Is it possible to do better than S-plan? Should I not mention S-plan to the dealer and see if I can negotiate a better price? Has anyone done this?

Price for 1999 10th Anniversary edition by johnd15

I am looking at a 1999 10th AE Miata with 19,000 miles on it. Excellent condition. Asking price is $14,500; KBB suggested retail is $13,210; Edmunds TMV even less. Anyone out there keep an eye on prices for collector models? I am leery to pay even SR since I am cheap but is this what market dictates? It is a beautiful car... but there are always others.
 
Thanks for any thoughts...

I wouldn't exactly call the 10th AE edition, a collectors item (meaning: I wouldn't pay extra for it), but with only 19K miles, it does sound like a nice car.
 
If you post the details here: Real-World Trade-In Values, a professional can give you some idea what it is really worth.

Well, assuming it's actually in perfect condition (get it checked by a mechanic of your choosing!) I'd say it's worth between $10-$11k. This is based on my own extensive research into low mileage 99 Miata prices.
 
I recently bought a absolutely perfect 99 Miata with 14k miles for $8500. The premium that the 10th Anniversary Edition gets over the regular is not that much ... about $2,000 I'd say based on completed eBay auctions. I've seen slightly higher mileage (~50k) 10th Annivs sit unsold on dealer lots for months that were advertised at $10.5k. Though these numbers will vary slightly depending on area. I'm in N.Cal, FYI.
 
Hope this helps.

1999 10th Anniv. Miata price by johnd15

Thanks for your replies kyfdx & cacophony777....wholesale price estimated at $9K according to someone replying to Real World Trade In post... seller looking to make a big score. I offered $13,200 and he declined... countered at $14,100. Glad I checked here... it is easy to be seduced by a nice car and act irrationally... I retracted...
 
If you see another low mileage 99 or 2000 Miata around under $10K (5 spd, Bose & leather seats only), let me know! I check eBay often.

Hi
 
I am a 39 y.o. (for the 3rd time, lol) mom who bought a 03 miata this june. I LOVE this car. My 10 year old rides with me and I like being able to turn off the airbag on the passenger side. The car had only 6200 miles on it and I got it for around 14000. Would buy it again in a heartbeat.... very nimble in the handling!

Price in Mesa, Arizona by techtool

In mid-August I paid $23600 vs. sticker of approx. $25200 for a 2007 Grand Touring manual transmission at Cardinale Way Mazda in Mesa, plus outrageous and non-negotiable (for me, anyway) $500 doc fee, which I have heard is typical in Phoenix. The car had some "packs" - window tint and "desert protection" coating for which I did not pay or include in the MRSP. The buying experience was pretty straighforward and involved only one "walking out and being called back episode." Not a great deal, but adequate. Only a little pressure to buy extended warranties, etc. All-in-all a pleasant and fast car buying experience. Can't comment on their financing, as I paid cash. I get unlimited free car washes, 20 free oil and filter changes, and various other discounts. Probably not a great deal, but good enough. Love the car.

2006 Grand Touring -- Good deal? by pasquali56

Just bought a very gently used '06 Grand Touring, 4200 miles (only owned 4 months by first owner), manual, silver with saddle leather, satellite radio already installed (of course, I need to subscribe), spoiler, premium package, for $18,750 plus taxes and fees. This car is impeccable and just like new. I think it's a good deal and hope there's no buyer's remorse. Anyone want to tell me that I needn't fret? Thanks.

Okay.. don't fret!
 
I'm not sure what used Miatas go for... but, that seems like a good deal for a car with really low miles...
 
It sure beats dropping $25K for a new one!
