Edit: rude word
I think I got a good deal though - 3 grand off book price. BTW, don't you just love the yanks talking about their $25,000-$30,000 car
Thanks for the welcome everyone :D

Man, what a day 
They told me to turn up at 4pm but the 8 actually hadn't been delivered yet. So waited a bit in anticipation* and then watched it arrive on the truck! What a joy mate - I wish I'd brought my camera.
They unloaded it and it had - get this - 2km on the clock. 61km now! I'm writing this and still can't believe I own one.
* Peter C. at city Mazda was awesome. Not my sales guy but he kept me company while we waited. He obviously loves rotories and had me fully pumped for the arrival. Gave me some good tips and contacts too. Jay was a nice bloke too - all business though. I think Peter's still new and keen. Changed my mind in general about City Mazda.
It's worth the wait, Gomez (ordered mine a month ago). Looking forward to hearing your tales.

Well, it's a beautiful thing.................
The shut lines are perfect, the paint is A1, unmarked, I spent ten full minutes looking for a blemish, and did not find one.......
The bumpers even match!!!
They missed my 2nd special key, and the dooverlackey that holds the drivers mat in position won't doover as req'd....But everything else works, is in top nick, and there is no sign of Winning Blue buyers remorse!
Bliss.
And doesn't the instrumentation look horn at night.....

Too bad I am in 12 demerit points and a very good boy now!

Yeah - I'm a little slow. A motoring journo mate took me their on the weekend on the way back from Mt Dandenong, which was unfortunately full of Sunday drivers, L-platers, trailers, caravans...
Bummer about the points - very frustrating I bet.

Where's the Boulevard gents - sounds good. One of my first drives in the 8 was down the Peninsula and take the Flinders road C777 past Cape Shanck and then up to Red Hill - a great drivers day out with a nice glass of red to finish off at one of the many wineries.

All the paint protection really is, is a liquid wax substance which they apply by hand to the finish of your car and polish off.
The stuff is applied quite liberally and in multiple coats to create a couple of layers on top of your clear coat.
It has the effect of adding a few layers of wax to your car, that is why they ask you to go back for a inspection/rejuvenation every 12mths in the warranty documents. It's so they can re-apply the stuff.
Cheaper to buy the car and then apply wax and polish yourself IMO.
