John La - 04 Jan 2006 02:43 GMT The car bug is starting to nibble. I went and test drove a 2006 Miata today, Nice, I have always wanted a 2 seat sports car.
So what are people paying compared to the invoice price of the vehicle?

That was what the OP was asking about, right?

I guess this particular dealership was more interested in moving cars than raping their customers. I contacted all the local dealerships using Edmunds service. These guys came back with the invoice price. No haggling, no hassling.

Chris D'Agnolo - 07 Jan 2006 21:36 GMT I'd love to know how much the invoice price was below the MSRP, and on which model.
I still think Craig could be mixing up terms, thinking that invoice is MSRP. I obviously could be wrong and I'm not calling you stupid Craig, I'm simply saying that some people get the terms confused.
Please confirm.

Lanny Chambers - 08 Jan 2006 00:20 GMT > I'd love to know how much the invoice price was below the MSRP, and on which > model. Per edmunds.com, MSRP on the GT is $24,435, invoice is $22,568. Does not include destination charge, typically $500.

Chris D'Agnolo - 08 Jan 2006 02:57 GMT Thank you, you're a gentleman and a scholar (I'm not either as I cannot be sure of the spelling and I don't care if it is wrong ;-)

I paid $25,138 out the door (i.e. INVOICE + TTL) for a 2006 MX-5 GT with PP2 and SP. MSRP was about $27k IIRC.
That's about $2000 off MSRP.
And how could saying that someone was mixing up invoice and MSRP be anything but calling them stupid?

Chris D'Agnolo - 08 Jan 2006 20:32 GMT Actually, non car people make that kind of mistake all the time. I don't have anything against non car-type people and they are not all stupid (some even drive Miatas). Are you following me here?
Point being, we're on a newsgroup here and making assumptions will usually make the person doing the assuming look stupid.
Anyway, thanks for the purchasing information, it is very useful to me.

>Anyway, thanks for the purchasing information, it is very useful to me. I should also mention that being in Oregon the Tax part of TTL was 0%. Without digging out the sales agreement, I seem to recall the price before TTL was $24920.

But what is PP2? Premium Package #2. Includes: - Xenon HID Headlights - Traction Control System - Anti-Theft Alarm System - Dynamic Stability Control - Advanced Keyless Entry
And yes, SP is Suspension Package: - Sport Tuned Suspension - Limited Slip Differential - Bilstein Shocks
