Looking for a sports car bargain: $5K rebate on '08 Miatas!
Friday night while surfing Miata.net, I learned that Mazda just unveiled $5000 rebates on remaining '08 Miatas. I've been tire-kicking '06's waiting for the right deal (and also for my '99 to sell). Well, they were already selling for around invoice +/-, and adding the rebate made it too tempting to resist.
I immediately went to Mazda's website, and sent requests for quotes for every suitable model within 250 miles. I ended up w/ a GT in True Red/Black, w/ Suspension and Premium #2 Packages. Listed for around $27,300, got it for $19,995 - complete w/ all kinds of goodies like heated leather seats, keyless ignition (just like the M3 and Vette), a Bose stereo that actually sounds decent, etc. My '99 10AE Miata got trashed in Austin's possibly worst hailstorm ever last Wed., and hopefully the damage will be high enough to get them to total it. I plan to keep the new one relatively stock as long as I have the 10AE, then use some of the proceeds from it to start some light mods (rollbar, coilovers, etc.)

28k for a Miata is getting raped. Even 20k doesn't seem all that great. Considering the thing came out in 1990 and it pretty much looks the same.

I SOOOO agreee with you.. Like a 1990 Corvette went for 32K back in 1990 and now it goes for like what 60K-70K OMG!!!! It's the same car!!! anyways...... 5K discount eh... Miata's start at 22K so if there are any base model lying around that's a hell of a deal
