Re: ok second try :)

I have a Mazda France Signed invoice (in fact a reservation - booking sheet).

Hope it's more clear
Is my BS meter is registering TILT?

Why would anyone pay 38K euro for the Mazda 6 when you should be able to purchase the RX-8 for less than 30k euro? My understanding is that one-euro is worth approximately one US dollar. If my dollar conversion is even close, you should be able to purchase an RX-8 for less than 30k euro, why would you buy a Mazda 6 for so much more?

Assuming my conversion rate is even close and your taxes are not totally crazy (they cannot be worst than in Canada) I do not believe that you can produce a “signed anything” from Mazda France that is showing such a purchase or pre-order. If he still claims he did, I cannot wait to hear the excuses as to why he cannot produce the scanned document.

Excuse me while I go fix my BS meter because I think it just blew up.

Well my BS meter is still buzzing and its ready to explode!!!

Where in the world is Mazda signing “anything” showing real specifications and/or showing actual dollar figures? Mazda France??? I think not.

SHOW us the document!!!

Well welcome in real world

I will scan my invoice, but please believe me it's only the reality.

Don't be shocked I am buying the first black RX8 250 hp 6 speed model for 38K euros (same in dollars).

I know it's more than previuosly told by Mazda, but Mazda France is just the same company than Mazda Japan/USA or whatever. ..

I mean they decide the price they want for which market and the french are the unluncky ones, like ever.

Do you know that the RX7 has never been imported here ?? and that when you want to buy one it's much more expensive than elsewhere (USA for example) ??

I assume that they just decided that for France, and that you will probably have a more competitive price. It will not be the first time that we pay more for a product compared to the US.

Why do you think I buy all my DVDs on amazon.com and not .fr ??

Now, you just have to pray and hope that this is not a bad sign for all of you guys.

additional information

My invoice is more precisly an "order form" made during the Automobile World Paris Fair (largest in the world by number of visitors) and is an official paper to book the car.

No technical details, just the global stuff : Rx8, Black, 250 HP, 6 speed.

Don't tell me I am a fool, ask yourself if you had in front of you the MD of Mazda US proposing that kind of stuff ...
