jcollum writes...." The reason they had to start the warranty time clock is they were forced to by Mazda USA". That is pure bologna... the warranty starts the day the dealer reports the car sold to mazda....if the warranty has been started its because the dealer burned the RDR...

Replying to: baptistandy (May 25, 2005 10:58 pm) The invoice on a new 05 MT w/sports pack is $26,756 - so you are going to have to wait until there is some rebate or dealer money on them to get in your price range. Does Mazda has a college grad rebate - if so that would help? If you could find an 04 that was not loaded up, the price would work - but that might be hard. Nothing wrong with a used 8, but given how cheap you can get a new 04 I would not pay much for a used one. Maybe $21k-22k for a loaded up car and under $20k for a sports pack car. It just does not make sense to spend more for used. If you found a NEW 04 MT with sports pack it should be around $21,125-$22,125 . If you ARE looking for an auto, there might be one of those around as a new 04 that would be under your price. Dennis |

Lester Raines in S. Charleston, WV had 8 last time I was there. My post # 711 outlined some of the options and the price they quoted me for each. I haven't been there or talked to them since (I try to stay away - I've spent all my money on 8 accessories...), but I'm willing to bet they still have some. baptistandy...they might be a good source for you as well. some of the cars were fairly nicely equipped. Mine is a MT with sport, no leather, no sunroof, does have a navigation, I got it out the door for $21K. They ARE dealing on these cars and they were super to work with. Look back at post # 711. My bet is that those numbers are not bottom dollar either!!

Dennis is right, unless the used one is dirt cheap, don't do it. There are untitled 04's out there and as he posted earlier, the 05's are gonna have to start coming down soon as well. After understanding (somewhat) the dynamics of the car, I'm glad I didn't buy a used one because I REALLY want to know how the car has been treated during it's life. Patience will pay off. I wanted one the minute they hit the lots, but curbed my enthusiasm until just this past march. Got a leftover 04 at a price that I can live with. Had I bought sooner, I would be moaning about my high payments. ps I can't post any phone numbers for lester raines, but the web site is www.lesterraines.com. there is no info on there beyond the hours and phone numbers, but you can get that much. |

Replying to: baptistandy (May 26, 2005 6:50 am) It took them a while for the 04 dealer money to max out at $4,000 (or $4,500). What is likely to happen is some rebate/money will be put on the 05s and there will be lots of choices. As those sell and the choices get less, sales slow so they will up the money for better prices. They may do this in several stages. So the best selection can come with the highest price. Lowest price (like right now) can mean the worst selection. You can call McNutt Auto Transport and ask - you will need the city and ZIP for both the dealership and where you want the car delivered. An non covered (open) haul might be $800-$1,000 depending on the distance. I have used them 3 times in the past, once to sell a 'vette and twice to buy cars. Dennis |

these cars when I was at Raines because so many of you posters are far away. They said they would be happy to help out in that regard. They may have shipper they use as well - didn't ask that questions. the zip for Raines is 25309. I looked back at my earlier post and some of those red ones I listed first are nicely equipped. I added a spoiler to mine for just under $300 from my dealer.
