#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.

#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).

Replying to: bayfrontcruise (Mar 15, 2009 6:14 pm) I've seen weekend ads in the Oregonian for $7,000 off MSRP for all 08's left in stock. 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)

#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.

#148 of 167 2008 Leftover Miata Pricing by lch77 Apr 26, 2009 (9:52 am)
All the local dealers in southeast PA seem to be advertising $6,000 to $6,200 off. That would appear to be the $5,000 rebate plus about 1/2 of the dealer profit (this is based on 2009 pricing since Edmunds is either no longer publishing invoice pricing for the "08's or I can't find it. Most the cars I have found are GT (both hard & soft top with either Automatic or Maual) and range in MSRP from about $29,000 to $32,000. I'm guessing that invoice on these cars is about $2,500 less than MSRP. I would think that a dealer would be happy to sell a 2008 Miata for Invoice less the $5,000 rebate or at least $7,5000 of MSRP. However, Mazda has always seemed to be more secretive than others in disclosing all of the rebates that are available to the dealer.   I'm also guessing if 2008 Miata's remain unsold by the end of April, they'll extend or increase the promotion through May.   I made a low ball offer of $13,500 yesterday on a Blue GT PRHT with an MSRP of $29,620. I proposed $8,120 discount plus $8,000 for my 2002 Audi A4 3.0 Quatro, loaded, clean but with 140,000 miles. They came back with $5,000 for the A4 and a discount of $6,989. The discount sounds OK until you are told that they had a parking lot accident that they've repaired but remains on the title.   There are at 3 Black/Tan Miata's within 35 miles of here and I'll see what they can do and report back. It looks like my best bet will be to find a private buyer for the A4 around $7,000 (since I just put $2500 into the A4) and "courtesy trade" it on the Miata.   Anyone have a better handle on invoice pricing on the 2008's and/or reports how much off MSRP (or under/over invoice) people are paying for these?
