I cannot believe that I can purchase something so fun for so little cost. I am thrilled and if you have any other thoughts please let me know.

Replying to: bpraxis (Apr 21, 2009 3:59 pm)  I sat in a Smart For Two convertible at the NY Auto Show and the base model was $16.9 or so, more than that Miata! For a dinky little 70hp 3 cylinder. Crazy! I wrote a letter to Mazda pleading my case - I missed the rebate by 18 days. I doubt they'll give me the extra $2500 (not a chance), but I'm hoping they at least offer some free accessories or some type of discount coupons. I think you can't go wrong. Used ones are actually priced higher than what you are paying. Seriously.

Replying to: ateixeira (Apr 22, 2009 6:43 am) Once again thank you very much for your very well thought out feedback and insight. One of the advantages of the deflation that we are experiencing is a big leg up for the buyer. And the relentless competition of the marketplace. The Mini has had an impact on Miata sales in my opinion. I cant believe the values in home prices now. Please wish me luck and no dings or dents. As you know the 1990 Miata started at approximately $14,000.00 and adjusted for inflation in todays dollar would have an MSRP of $24,000.00. I will let you know what happens and I am very grateful for your advice.

I knew I couldn't wait any longer, so I pulled the trigger today. Picked up a Galaxy Gray with the suspension and premium package. $9250 off $27,235 sticker. Total OTD price of $18,203 with license and registration. (No sales tax in Oregon.) My other half drove it home. She promised I could drive it to the beach tomorrow. Saw an ad at another dealer for $9782 off sticker, but it was a loaded automatic without the suspension package. My friend came over with his wife and picked up my 93. Sad to see it go, but know it's going to a good home. Looking forward to many years of happiness with my new Miata!

Replying to: erics6 (Apr 25, 2009 8:37 pm) Other people I've heard from are only getting $7-8 off MSRP, so you did real well. Congrats! $18,203 is an economy car price, wow!

Replying to: ateixeira (Apr 29, 2009 10:50 am) I am sorry that you did not get to take advantage of the same rebate. In this type of economy there will probably be great buying opportunities in the future for great prices. As you know some dealers play games and there are also those unpleasent surprises and that is what I meant by wishing me good luck in delivery. Thank you again for all of your advice and keen insight.

Replying to: bpraxis (Apr 29, 2009 3:45 pm) I did write a letter to Mazda begging for sympathy. Hopefully I can at least get a discount on accessories, something. Anything.
