#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!

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.

#140 of 167 Leftover 2008 discounts by tishpit1 Mar 18, 2009 (2:03 pm)
I've cross posted on the 2008 thread as it seems to have more action, but this is really a price question. Looking at a leftover new 2008 Grand Touring that is stickered at $26,585. It was advertised at $22,400. At the same dealership, a new '08 Touring was reduced $6,000 off sticker and was sold. Can I expect a similar or better discount on the GT? Also, can you still lease a 2008??? (The color is dark which is not popular in south Florida, so I figure that is one of the reasons the car is still unsold).

The dealer in Milwaukie and Hillsboro seem to be the most aggressive in getting rid of remaining inventory. Replies to this message: tishpit1 (Mar 29, 2009 5:31 pm) ezshift5 (Mar 29, 2009 6:46 pm)

Replying to: tishpit1 (Mar 18, 2009 2:03 pm) US buyers may want to try Canada Toronto area for new left over 2007 and 2008's with full warranty. I am 450 miles away from Toronto. I just purchased a 2007 GT with PP for $22,000.00 Can. plus taxes   If you buy from the USA there is a big money exchange discount and u still do not have to pay the Can taxes.   At one time I used to buy my cars in the states when the exchange rates were much lower or reversed.   Just check with your American customs as to what the procedures are. Some of the Toronto dealers may be able to give u that info.
#143 of 167 Buyer Beware! by tishpit1 Mar 29, 2009 (5:31 pm)
Replying to: erics6 (Mar 19, 2009 8:37 am) Be careful of low-balling prices. I just wasted a half day at a Mazda dealership about an hour or so drive from my home. The dealer offered me an in-stock '08 Sport Auto. at about $7,000 under sticker. When I showed up to do the deal, they first showed NOTHING for my trade, then wrote it up without the 7k discount... only sticker minus Mazda rebate! They played games with the numbers to the point I left and was ready to give up on a new Miata altogether. But I got a call from another dealer... 1 1/2 hr. drive away... has a Touring in stock, not a color I prefer, but this time I have prices in writing before venturing out there. We are very close... if it's going to work, will have the car by Tuesday. If not.. will wait till March '10 and try for a leftover 2009 and in the meantime pay down the current car and save more $$$. Will let you know what happens! Replies to this message: ezshift5 (Mar 29, 2009 6:46 pm)

Yesterday Tracy Honda showed a $5k rebate number on four 2008 MX-5 cars.   Please keep those cards and letters coming.   ez....
#145 of 167 GREAT DEAL... GREAT DEALERSHIP! by tishpit1 Mar 31, 2009 (6:51 am)
After being lied to, beaten up, and game-played with the numbers, I was about ready to concede and give up on a new Miata. Then, I found an ERROR in a local dealership's website. The Mazda site said they had several automatic '08 Miatas. According to the dealer site, they had none... all sticks. I called and learned Mazda site was correct. They had about 6 leftover '08's all automatics! I faxed them my price. They faxed back a Purchase Order that had a LOWER bottom line than I offered and 5% APR for 60 mos. I drove down last night after work, ready to have them switch the price and jack it up and play games. Much to my surprise, the salesman was WONDERFUL, the managers were GREAT, they honored their price and I was driving home in a new silver Touring!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Naples Mazda in Naples, FL. The most trouble-free and honest dealing I've had with any dealer in years. Ask for Dan! (No, I'm not being paid for this endorsement LOL!).

Replying to: bayfrontcruise (Mar 15, 2009 6:14 pm) Just bought a 2008 Touring rag top with sport suspension, wheel locks, appearance package for 19,493 here in Panama City Florida. Dealer was only going to come down the 5grand Mazda is taking off 08's but I showed him what USAA buying service listed as their price to members and he gave me that.
