Thanks for all the info, I am going to wait when I meet with her to see what they are going to fofer me.

I don't like any other car though. Would I be a dumbass to take another Rx8, (Stick this time and fully loaded )

The only other thing I would get is a 05 mustang...Nothing else even looks buyable to me.

 

Take the money!
You can always buy another 8 if you want, and probably cheaper.
I looked at the 05 Mustang but it didn't do anything for me. The 8 has a unique design that doesn't exist anywhere else. I'm thinking of buying a nice 1970 or so MG-B. It cost's less and I can fix anything that breaks. I have a 56 ****** wagon I restored to showroom condition. It has never had a recall or TSB.

 

Still waiting for her to call....So will see, I am sick of being patient.

 

Call Mazda Customer Service and raise sand!!! 1-800-222-5500

 

Well she called but I was in a meeting....Bad timing I guess she did leave a very nice message though. She said that Mazda is willing to either repurchase my vehicle or replace it. She did say it would be reaplced with an 05...If that is the case, I do not want an 05, I want an 06 being so close to the end of the ear maybe they will make some modifications to the 06...internally??

If I was willing to get another rx-8 she said she would encourage getting a manual, but didnt say why (We all know why though)

I left her a message hopefully she calls me back soon.

If you were in my shoes what would you do?

Money or Rx-8 with some good incentives?

 

I thought I hd the S-Plan when I bought my first Rx-8.


Thanks for the offer though :P

 

Take the money and run!
If you have trouble with the next 8, I doubt Mazda will give you another shot at the buyback plan. With all the problems they are having with these cars the trade in value is awful. The only way you could trade it in is with a Mazda dealer, and they don't need or want another 8 on their lot, .."that's for sure". Maybe, in the future things will work out. But with all the unsolved issues with the car I wouldn't chance it. The first thing that goes wrong,... and it will, you'll wonder why you put yourself in this position again.

 

I know,

I finally got to talk to her, If i take the money I will have to pay for any scratches, dents, anything wrong with the car on the exterior. I also have to pay a 1500 fee because of some car usuage...she's like "Its the law"

I am going to probably end up taking another Rx-8, fully loaded and this time a manual. I weighed my options and this is the best for me.

So now I faxed her my loan information so she can come up with figures and stuff about how much I am going to get back from this and...I call her to let her know they are sending it...and she has a new voicemail saying she will be back on the 15th of Aug...SHE WENT ON VACATION!!!!

 

I don't think you said but, would you have to pay any extra money to move up to a fully loaded manual?

 

Well my bank does not do what is called a "Subsitution of Collateral" which means basically I think adding on a loan if its more. I would have to pay the difference up front.

Since a manual is less money to buy It will work out in my favor, I also think I should be compensated for all the time without my car.

Also they are not buying back anything I put on my car, the strakes, clearcorners, front accent, rear fog light, seat covers ...nothing. So I am removing everything I can when my car gets back to MY dealership (They sent it to another dealer ship when they thought they were going to put another engine in it)

I found this out today: They are chargin my $90 to take the stock tires of my DPK motegis rims. I cant do it myself because since they already bought it back I really dont own in anymore, so I can't take it off the property.

Mazda will hear about this Monday morning. This is purebullshit

Take my car away, Ruin my Summer...and charge me for it?

 

When Mazda bought mine back they wanted to know if I added anything and what it cost. I assumed they asked so thet could reimburse me fot it. Technically, hey haven't bought it back until they have paid you or replaced the car! If they don't have the title, they don't own it. I also negoiated the mileage charge from $1,400 to $700 due to my time spent. They didn't really put up a fight, she also tried telling me it was the law but I challeneged her on it and we split it in 1/2.
Your grief continues like mine did every time I had to deal with the daily issues. That's why i took the money, I couldn't stand the thought of explaining one more problem to the service dept. as i had been fot the 6 months i owned it.

 

She is currently looking for a new car for me.

I want a fully loaded red rx-8 with the red and black leather and nav

She can't seem to find one, I guess nav's are hard to find?

Anyways...Will see how long this takes.

 

im going thru the same **** right now... im getting $5200 in a settlement but my f**king lemonlaw layer is tryin to take %70 of that.... ooo hell na! now we are sueing her!

 

Haha, I hear you thats just wrong.

Bean, Did they ask you for receipts for your extras on your car?

I charged everythign on my visa and I already called to have them mail all my statements from last year just incase she asks.

 

I didn't have any accessories, it was fully loaded when i bought it.
AgainI say,..."Take The Money", it's the only way to rid yourself of the headaches.

 

Hey my dad has a *****'s! Sweet.

Ohh and also take the money don't let them try and talk you into getting another one of there New(fixer upper's) RX-8's.

 

Well, I just got off the phone with my Mazda rep

She found me a car in Wisconsion, Fully loaded, Nav, Velocity red red/black leather etc etc (Which is what I wanted)

After I heisitated to agree, she knocked off an additional 1500 Dollars to compensate me for the 2 months I didnt have my car. Also they are paying me for my strakes/exhaust finshers/gas cap/clear corners and seat covers.

They are going to pay for the taxes,transfer fees to get it here and all that other hoo hah. I am hoping to have a lot more luck with this car. So will see.

After I did the math I am getting a very decent deal for a fully loaded Rx-8.

I still havent agreed I told her I would think about it and get back to her tomorrow morning.

I'll let you all know when I actually get this car if I decide to get it.

 

Sounds like a good deal. Most important of all is you get shed of the lemon you currently own. The upgrade and other concessions really do make it a decent exchange.

So you need to ask yourself ..... "Do I still want to drive and RX-8 after all this?" If you do, then go for it.

 

I'm in love with the car.

Otherwise, I'd leave her.

 

I got a call from my rep again today, asking me if I made a decesion.

SHe said ok I'll call to get it....................

5 min later, She calls back - Oh, Sorry they just sold the car!

Kick a guy while he down shesh...

Hope she can find me another one...

 

Got another update, My car is shecduled to be delivered to my dealership on the 29th of this month. I am so excited!

I got a Red Grand touring package with the appearance package and rotary accent package for 3350 more than the base price of a manual Rx-8.

Ther are also buying muy strakes and exhaust finshers from me, because I am pretty sure there going to be a pain to get off if I even tried.

I am taking my chrome gas cap and my clear corners off and putting the stock parts back on the car to transfer them on my new car.

I'll let you all know when I get it, Then I'll be crusing Michigan once again happy.
