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.

As long as it is a professional repair it should have no affect on resale.
 
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.

Agreed, when I was shopping some of the used 06-07 prices actually overlapped with the brand new 08 pricing.
 
I got my PRHT Touring for $22k, when they first came out it was a $28-30k car.

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.

Well, mine was also a model year 2008 and they are trying to sell the last few of those. That explains the $2500 rebate, anyway.
 
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.

I'm resisting going to the local dealers. I know if I go and they agree to something more than $9k off and I'll end up buying. I really do like the PRHT but don't need it. I'm happy with my 93. Maybe someday.
 
Another Portland dealer was advertising $9k off sticker this last weekend. Of course most of the cars left are loaded GT's and PRHT's that sticker close to $30k. A lot of automatics left.

Ugh, my timing was bad.
 
I got a $2500 rebate but I hear the rebate is now a whopping $5000.
 
If you seriously want one, I doubt there will ever be a better time to buy. Heck, I thought I was getting a great deal, imagine paying $2500 less.
 
The catch? Selection is dwindling, you probably won't get exactly what you want.
 
I'm bummed because I was pretty flexible. Oh well.

That's the problem. I found exactly what I want. Black and tan PRHT GT with suspension and appearance package. Must resist!

You'll probably pay less than I did for a Touring PRHT.
 
There will be no better time - possibly ever.
 
What shocked me was they increased the rebate just as Spring started. Who would have predicted that?
