#130 of 167 2008 miata mx-5 brilliant black prht by jmocca Jul 06, 2008 (3:59 am)
i just bought a miata in northeast. grand touring with premium package for $28000 plus tax license. they are trimming prices, but they low balled me with pretty high documentation fees ($700 total).   I did not bother confronting them with it since they gave me what i believe is a sweet deal compared to 3 months ago, but still i think i should've and could've gotten a much better deal on this.   the same dealer also sold a stormy blue mica touring, which they previously told me is impossible to get due to demand.   watch your wallet

Replying to: chrishh (Jun 06, 2008 10:58 am) One local Mineapolis dealer is advertising $3k off softops and $2k off PHRT's - prices shown on Autotrader. They also ran a July 4th promo of an additional $250 off, so I picked up an 08 Touring for $3250 off sticker + $50 doc fee +TTL. Thanks Walser Mazda.

Replying to: rheaume1 (May 20, 2008 2:12 pm) I haven't pulled the string yet, as I want to see about a late-season rebate, but for information purposes, I have had three offers at invoice price on the 2008 prht grand touring with premium, suspension, and appearance packages. This is in NY. This Fall could be the best buying opportunity possible.
#133 of 167 Price paid on a lightly used model 2008 by traugh Oct 02, 2008 (8:42 am)
There was a guy in my area selling a 2008 with 5000 on craigslist for around $18K. He sold it to someone at work the day I was supposed to meet him.   Just on a hunch I went to cars.com and loaded in the year I wanted and found a copper red Touring model with 4,000 mi. and AT for under 20K. (My wife wanted the AT). It had been a rental car and is very good condition. Considering how much I saved over what the dealers were asking, I grabbed it.

#135 of 167 Whats a good deal on MX-5 Copper Mica Grand Touring PRHT in 2 weeks by Barbara1224 Dec 19, 2008 (2:20 pm)
Now I'm looking to pay at or under invoice for the 2008 model and I may or may not opt for the hard top since I'm in South Florida and it never snows. I want optimum visibility through the rear so that would determine if my choice is a soft or hard top. Now I like the engine and drive train features in the 2009 but I'm not sure its worth paying for. Here are two pictures of the car. I also don't think I'll opt for the leather interior but rather the cloth unless I get invoice or below and an even better deal.   Here are 2 pictures of a similar car.     http://www.marketgems.com/2008_mx5_grand_touring_hard_top.htm   These are some of those features.   Engine 1.8L displacement double overhead cam (DOHC), inline 4 cylinder configuration gas engine, 16 valves variable valve timing, 142 hp 7000 rpm 125 ft-lbs. 5500 rpm, regular unleaded fuel   DriveTrain 5-speed manual transmission rear wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension front and rear stabilizer bar"   I already own a Mazda 3 from this dealership in South Florida (for another 2 years) so I'm hoping he comes up with a good 36 month lease for me. What's the best I can negotiate? My credit rating is in the first tier.

I just purchased a used 2008 hard top grand touring with 1300 miles. Selling price was 21.9k. The car was fairly loaded with the suspension package, option package 1, Mazda Speed tuned exhaust, Sirius radio for 2 years, wheel locks etc. When I look at the front of the car I notice it has an air dam below the grille which I do not see on many pics I see of this car and I am not sure if this was something the owner purchased after (not sure) as some ground effects package. I do not feel like I got the best possible deal but I do think I did well. The car is sound with no flooding or wrecks etc and is basically brand new. It is the highland green which was not my first choice in color but I am glad I was open to looking at this color because I love it. I enjoy driving this roadster and I now understand the concept of what Mazda was trying to do with this car as far as making driving an experience!

Replying to: richard1957 (Jan 17, 2009 9:14 pm) Richard   I can't answer your question but I would like to comment on your deal. A year ago, I spent 30,000 for the same car (new). From my perpective, you got a great deal! Just relax and enjoy the car.
#138 of 167 new 2008: leasing deal? by tishpit1 Mar 01, 2009 (5:59 pm)
I had a 1990 original Miata... my baby girl. Sadly, I traded her for a new 2008 Nissan Sentra since I needed a 4-door sedan for work and practical reasons. I missed the loss of vitamin D from the topless Miata cruising and now... my company is getting a minivan for us to use! I can have another Miata!!!! But wait... gotta dump the nearly brand new Sentra... (very nice car, but too hard to saw off the roof!). Near-by Mazda dealer has a 2008 brand new GT with auto. reduced to $21,400 ($4,000 off sticker). I'm thinking of trying to work a trade on the Nissan and putting little $ down to keep my payments the same by leasing the Miata for 36 mos. Anyone have experience with Mazda leasing??? Can you work off a discounted price (including rebate)? Any suggestions of how to work in the trade since it is such a new car (not upside down on payments, luckily). I would prefer to lease and turn in for newer model in 3 yrs. when warranty runs out and to keep monthly payments within reason, but I've never leased before. Buying would bring too high monthly payments at this point in time. Looking for some good suggestions on how to deal with the dealer! ZOOM-ZOOM!
#139 of 167 New 2008 - Miata Prices Paid by bayfrontcruise Mar 15, 2009 (6:14 pm)
Some dealers in the Portland area are advertising 5 to 6K off of MSRP for the last of the new 2008 Miatas. Does anyone have recent new purchases to report on? Please note the MSRP & actual purchase price before your taxes etc? Thanks.   With the new federal deduction of sales taxes on new car purchases for your '09 taxes, this is a good time to look for new.
