If you gave Mazda your e-mail, but didn't order over the internet, should you expect the (6) emails that are supposedly to keep us informed?

 

VWjet,

Could you resize the picture in your Sig.. I run 1152x864 resolution and it still takes up a sizable portion of the screen. Thanks in advance.

 

I run and 1280x1024 and it's huge. You should do it soon or they may delete your account. Same thing happened to tribalazn. We may be seeing VWjet2 :D .

 

How do I resize? I'm just linking from the Mazda website?! HELP!

 

I just sent you a PM about this.

 

Hey VWJET,
Just Fyi, you will not be able to get S-Plan on the RX-8 til atleast January 2004. This info comes from a Q&A sheet that Mazda provided to the dealers back in January, when we made the original first pre-sold orders. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but....Looks like you will need to wait to get S-Plan or buck up and pay the piper to get it now.

My suggestion to you is to clear this up with your dealer if it is not already.

My RX-8 got its VIN# the other day as well. Mazda sent the dealers a letter on what to expect for time frame on RX-8's. Pre sold orders are to be in about Mid July and others to follow in late July early August.

 

I have an idea... How about everyone who has an RX-8 picture in their sig just gets rid of it? It's not like we don't already know what this car looks like from every available angle and in every color... :D

I feel sorry for people with dial-ups...

 

good luck with that suggestion. But when a pic is 8x6 and sometimes bigger, that's when it gets ridiculous...

 

Got my VIN today from the dealer --

JM1FE---------852

Dealer said delivery date still showed TBD but my vehicle has the lowest VIN in their system (I was the first pre-order in my city! 8:00 am on first day of pre-order sales)

Dealer also said that they have dealer "rotary" training scheduled for early June and a real production RX-8 is to arrive at the dealership for that training. He will call for me to drive it as soon as it arrives. He said the dealership gets one for training and demo purposes and is prohibited by Mazda from selling the demo until Oct. 31st.

 

Got my VIN # also. I still have a TBD ETA. But at least I have a VIN! Woohoo! The dealer is telling me June, but I'm thinking July will be more realistic. Plus, I have to be out of town for a week in the middle of June so I'm really hoping I'll be here when it comes in, or I'll have a fit. No way is my wife driving that bad boy home.

I'll get an insurance quote today.

 

Got mine today! ETA TBD.

quick question to to all u guys that are getting your VIN #'s.

are u calling your dealerships or receiving "the e-mail" from mazda? (or both?) if it's the latter could one of u post the body of the e-mail to the boards?

thanks and congrats to all u lucky bastards!

 

Mine was from the dealer. Have not received the VIN e-mail from Mazda.

 

lucky lucky.. I guess my dealer is low on the totem pole.. they dont seem to have any info for me.

 

Now I do not feel so alone...my dealer has provided no info..I would change dealers but I would lose my Preorder.....

 

Mine was from the dealer. He checked last Thurs. and it was not in system -- but it was there on Mon.

Dealer seems to be getting more on the ball with RX things. When I first pre-ordered he was clueless but helpful. Now he seems to be on top of things and getting excited about the RX. He wants the advertising to begin because he has first allocation units coming and only 3 pre-orders. Says nobody but the diehard rotary fans have any idea the car is coming out soon.

 

The latest updated list from my dealer has no VIN#s and all build dates are TBD.

 

Called my dealer, he has mine:

JM1FE173240100673

No build date, still saying July delivery.

my dealer called me Saturday with my VIN. I have not ever received a single e-mail from Mazda concerning my preorder. yet they have verified my e-mail address is in the system like 5 times already.

the dealer shows ETA: To Be Determined and rx8orders shows the same. hopefully we'll get some info soon concerning ETA.

 

Just order my RX 8 on 5-20-2003. Estimated /actual production date JUNE WK/1 (EST). Changed my color from red to silver hope I did the right thing. The silver looks real nice on the Pro 5 thay had in the show room. Got it loaded Dealer is giving me 25% off all accessories except the nav, Grand touring package. Also His MSRP $26,680.

 

How do you guys get to rx8orders I tried www.rx8orders.com but i didn't get anywhere Am I missing something!!!
My build day is today and I would like to check and see if they have my email or not

 

email rx8orders@mazdausa.com

 

There is no spoon... oops.. too much Matrix in the head..

there is no rx8orders.com site. . it's an email address everyone's talking about.. rx8order@mazdausa.com

 

got my vin today as well. scheduled build of... today (EST) Yay!

 

Their was a post a while back about an email from Mazda to dealers saying the emails for pre-orders would start in June. So we have a couple of more week before we find out what we already know.

I still don't have my VIN yet. My dealer checked this last Tuesday and still nothing for any of the cars on order. Maybe next week I will here something.
