Looks like a hell of a deal to me. Is it a demo or something?
Sounds like a good deal to me!
I dunno how much they are marking down the leftovers, but 2 grand under invoice for a brand new car sounds like a decent deal to me.
Not a demo, just left over inventory.
Kelly Blue shows the following :
Excellent
$22,180
Good

Tell them what you want and say yes or no, give them a second to look it up and either make a deal or hang up and move on. Town North and a few others were advertising 6K off MSRP and I ended up finding a dealer in San Antonio that gave me 10K off sticker. I took a few hours and about 20-30 phone calls but it worked.
If you can find a local deal like that just browsing around you can probably find a lot somewhere that REALLY needs to move some of their inventory badly.
Looks like a very good deal.
www.edmunds.com will help calculate pricing.

My salesman's name was Ron Wiley, and I've got his cell number if you want it. They move tons of Miatae there.
Cool, i am closing in on a deal.
It's looking like the 2007 GT in True red, i would rather have the copper red with tan leather but....it's a good deal!
going to test drive it tomorrow, yay!

Personally, I have a 2006 Touring that I bought from Plano Toyota couple weeks back for 14,900 and 11,250 miles. The three things that come to mind that I don't care for are:
1. Cloth seats are more delicate than I thought. I can see one getting a rip or tear in near future. (Though I do like cloth in Texas summers).
2. Base stereo does not have multi-load cd capabilty and speakers are in doors only. Miata stereos are not easy to hear at highway speeds top down.
3. This one is probably all models but the seat belts frequently hang up in the seat guide. Quite annoying.
I think if I were buying new though, I would opt for the GT.
I don't speak NC yet. What are the major differences?Quote:

the only difference that I have found is upgraded stereo, and the heated leather seats...oh and 17in wheels on the GT instead of 16in on the sport.
I was concerned about the seats, they looked flimsey to me too, i think i am going to test drive the GT tomorrow.
thanks!
5-speed..............................
If the "Sport" comes with 16" wheels and a 5-speed transmission, it sounds like Mazda changed the package names for the NC in '07 (they did the same thing with the RX-8 ). In this case, it sounds like your "Sport" is actually the same as an '06 Base.
A quick look on Mazda's website shows that a Sport is missing the following equipment compared to a GT:
- 6-speed (only available with a 5-speed)
- Fog lights (standard on GT, only available w/ Convenience Package on Sport)
- Cruise control (standard on GT, only available w/ Convenience Package on Sport)
- Power door locks (standard on GT, only available w/ Convenience Package on Sport)
- Remote keyless entry (standard on GT, only available w/ Convenience Package on Sport)
- Steering wheel with speed and audio controls (standard on GT, only available w/ Convenience Package on Sport)
- In dash 6-disc changer (standard on GT, not available at all on Sport)
- Bose 7-speaker stereo (standard on GT, not available on Sport)
- Heated leather seats (standard on GT, not available on Sport)
- Suspension Package, including Bilstein shocks and limited slip diff (optional on GT, not available at all on so-called Sport)
Sounds to me like there's a whole lot of differences between the two models that you've missed.
Here's an example of Mazda package renaming confusion: an '07 "Sport" RX-8 is actually identical to an '06 "Base" model 6-speed RX-8. By contrast, an '06 "Sport" RX-8 comes with HIDs, traction control, and fog lights, which are all noticeably absent from an '07 "Sport", even though the packages share the same name.
Honestly Billy, maybe you ought to spend five minutes on Mazda's website familiarizing yourself with the different packages before you spend $20,000 on a new car. It might save you some heartache down the line.
Does the sport have Cruise Control and intermitten wipers?
Either way, you have identified the differences, now you must decide if those features are worth the money to you. They were to me, thats why I got the GT, and as said before, the bun warmers are really nice this time of year. Even when it's warm outside, I find the heated seats are soothing to a sore back.
I have spent way more than 5 minutes on their site...lolQuote:

I was trying to remember off the top of my head, what the differences are between the two.
I will probably go with the GT, i just hope they dont sell it before i can get out there.
There is no difference between LSD and Susp package, as the LSD comes in the Suspention Package, that is the only way you can get the LSD.Quote:
