on e-bay is a nice car. The listing says they lease too. It was a $30,300 car, low miles, buy it now for 22,900 or, I'd make them an offer of about 21,500. the worst that can happen is they say NO. If you are serious, I wouldn't wait too long.

Re: baptistandy....with 04's still on the lot... [baptistandy] by dwynne

I would use the Mazda dealer locator and get on the phone and call around looking for a new 04 as well as look for used ones.
 
Invoice on a new 04 automatic with just GT (if you find one) is $27,751. There is $503 in hold back on the car and Mazda gave the dealers $4,000 as a final buy down to sell the left over 04s.
 
So $27,751 - $4,000 = $23,751 and if you get the hold back too $23,248. This would be for a new car with full warranty. So I would call around and see if you can find an AT car still on a lot some place. That is less that you are looking at for a used car IF you find the right one. I would not want to pay more than invoice - $4k for the left over and would prefer to get into the hold back as well. These are going to be 2yr old cars in a couple of months and they need to move them.

Thanks for the post. This is their main site and I can't seem to get to their Mazda inventory. Which site did you find this pricing on?

End of month pricing by yandrs

I appretiate the post from Ihess as it runs right into my question. I'm looking at '05, 6-speed, GT. Would LOVE the Shinka (great color), but could live without it. The sales guy left a message to see where I am after 2 test drives and mentioned "end of month". I know Edmunds provides TMV, but what's a realistic end of month, summer price? Given Ihess post on '04, are we at invoice yet on '05? Under? I'm not pulling the trigger until I can buy under.

$100-500 under invoice seems to be the norm. Supposed to be $1,000 rebate for MAC financing available and $2,000 in MAC lease help as well. Some dealers seem to have "Specials" advertised that seem to be well below these prices - but there is no KNOWN additional dealer money.

Found a dealer with 4000 off 2005 rx-8s by baptistandy

Joe Myers Mazda in houston is offering 4000 off all remaining 05 rx-8s. I found an ad in the newspaper today. They have a wide range still left in their inventory online. I'm going to investigate on monday. I don't think it's a rebate offered by mazda, but maybe i'm wrong. Fingers crossed that the truly rebated 05's are startin to pop up. That'll make me a happy man

The first $2k of that is the difference between invoice and MSRP - the other could just be the known rebates. That said, I have seen prices that made no sense - folks getting cars with cash or credit union loans that were "too low" to be true - but they got the deal anyway.
 
Some tricky dealers will advertise prices like these and in the fine print it will say "uses all available rebates, buyer must qualify" or words like that. So they will include recent grad rebates, loyalty rebates, captive finance rebates, etc. Some of these are rebates that 99% of the customer will not qualify for.
 
Let us know what you find out!

yandrs....lester raines does not do anything... by lhess

with their web site as far as inventory. I can't post a phone number for them here, so the "almost" web site is the only way I know to get info to folks looking for these 04's. I know about the inventory because I took my 8 in on Friday for an oil change, checked on the remaining 04's...that's the scoop.
 
My dealer said they really have nothing special going on to move the 05's (other than the lease incentives Dennis mentioned), but, of course, this dealer is interested in moving the remaining 04's as opposed to the 05 inventory right now!!

Thanks for the clarification! The hunt for sub-invoice pricing on '05's continues.............
