Your #1 to post from Michigan with an RX-8, the first one in Michigan hmm, probably not. but I would say close.

Thanks for the picture. Awesome license plate also.

 

Congrats on the great car and I hope you enjoy it.

I am looking for a full write up if you are the first one to get past break in period (if you are doing a break in).

 

CONGRATS man!!! Enjoy the ride!!!

 

Great car... congrats!

Just curious... did you order any options with yours? Been told here in Texas that no cars with options were released Friday, only cars without options. Wondered if that's true any where else.

 

yes, yes, enjoy the ride and the killer car.!

Good luck to everyone next week, I hope everyone that was been waiting get their cars too!!

 

Yes I had NO options ordered on mine, My best friend also ordered his the same day I did mine but with a spoiler and 6pk CD and he hasn't got his yet.

 

Congrats on the. I'm still impatiently waiting in Michigan.

What dearlership did you work with? Did you get it at MSRP?

 

sterling Mazda Steve Boyce great people to deal with very understanding of how picky about your car you can be they had my car in the back storage as soon as it was unloaded of the truck in fact they called me as soon as the truck pulled into their parking lot before they even unloaded my car, the employees had to ask my permission to even look at the car unbelievable service I even got them all pizza.
and yes MSRP it is but with a great financing 3.34% 60mths.:D

 

I'm going through Sterling Mazda as well. They have treated me good so far as well. It's good to know Another person has positive views on them. I just hope they don't go overboard on the pricing since I won't be getting mine till december and by then I think getting MSRP would be like the ultimate christmas gift.

I'm using SESI Mazda in Ypsilanti.

I have $1000 refundable deposit down and they seems to be nice enough. I've only received one call from the sales manager with an update since I put down the money in Febuary. I'm in the first allocation and I'm a little nervous about dealer mark-ups once the cars arrives. I'm just waiting for the "Your car is in AND we're marking it up $3000.. take it or leave it." So I'd like to have another back-up plan in case they get greedy.

 

Any thoughts on the stereo system?

hmmm Stereo system all I can say is that my brother has 98 BMW with 10 speaker system on it and he was amazed by my RX8 system he said "this 100 times better than mine" so there.
it is awsome I loved the bass on it and my favorite feature is the mute button on the steering wheel very handy when you get a phone call while driving not that you are supposed to do that but oh well.

 

I just returned from sterling mazda, and, I don't know what 3-rotor and Rx-Nut have to say about this, but the dealer there said yours was the first Reported delivery.

yeah but it's the time he actually picked it up that counts and 3Rotor picked his up Friday afternoon:D

 

Still waiting for mine.... grrr....

Dealer (Suburban in Troy) says it'll be here by the end of the week.
So begins the countdown

 

Still waiting here too. ETA was Monday the 21st. It's the 23rd and still no car. Grrrrr

 

Got mine two days ago, like you I got the Velocity red 8 also.

I haven't seen a 8 around here and I love the attention.
