Crazy Jump--Good deal! by smat74

How's this for a story:
I went to the dealer today looking to test drive a Mazda3s manual. While waiting for the one available 5-speed to be returned by another shopper, the salesperson asks me why not look at the Mazda6? I replied that I wanted something sporty and fun to drive. While we're waiting, let's go out in the RX-8 just for fun, she says.
 
Needless to say, one test drive won me over and I jumped from a Mazda3 to the RX-8.
 
What to you think?:
6MT
Grand Touring Pkg
Appearance Package
6-CD Changer
Rear Wing Spoiler
Navigation System
Rotary Accent Package
Lease Vehicle Price (S-Plan): $32,032
 
Lease Deal:
24 months, 12k miles/mo.
$3500 Down Payment was REBATED.
Monthly: $436/mo
Total Drive-Off: 1st pmt ($436) + Sec Dep ($450) + tax on rebate ($210) + title/license ($??)
=~$1200.
 
Pretty Good Deal, I think.

Replying to: spkurtz (Jul 10, 2004 2:36 pm)

I just saw an ad in last Saturdays paper for RX8 (brand new, not demo etc.) for $219 / month, 2000 cap reduction, 12K year for 48 moths. This is on the automatic transmission/sports (fairly well stripped down). I would imagine by adding a few options and upgrading to the 6MT would still arrive at a pretty good lease. I don't get it. Can anyone explain or suggest what a very good deal would be for a 6mt sport pkg and comfort pkg be for a 36 or 48 month lease (10k/year would be fine), assume 2000 for cap reduction (lets leave sales tax out of the discussion (I'll pay that at lease signing as well). Please help debating between MY 04 BMW 325i (SMG, spts pkg) and an RX8 6mt/Spts/Cmft pkg
thanks

128 Mazda here in MA advertised 40+ rx8's and the base model was 21995. I wouldn't get the base model, but its a good negotiating point.

chicagorob - I'd easily get the RX-8 over the BMW 325i. First of all, the RX-8 is more unique and attractive. You get more options in the RX-8 for a lower price than the BMW. Most importantly, the RX-8 is more powerful and accelerates quicker. 238HP vs. 184HP. Even if the BMW has great handling, the RX-8 is tough to beat in that department as well.
 
fugly - By base model, are you talking about the automatic version. I don't know if those are selling very well...meaning that I wouldn't assume the 6MT are going to be just as low since the AT versions are.

My dealer tells me that, by far, the 6-speed outsells the automatics.
 
They don't even carry base automatics, as they are the slowest seller of all RX8s.

Invoice on the car with the options you list, including destination charge, is $31,026. Even with a $500 college grad rebate, the price you list is still more than $500 under invoice.
 
If you think you can do better, knock yourself out.

At that price, I'd also watch out for the interest rate they are willing to give and other hidden costs. For all those options, you can't do better than that.

Lease deal in Oklahoma by commofficer

Just thought I would run this buy you guys.
 
Sunday Aug, 1st paper
$299/month
No money down
24 month lease
12k/month miles
 
Given it is probably stripped but it's a hell of a lot better than the 93 Protege with 200k miles I am driving now.
What are the seats like in the RX8? Adj. lumber on the base model?
 
I want a Mini but this deal is really good and the Mini is really expensive right now. They go for MSRP in OKC unlike some of the coasts where I have heard they ask for money over MSRP.
 
Thanks for your input
Phil
