RX8 -- Putting an order together
I went to Mazda USA and built a sample of what I wanted.
I still have a couple of questions before I make the next move.
2004 RX-8 6 Speed Manual
Base MSRP: $27,200
With Options MSRP: $28,300*
Close Zip 78758
RX-8 6 Speed Manual
6-Spd Manual
250-hp 1.3L Rotary Engine
2-Rear Wheel Drive
SUNLIGHT SILVER M
BLACK (FABRIC) Cloth
SPORT PACKAGE M/T
What should I end up paying $28,300 or offering less before TTL?
What other charges will they add that are necessary?
Other than that I got a couple of things I want know:
1. If I have Stability Control, can I turn it off at will?
2. Can I refuse to have them put on a Front License Plate?
3. Should I start cold calling dealerships or do all of this on the web?
4. What time frame are we talking about if I ordered one today?
Thanks guys!
Troy

I see you're in Texas. You may want to try the place I'm buying at - World Car Mazda in San Antonio. Phone # is 210-735-6000. Ask for Danny Davila, and tell him Kevin told you he's a straight-up guy! Their policy is to never sell above MSRP. I wrote a check for $500 to reserve the order for me. They are just holding it, and if I change my mind when the car arrives I will get it back. This is a VERY customer-oriented dealership. In fact, they also provide a 10-year/100K mile limited powertrain warranty for free on every car they sell.
I hope this doesn't sound too much like a sales ad, it's just that this dealership was such a refreshing change from the first one I went to. Good luck with your search!

I live in fairfax Va, where your required to have a front license plate. If i asked the dealer to not put it on so I can install it later or something what would they reply? Would they just straight out tell me they can't because its against the law?

Most dealers will attach a front plate holder and insert a license plate-sized placard with the dealership name on it which of course can be removed at any time - beats the old decal on the trunk trick...

If the car does not have the front plate holder, just ask the dealer to give it to you and not to put it on. They will do what you ask. It's not like you are going to get pulled over and tell the cop the dealer didn't put it on for you. It's your responsibility to have the front plate.
I have now had cars for 3 years with no plate, only was pulled over once for it, and that was a rentacop shore cop. I wouldn't worry about it.
And if they do put it on, it takes about a minute or two to get it off!!:D
