2006 Miata

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?

When I bought mine in October I paid invoice + TTL.

Technically, no. It was a 2006 MX-5.

That was what the OP was asking about, right?

Correct. I was just surprised that they are discounting them
so much so early.

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.

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.

Per edmunds.com, MSRP on the GT is $24,435, invoice is $22,568. Does not
include destination charge, typically $500.

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?
