2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata — dealer lowered price but added accessories back in

We agreed on a vehicle price, then the worksheet included dealer-installed products I did not ask for. The total is now higher than before. What is the cleanest way to negotiate from an out-the-door number? I am trying to get the facts straight before spending money.

If I were shopping this, two 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Any freeze-frame data saved? Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. Not letting add-ons ride along because everyone does.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. If they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata price probably got worse. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. No need to make it theatrical. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Asking because it changes the advice: Two 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.

Get the messy numbers in writing first. Ask for out-the-door on the 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. If they balk, that's your answer. On “5 miata — dealer lowered price but,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata in Orlando. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. That's my plan before I call anyone.
