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?

I just bought a leftover '08 Touring for about $8,000 off sticker... VERY happy! I've seen used ones costing more. If I were you, I'd GRAB it! Personally, I prefer the front appearance of the '08's as the '09's have that big "smiley" front that I think detracts from the look of the car. Seems like all the Mazda models are heading towards that look... why... I haven't a clue.

I bought my MX-5 in 2007 and I prefer my front end over the 2009's. I don't like the red tail lights either.

I've had my Copper Red Mica for exactly one year now and absolutely LOVE it. I've never regretted the choice. The color was unique to the NC (third generation) MX-5 when it debuted as an '06 model. It's a definite head-turner on this car and actually changes color slightly depending on the ambient light... very classy. It stands out just enough to be noticed, but without screaming, "look at me!" -like the "too orangey" True Red. My second choice was the Galaxy Grey, but at the end of the day, wanted something a bit brighter and more unique. The Grey, IMO, blends into the highway and the daily commuters a little too much for me. On the other hand, the Copper Red color may date itself before the GG does. Galaxy Grey will hide dirt & dust better than the CRM, so that's a consideration. You really can't go wrong with either choice, but for my money the CRM had more "wow" factor.
