After much research, road tested Miata, 350Z and Accord Coupe. All are attractive, but I wanted to have some fun with the top down. I will be buying or leasing in about a week. It is a 3rd car, other is a suv and 4 door (wife & 2 teen drivers) I was offered this (did not negotiate yet) Grand Touring with Leather, soft top and limited slip package = $25,900 Lease for 24 months at $295 with 2000 + tax down, 10,500 miles Lease for 36 months at $369 with 0 down, 10,500 miles Any recommendations on model choices? How do you like your car? Is the door cupholder annoying? THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE

| There's still quite a bit of stock in new 2007 Miatas in my area, I even have choice of color that I want. Anyone ever bought a new car almost a whole year after they hit the lot? What kind of a discount can you expect? Should I offer the used price? | |

First, I hate the door cupholder. Easily the worst "improvement" they've made. I'm 6-0, it hits my knee square. Ouch. Unless you're planning on racing it, I'd sure look hard at the PRHT - that's the only reason why I traded in my 2000 LS. Have only had it a week, but love the hardtop.  as for price - got blue book retail for my old car, off a price that was 1000 off MSRP. So figured I did ok - was leery about holding out longer, just because of fuel and shipping costs, plus any currency fluctuations. --decided that while they may cut a better deal at the end of the season, the possible price increases made me jump on this one. plus - got the PRHT on a Grand Touring, with the 6 speed but on other options - just the way I wanted it. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 27, 2005 3:23 pm) It was very difficult to find my 08' PRHT in stormy blue mica with tan leather..... but I finally did. Got this car with sirius satellite radio, wheel locks, and premium pkg 2 for $29225 + tax & license. I also bought the extended warranty (10 years/100,000 mi) for about $1300, but it was important to me. Most dealers in CA were adding an additional $5000 for this car, but my dealership (Lithia Motors in Fresno CA) does not add this in. Funny thing is that, I shopped all over the state (our dealer only had red) and a dealer in another town wanted to sell me the exact same car for $6000 more!!! Lithia, who does a LOT of car sales and trades, was able to get this same car for me. I didn't know that is was the same one until I saw the sticker on the window showing the dealership who originally had it. Yeah for me!
