How much should I pay?

[mp3moose]

I am looking into getting an RX8 in a few weeks and wondered what kind of prices you guys have paid for yours. Definately going with apperance package and sports package. What do you think I should pay here in Houston?

I have no idea, but you'll be ***** if you go to Mazda of Kingwood. They are still adding $$ to MSRP for market adjustment and pin-stripes.

What dealer are you going to?

Jay Marks is the closest so probably there, but Jeff haas or maybe even Gillman. Hopefully its been long enough that I don't still have to pay the mark up everywhere.

What kind of options are you looking at? I'll give you a price breakdown.

6 speed, apparence package and sports package with cloth seats. Rear spoiler and fogs are the only other options I'd want.

They're nice cars, a little under powered, but really nice all the same. Your lucky you won't have to buy snows for the car, you have to buy special rims, no stea;ies for this bad boy. You gettin rid of the MP3???

Cant get that kind of equipment because of the way its grouped. If you want that stuff you have to get leather. You're looking at around 30-32k range. Once again, I work for Mazda so I do know what I'm talking about. Most of the time, lol.

There was a RX-8 on ad this week in So Cal for a Touring Model six speed for $26,999 as a loss leader. A Touring package has an invoice of $27,652 and a MSRP of $29,900. The Invoice on a Sports package model is $26,361 and a MSRP of $28,400. I personally would offer them $500 over and work from there. Save up and get a kit instead of the factory one personally but its your choice. gl and good choice

MSRP for 6 spd with the sport package, apperance package, and rear wing spoiler is $29,725. The fog lights and xenon headlights come with the sport package. You can get the car for invoice which is $27,271 less a $500 Mazda loyalty rebate. Don't pay anymore than that.
