how effective are group buys ?

Anyone have any prior experience with group buys or even internet buys with MAZDA? ( I'm assuming internet buys are only good for more common/popular cars? )

I wonder just how effective a group buy would be, considering I'm ready to pre-order it. Though I'm hoping to get it at msrp.

Anyone with experience or knowledge in this area with Mazda please leave some comments =)

i pre-ordered a yellow WRX in Dec 2000 and got it the second week it came out. unfortunately i wasnt able to participate in a group buy that i-club.com had going on. those who did group buy, bought their WRXs for $500 over invoice. i think if we have enough people to group buy, we can probably arrange something. On R&T, they say Mazda wants to be competitive, so if we find the right dealership, I'm sure we can pull something off.
so who's in on it now?
:D

Group buys can be effective if structured right. I wonder if dealer allocation will play a part in any group buy. If you get say 10 people that go in on a group buy, but the dealer is only allocated say 4 cars a month it could be a problem.

I wonder how plentiful the cars will be at the dealers to start with
