#36 of 226 Re: MX-5 Power Retractable Hard Top [alaw35] by aviboy97 Aug 08, 2006 (10:59 am)
Replying to: alaw35 (Aug 07, 2006 6:55 pm) Any idea of when dealerships will get the RHT in stock?   Hopefully, November/December. Could be earlier.   The MX-5 and the 350Z are two totally different cars. However, the MX-5 is a true roadster and owns a spot in the Guiness Book of World Records for most 2-seater roadsters sold. Also has as close to a bullet proof track record as you can get, with great resale value.   The 350Z I have found to be great moving in a straight line. Lots of power. It's handling leaves much to be desired.   It all depends on what you are looking for. Good Luck.

But, I guess we will see.   My local dealer said he is only getting one as well. Probably a Grand Touring with all the options. And, forget the prices quoted above, this will be a rare car for those who are willing to pay WAY above sticker to get something unique... just like the original Miata.... Too bad.
#38 of 226 MX-5 Power Retractable Hard Top demand? by gputz Aug 13, 2006 (4:12 pm)
My local dealer says he will be sticking to MSRP for upcoming orders on the RHT. What do people think about the demand for this car? Is MSRP a good price or would a smart buyer wait six months and hope the car does not have a waiting list with a premium over MSRP? There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest or demand yet... Will anyone want these? I live in the northeast and a hardtop is more appealing than a fabric or vinyl roof. Is that a common opinion?

Replying to: gputz (Aug 13, 2006 4:12 pm) If I didn't have 2 cars I would buy the HT. I assume MSRP will be the norm up here in the Northeast. Inventory of the soft tops is going up in the Boston area so discounts on 2006s should be good though.

Replying to: vegasresident (Jul 31, 2006 11:40 am) Have a 06 GT (Grand touring). Within 1 week, large door speaker would give totally distorted sound about 10-20% of start ups. Trim below drivers door squeaks on entry and egress. Bose auto sound adjustment doesn't work. Took it in - speaker acting up earlier that morning but not at dealer. Service manager said they would not look at it as it would ocnstitute fraud to work on a 'sound' car. I could not believe it and told him it was not everyday that I sought to have my new car door pulled apart for no reason. Also wouldn't unplug driver seat belt chime even though owner's manual instructs owners to get dealer to turn it off if you desire. I bought this car because of its outstanding quality reputation. So far like the car a lot, hate the bugs and the terrible dealer (mis)service.

Replying to: gputz (Aug 13, 2006 4:12 pm) Wait. Like all Mazdas the price will drop. Eventually - within 6-8 months it'll be at invoice or near. within a year it'll be a sub-invoice car like just about everything else they sell. Mazda sells great cars but their target market is a niche - people who like to drive - so generally their cars sell for far less than msrp.

#42 of 226 New Stormy Blue Metallic by gputz Aug 14, 2006 (4:55 am)
(MOVED FROM THE MX-5/SOLSTICE DISCUSSION THREAD)   I just placed my first allocation order for 2 2007 MX-5 RHT(Retractable Hard Top)yesterday.    1 Stormy Blue with Saddle RHT GT/6 Speed with Premium Package and 1 Copper Red with Saddle RHT GT/Auto.   Has anyone seen the new Stormy Blue Metallic? Is that the color seen in most of the RHT promos? Lighter or darker than Stratos Blue?   Upcoming RHT - Mazda site

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Aug 13, 2006 9:27 pm) name a car company that actually sells their vehicles at or near MSRP for anything longer then 6 months? Honda no, those are given away. Toyota, nope, given away as well. Any American vehicle besides the Vette and Mustang? Nope. Not even Lexus or Acura are sold at MSRP. I have a friend that works for a BMW dealership, and even those are given away close to invoice!!   I'm a dealer and I believe MSRP is a ficticous number. Of course, I am going to always try and sell a vehicle at the number, that's my job, but, it is tough to do ,unless it is a vehicle of high demand.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 14, 2006 6:57 am) I love mazdas but compared to the big dogs like Lexus, toyota, honda, it's nigh impossible for them to sell at close to msrp. Hell, the Mazdaaspeed6 started on dealer lots with 2500 dealer cash (lease the car, then buyout the lease).   I believe compared to other japanese makes, Mazdas have a much tougher time selling at msrp. That's been my experience when shopping for myself and others. Below invoice is often within the realm of possibility for Mazda.   Regardless, it looks like the RHT will be 2400 more in the UK but that comes with extra packaging too. Hopefully that'll mean less than a 2k bump for the RHT in the USA. Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Aug 14, 2006 11:14 am) manybmws (Aug 14, 2006 4:13 pm)
