

 

So which are the three dealers you found that would honor S-Plan? I'm sure Irvine Mazda is one (they told me they would be honoring S-Plan oin the 8 as soon as Mazda authorized it) but who are the others?

 

I visited my Indianapolis eastside, Tom Wood Mazda dealer TODAY, and my sales rep told me about S-plan (my employer qualifies). Apparently Tom Wood Mazda is honoring the S-plan for Rx8 purchases. S-plan pricing for Rx8 would be BELOW invoice.

 

Here are the prices for the "S Plan"

I don't THINK you need a UN or PW to get to that link. It has the breakdown of the S-Plan Prices for ALL Mazdas.

I just ordered my RX-8 today......11/3/03
Nordic Green Mica, GT, Appearance, Rotary Appearance, 6 Spd., Rear Wing Spoiler. Alarm Shock Sensor Upgrade.

That kept my total under 30k :-)

 

BTW....you can see that pricing was effective 6/24/03 if you look at the pdf file

 

Sweet, $2276 discount on my 6MT/1SP/STR. Does anyone know if Dell and/or National Instruments are eligible for S-plan? I've interviewed with both places, so I've got my fingers crossed I may be back in an 8 before too long.

 

Got a Winning Blue 6 speed with touring pkg. last tuesday at Alhambra Mazda for S-plan price.

 

check your email please, thanks

 

I'm pissed that they are now on X-plan for my company. I should have waited.

 

how did you find out?

 

hey all.. I went to Tustin mazda and Irvine mazda two weeks ago. I was told that Irvne Mazda won't be honoring the S-plan yet. Hopefully things have changed. When I asked at Tustin Mazda, they said they would only honor it for MT vehicles. Hope this helps.

 

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger. One of my local dealers has come close with everything I want (except fender strakes & Shock sensor upgrade). Please can someone educate me on these different types of plans and how does one qualify to get them? All that I am currently working with is the Sam's Club or BJ's Warehouse member's plans. Are these plans (if I'm eligible for any of them) better?
