If you can still find a leftover 2004 RX-8
There's over $4k in incentive money that can be applied. Consider that an RX-8 with the GT Package invoices at ~$29k, a leftover can probably be had for less than that, then lop another $4k off it, and you've got a new, loaded RX8 for probably less than $25k. (FWIW, someone's year old GT RX-8 just went for about $24k on ebay).
Find a base model RX-8, and you're looking at about $21k. Yes, it's a car that's more than a year old the day you buy it, but I don't think that there's a better value out there. M3 killing performance for 1/3 the price. |

So does that mean I can lease one cheap since the resale is higher than the cost to buy a new one? |

If I were looking for a car right now, and was able to find a base 04 RX8, I'd probably buy it. |

OTOH, leases seem to be pretty good too right now. BTW...joining the Mazda Motorsport program qualifies you for S Plan Mazda pricing. Wonder if the PIN would be good for X Plan Ford prciing? |

good grief. if i was seriously bored with my own car and wanted to try something different, i would absolutely, no question buy an rx8 right now. one thing that i recently learned about financing is that in the commonwealth of MA, it isn't allowed to penalize people for early payoff of loans. but i digress. what a phenomenal car for the money.
