Authorised Dealers

Hi,
Anyone has dealings with the Authorised Dealers like Village Credit and Welltac Credit as advertised in the classified? Care to share your experience?

BTW, anyone knows what does FE32 in the advertised "RX-8 6MT FE32" means? Is that the most recent model number?

In addition, the current RX-8s are 2004 model, right? Anyone knows when the 2005 model will be out (ie. will it be end 2004) and whether there is any difference in the 2005 models?

Thanks!

FE32.... Straits Times classified Ads on 8 August 04, Page C6, upper right corner.... both authorised dealers' ads 1 above the other....

Also checked forum after posting that 2005 RX-8 should be out within 2 to 3 months and the main difference is White replace Yellow for colour and Key changed to those retractable keys.... Think turbo may be for 2006 model RX8....

2006 is a "maybe".... if u want a turbo car, try the Subaru Legacy 2.0 GT.... It's as fun as the 8 in the driver's seat (or maybe a bit more).

They should. So far all the JDM cars has the metal plate that showed the model number. Correct me if I am wrong.

Neither the turbo/supercharged RX-8 nor the 5th gen RX-7 are a "sure thing"...both are pure speculation (in other words, Mazda has not announced that they will be building either).
