Should I wait until April to Buy 2015 Mirage (new)

[Eggman]

Hey guys Officially they just put $3500 in rebates on 2015 mirages time to buy is now!

Dontee ain't lying. I confirmed this with one of my local dealers.

Thanks for the heads up.

If I were buying now, I would certainly go with a used one, as they depreciate quite a bit and there are some low-mileage ones available.

With the newly announced $3500 rebate and some dealers discounting up to another $1K on top of that, it almost doesn't make sense to buy a used one (at least not in the US). Some of the used prices I'm seeing aren't significantly lower than what I can buy a new one for right now.

I've been on the fence for a while, but that extra $2k of rebates they just kicked in will be enough to get me seriously looking now. A DE 5-speed should be in the low $9K ballpark now, and an ES 5-speed should be a bit over $10K (not including sales tax). This is probably one of the few times that it's worth buying new over used.

I just priced an ES at about $12,500 total with tax & fees.

Wowzers,

I want to thank you guys for encouraging me to wait. I was seriously about to buy on the last days of February and would have really been mad at myself if I had pulled the trigger.

Also I was looking at a used 2015 from a private person for $8500 but even that deal is not as good as a new one with the $3500 rebate.

Thanks Dontee for the heads up.

With that kind of rebate with the 10/100k power train warranty on new, one of those rare times that buying new makes more sense if you're inclined to keep your Mirage for a long time (which seems to be the case with most people on the forum). Never going to get any better than now. If I could do it I'd pull the trigger on a second one in a heartbeat.

He just put that Ad up today. He must be in cuckoo land if he thinks he is getting $8000 for a crashed mirage with a rebuilt title

EDIT: 2 days later the price has been reduced to $5000

Yes, this is Breaking News -- confirmed in Chicagoland DE 5 speeds 8K ES CVT just over 10K. Hmmm I am thinking about it

A $3500 factory rebate on a $13,000-ish new car?? Man...I am half tempted to buy a SPARE!

[Dontee]

Hey Everyone I dont lie. Im not a typical sales consulant. Just found out Officially that $3500 Rebate, can actually be $4000 Rebate, With $289 of mark up from MSRP to Invoice you could legitimately get these cars priced out way under what you can find a used one for. Good luck buying the 15s up. 17 hit in one month

And the big rebate can be applied to the base car, not just the top level trim? (That's the usual fine print in my experience.)
