Based on recent net postings, it seems that some dealers are selling 99s at
list price plus, while others are selling them for a few hundred over invoice.
Some local Miata clubs have arrangements with local dealers to offer cars to
members at a fixed amount over invoice.  Before buying a 99 (or new 97) I
recommend that you explore this possibility.  Besides, membership in a local
club has a lot of other advantages.  I believe that MIATA.NET has links to
local clubs.
