In my mailbox yesterday. Still have not decided what to do....

 

Hey Ant,
Yes, I think the difficulty is with anyone who paid above MSRP. The $500 and Service is hard to pass up if you bought at or below MSRP. For many it's probably not worth the hassle to loss the use of the vehicle, in hopes a getting another 8 "down the road". Curious as to what the fine-print has to say about how long one must wait before they can turn around and buy the 8 again.

 

well here's what the buy back form is.. I hope it's not a violation to post this.. If it is, please tell me so I can delete it.

 

thx for posting that Nut.

And Brudahvoodoo. Aren't you suppose to be working? J/K

My whole floor is empty and I'm out of here too. Enjoy the 3 days off!

 

I got my letter today - already had one faxed to me. I found out if you call once they open up - you can usually get someone real quick.

 

Mine arrived today, too. I'm gonna sit on it for a month and see what develops. If I do return the car, it will be to get another one.

 

I came home tonight and the letter was in the box.

 

Got mine today (Fri.), in Santa Clara, CA. Wheeee...

I'm gonna take the $500 & service, and keep that sweet 8! :D

 

Letter arrived 8/29, San Diego, CA.
Arrived at dealer/purchased 8/12.

Unless something big develops, it's a keeper

 

Note the letter says they have to RECEIVE your response by 1 Oct. That doesn't mean we have till 1 Oct to reply, as has been commonly stated before. Plan ahead!

Oh, and got my letter today (8/29) in San Diego. Haven't decided what I'm going to do; waiting to see if the mileage is going to improve. I'm at 2300 miles now, and getting 17.5 mpg (up from low 15's earlier.)

 

I'm in cali and I recieved my letter today 8-29-03. I'm keeping it--not ever a question.

 

Got mine in Northern California and started my order for my new RX-8 on the same day.

I got my letter yesterday, 8-29. No question in my mind. It's a bonus on a car that I love.

 

got my letter in the mail like 10 min ago... gonna hold onto it for a little

 

Im really pissed. Im getting 10-12mpg and so i want to do the buyback but i'll get screwed over if i do. For one, there was a payoff of about $2,300 from my trade in, so i'll have that to deal with. Second, I got gap insurance which I'll still have to pay for, third, the interest i'll be stuck with.

 

1st time poster, short-time lurker here. I'm not to keen on all the finanials of the buy-back. I have negative equity from the leased Jeep Cherokee i traded in. If i take the buy back deal, what happens to that negative equity and my Jeep? Am i stuck making payments on the negative equity with no car to show for it?? Any help would be apreciated.

 

I got my official letter today. My salesperson even called me and said they would give a good deal on another RX8 if I buy from them.

I guess that means the saleperson gets to keep their original commission.

 

sure are.. i have the same problem.

 

My letter arrived on Friday, and my reply went out on Saturday. What I want to know is - who here HAS received their debit card? I hope the expiration is a long way off, as I just promised my wife I'd hold off until after the holidays before charging it out on car parts.

 

I bought mine around 8/1 from
Menlo Mazda. Not letter here.

Has anybody sold theirs back to Mazda?

How does it work? I paid MSRP. I traded
in paid off WRX.

If they still had my old car (wrx), do they give it back plus the money I paid? Or do they just pay $34k

ish?my sales contract

I would rather keep the car and have mazda fix it (more hp). I don't want free service. I want I what I paid for. (247 hp).

 

I would think so.. the buy backs shouldnt affect the dealers at all. It's MNAO that's buying them back, not the dealers. As far as the dealers are concerned, they've already gotten paid for the car and it's a done deal.. Maybe except for the fact that they will probably need to help process the buybacks for MNAO..

I for one would be sort of ashamed to return the car at dealership you bought it from and turn around and buy another one on the same lot. It's just me.. feels strange. But I'm sure the dealer wouldnt care, to them, it's another 8 sold. And this time, it CANT be returned OR maintained for free.... heheh

 

I finally got my letter today. The letter inside was dated 8/29.

 

Got my letter too today 09-02-2003!! Maryland

Keeping My TOY for Sure!! I like the Free Maint. and 500 bucks!! Oh Yeah...Zoooooom Zoooooom

 

Got my letter today, in IN.

I'm planning to keep it. I AM wondering, though, what happens if you don't take either of the offers... I suppose somebody would have to sue Mazda in a class-action kinda thing. Personally, I drove the car before I bought it, and I liked it then, and I've liked it more and more the longer I've had it (3 weeks). So, no chance I'm sending it back.

fwiw.

 

In Southern PA, received letter.
