drove by the dealer, just to take a look, walked away with an 08 sunlight silver gt for 23,650 before tax license. 1000 under the 24,650 msrp. i can live with that.

the first 2 dealers i went to had 3k and 5k markups.

will take pics tomorrow if you guys want.
she had 36 miles on it.
 
Really? I test drove one at a local dealer and noticed it sat in their lot for 3-4 months.
 
I got mine for sticker, but got a helluva deal on my trade-in :)

It's all how the decide to work it...I got $600 off MSRP and an extra $2300 above trade-in book on my 04 Mazda3s.

36 miles? Mine only had 11 when I picked it up :p

i'll post more pics when i actually decide leave the warmth of the house.

i still can't believe some dealers are charging 3-5k markups. they didn't want to budge on msrp at first, but i told them no thanks since i was deciding between an s2000 and the ms3, i didn't need a car, it was a want thing and i could wait 6 mos to buy a car or not buy one at all.

yea that's my wife's car. automatic, but it is lowered, suspension is done on that.

time to start on the suspension work on the ms3, it needs to be lowered badly, i feel like i'm driving a bus compared to the is300 (hi)

I hear ya. I love the seating position in the IS300...something about that car always made me smile - I'm jealous.
 
damn even better than i thought, the dealer got me 7.24% apr and gave me a week to find a better rate.

walked into my credit union and they gave me 5.99%
 
Congrats on the ride... be sure to get the hell out of my way or keep up if we run into each other on the 405 or the 101 :) (poke)
 
I cant believe that in other parts of the country that the MS3 is being marked up. Where I live (near Detroit) there is no mark up at all
