Nice ! This car is great in every color.

Strakes, clear markers, front mud guards, quick work.

Did you order the clear markers from Japan ?

Pictures look good to me. Bought in Burlingame, who was your seller?

Rebecca Leung. She did a good job. No games, straight decent deal. I was actually surprised to see a lady as a car salesperson. Not very common I reckon.

Mike et al: thanks for the nice comments - just wait and see until my custom leather project is done and my Neo MP3 player and sub will be installed. Then I'll shoot some new pictures :)

Installing the strakes, clear corners and mud guards took about an hour only and was easy. Even for me :D

28100 incl. the appearance pkg, spoiler, rotary accents and destination charge. That's about $660 over invoice.
The deal was made back in early October - you can probably get a better price now I suppose.

I actually ordered my car at Putnam Mazda also, I got Mory he was a dick. He gave me bullshit dates that I would be recieving my car, and Al the manger was a dick also. I talked to Rebecca and wanted her as my seller but the management didnt really allow it. So after waiting four weeks, the car never showed and was just being built. I went to Val Strough Mazda the next day and bought a tit gray with app pkg and spoiler for $25,500 no bargaining or anything. Anyways, good to see more Tit gray rx-8's in sf, really hope to see you and bro voodoo around sometime, or on the road. Nice pics!

Yeah, Mory seems to be a pretty dumb character. I talked to him once as well, but he was sorta clueless and just not a person I'd want to deal with. Actually, in the beginning I was talking to a guy called Joe Lu or something like that, but after he was not giving me a call back twice although promised checking availability of the car I wanted, I got Rebecca on the phone. I continued with her because she seemed to be more motivated. Then, when I went to the dealership to finalize the deal with her, of course Joe greeted me with a wide smile and tried to tell me BS... blabla, how he was looking for the car and so on - I just walked by him :D

What, "management didn't allow" you to talk to the salesperson you want? That's strange.

Val Strough in Oakland, huh? Who did you talk to there? I was in contact with Simon, he was eager to sell a car to me and was very wiliing to give a good deal too.

yupp, I bought the car from simon, he was very easy to deal with. Didn't bargain at all, and I was lucky that the exact car I wanted was in the inventory. He gave me a pretty decent deal. What part of SF are you from??

The wait sucks - but once you get it, you'll love it! :D
Just be careful and guard it somehow so that it doesn't get stolen... :eek:
