Damn you guys with VIN Numbers!! I went to my dealer to check on mine. No luck so far. I guess they are building the GT package first as an intelligent method of advertising the RX8. Unfortunately I ordered the lighter SP version. The anticipation is killing me.

That was my initial suspicion too, but my SP made the first boat. I have no idea how they're deciding what to build first.

FYI to those of you asking for VIN inquiries, this information is from Mazda but may not be up to date. For example, a vehicle listed as "Not Shipped" may actually be on the water right now and on the way to the port. Those VIN inquiries are primarily useful only when the vehicle is close to arriving at the port or is already there. The only way to find out for sure if your vehicle is on water is to talk to the dealer you're getting the car from, they're the only ones who can run inbound lists for their vehicles. The inbound lists will show whether a car is on water or not, along with an estimated dealership arrival date. I just wanted to clear that up before I got deluged with VIN inquiry requests, and before people got pissed off at their dealers who said their cars were on water when the inquiry says they haven't shipped.

All right, I'm going to start sounding like an *** for asking the same or similiar questions in multiple posts, but here it goes anyway. This new "on water" status for RX-8's or new boat, are they a part of the 2nd allotment? Any more details on this next boat?

Of the 13 new RX's that are showing ON WATER, the last Vin ends in 3313. Most are 1st allocation cars, a few 2nd allocation and one 3rd allocation. This one was for my wife and wasn't supposed to be built until July production. Looks like they are trying to build all presolds first if there is production capacity.

The Vin you posted is showing to be in transit with the same codes as my first group. However the Vin you listed is the Vin that Mazda sent everyone on the email. Are you sure thats your correct Vin?
Also, I can pull any of your Vins. I'm here late today and I can do 10 at a time. So when there is a group I'll run them and post the results.
Hope the Vin you gave me is yours, Shows it being a red/black touring pkg.

Hey, Mike.

I know you've told me it's on the way, but I'd like to see the report just out of curiosity. JM1FE173640101759.

Thanks!

Me again Gang
Ran the Vins posted so far and none were showing in transit yet in the veh warranty screen. However, none of the units in my inventory that just went to ON WATER status are showing in transit in that screen either. It should be updated tommorrow so I'll keep track of the #'s and run them tommorrow and see if there is any change. I think any Vin lower than 3313 will show on water when it is updated.
Keep you posted

Here are the other codes

30 - received @ Port
46 - wholesaled to dealer

I don't have anything sitting at port in cal or wash so I don't know if the RX8 will show 30 when the boat docks. The cars show 46 when they are released to the trucking and we start paying the floor plan expense. Mazda loves it when it goes to 46! The cars that i have that show 30 are in Dallas.

Keep you posted
