my car is here (in DC area), who wants it
my rx-8 is here today, I got the call from Brown's Mazda in Fairfax. My '04 Sport Package, Black, wih Nav RX-8 is here and I'm about to go give it back to the dealership, unless I get a response that someone on this forum wants it . I'm not marking it up, I just want someone to have the chance to own it and I want my deposit back. I won't pick it up and pay taxes on it and sell to someone else that will need to pay taxes on it...

After reading your post I had to go it in person. But I didn't see your car....although they do have a silver automatic and a blue manual. Oh man the blue one gave me goosebumps. Whoever's car that is...man/woman you're very fortunate! Its amazing. I used to drive a 2001 325i with the SP and I really liked the way it looked, but that blue rx8 took my breath away. I saw the evolv, saw the rx8 at NY auto show, but its just different seeing it outside the show arena next to everyday cars. I just wish I wasn't going back to school, and not driving a freakin used Civic to save money for my MBA! Oh well...I graduate in 2006.

Maybe they'll hire me when I graduate in 2006, and I wonder if they have some sort of employee discount?!:p :D

malofquist,
what happens to your deposit at brown's if you can't find someone to pass the car off to? you weren't worried about that when you decided to get the is300?

Maybe by the time I graduate Mazda will start giving discounts...or maybe once I become a VP or something at Mazda, I can start this policy and be the first one to get the discount!

I'm sorry to hear Kristen left a couple months back and wish her the best of luck at Gateway. She did some great work putting back the "fast, fun and cool" into Mazda, with a real fire in her belly. Zoom-Zoom is her legacy. She will be sorely missed.

i haven't even seen it yet :-(.
I go in tomorrow to sign over that black rx-8 to ryan (he works at peter farrell's supercars.) it won't be long before you see it get turbocharged and a new computer programmed into it.
I'll probably buy it back from him then....
I'll forward this thread to Kristen
