Replying to: ukjim (Oct 10, 2006 11:24 am) Any advice on how much a deal to expect at this time? Which dates would be the best to buy in the next 3 months. I read the buying new car article on Edmonds on how to get quotes thru the fleet sales dept at the dealers competing with each other. I definatly will be using that tactic along with getting my own financing pre approved from a lendor. Any idea's on the stock Sports RX-8 and the full loaded model? Wife demands an AT>  Any advice is greatly appreciated! |

No wonder there are incentives on the 07 models already. Things are really bad. This is Oct 06 Oct 05 % change 06 YTD 05 YTD % change RX-8 640 1,212 (47.2)% 8,180 12,804 (36.1)% 640 cars sold for the whole month and just 8,180 for the year - down nearly 50% for the month and 47% for the year. Ouch, big time. Still doing better than the S2000 S2000 294 409 -25.2% 5,685 6,942 -18.1% I guess Mazda thinks of the 8 as their "halo" car, or they may just quit making it. Rumor has it this is the last year for the S2000 convertible - just not enough sales to keep making it. Dennis |

Given the $750 incentive I would expect you should be paying around invoice or a little less for any new 07 RX-8. Get the manual transmission - otherwise just get something else. Be warned though, the 8 sucks at the pump. I get around 15mpg around town and on a long interstate trip could only get just over 20mpg. Premium gas, of course. Resale value looks to be pretty bad too. You would figure if Mazda and the dealers can't sell them new - so they have deep discounts, rebates, and incentives. So to sell a used 8 you really have to go low. Edmunds says my 05 6mt GT w/NAV w/7400 miles is worth (trade, private party, retail): $21,587 $23,407 $25,162 KBB shows: $20,900 $23,210 $25,635 Pretty sad for a car with a $34k MSRP. If it was me, I would see if the dealer had any speed6 cars on the lot. The left overs have $3,500 in dealer money on them and you should be able to pick one up really, really cheap. Get what you want and what makes you happy, but go into the 8 with open eyes as to the recalls, resale, mile economy, and thirst for oil. Then you can enjoy your new car because you considered all this up front. Dennis |

| I got a few quotes on the 06 RX8 MT with the GT package from dealers in Nor Cal. The dealers are asking $8,000 under MSRP. Can't get myself to buy one though given the issues I've read with these 8s, oil being the major factor. I've decided to wait another month, hopefully these will be going for $10k under MSRP by then. Fingers crossed. | |
