Happy upcoming Easter everyone and I hope that you are having a wonderful day. My local dealer has a leftover 2008 GT with an MSRP of $26,000.00. It has a small ding with a scratch on the mirror. They are offering the car at $17,600.00. It is True Red with black leather. Please tell me if you would buy this car???? What price would you offer? With appreciation and kind regards

I offered them $16,500.00 and I would live with the ding. They responded with a hard reverse sales technique that I would not be happy with the car, it was not for me. We are still negotiating and they are fixing the ding which will require some bondo and painting. Should I still be interested in purchasing this leftover red GT given the minor bodywork? MSRP: $26,000.00 Asking Price: $17,600.00

Replying to: bpraxis (Apr 09, 2009 7:33 am) If you don't buy this car please let me know - my brother is actively shopping for one and I'll tell him about this one (if you pass, don't want to block your shot). |

I will decide in the next couple of days if the car is still available and will let you know. My only concern was the bondo and repaint and the possiblity of fading over time and a mismatch. How would this repair of the ding affect resale value? With appreciation again.

Replying to: bpraxis (Apr 09, 2009 5:24 pm) Think of it this way. You are paying on the low end for a new car so less depreciation. Think of all those folks who bought near or above invoice and are now trying to sell. I've seen 06's listed for more than the remaining 08's. Not a good time to be selling.

Happy holiday to all and do you have any opinion on why the prices are dropping so fast on the Miata??? Is it the econmy combined with new competition. I will. probably purchase the Ture Red Grand Touring this weekend with the ding for $17,200.00 new. MSRP is $25,985.00 I will live with the ding and save $250.00 and maybe have it repaired later. They say that dent doctor cannot repair it because of the location but I may try them.

Replying to: bpraxis (Apr 10, 2009 6:07 pm) I think the 2009s started arriving later than expected. I bought my 2008 3 months in to 2009, and that's a bit unusual. Still, the 2009s were priced several grand higher, so I'll take an 08 and the savings. |
