How much for that '96 in the window?

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 3:12 pm

Hello all
I going to purchase my first Miata this month.  What has been the going rate
for ’96′s?  I’m lookinng at the base model, which the dealer lists at $17,500
US dollars (equivalent, I’m actually in Canada) for the base model.  Are there
any opinions on a good price to negotiate or tips on how to do so?
Thanks…………..Doug

  1. Check out Edmunds new car pricing guide on the web.  I think the
    address is http://www.edmunds.com but if that doesn’t work just use a
    web searcher loke yahoo to search for "edmunds".  They list dealer
    invoice and list price for most cars new and used plus any incentives
    or rebates that are available.  I wouldn’t pay more than a couple of
    hundred over invoice because there are plenty of miatas sitting on the
    car lots.

    Go to Edmund’s on the web (www.edmunds.com).  They provide dealer invoice and
    MSRP on almost all new cars and their options.  I used it when I bought my 96 M
    Edition, and it helped a lot.

    That won’t do you any good here in Canada.  Just figuring the exchange doesn’t
    give you an accurate price in other countries.   I have been searching for an
    equivalent Canadian website , but haven’t found one.  If anyone comes across a
    source, please post it.

    Perhaps other canadian ’96 buyers can share their negotiating results.

    for Susan/Doug,

    I just bought my first Miata (picked it up 3days ago), and I am also
    in Canada.  If you wanna email me, I’d be happy to give you the
    numbers I was quoted, tell you how the negotiations went (no punches
    were thrown), and how it ended up.  I hate buying new cars, but in
    this case, the result was worth the hassle!
