Ordered mine from Bob Watts at Browing Mazda in Cerritos.
Mine is in first allocation and he said he had only one more slot available. Should be June delivery and getting order number next week. Pricing @ M.S.R.P. with $1,000 deposit. Dealer called back
1/22 and said that car would be in second group for July

I went to John Hine in San Diego today and was about to put a deposit but the head guy didn't want to tell me the details... I knew more than him. He just said put your money in ASAP (meaning give me your money so I can make the sale). I didn't get great service from them :mad: . I guess I'll have to check out another dealer.

I was talking to someone at Browning Mazda. I'm still on the fence about preordering. I wasn't planning on doing this until the fall...but then will that be when that third allocation tier be? Maybe I should just preorder....

Talk to Bob Watts at Browning. You can preorder and cancel
at anytime if things dont work out. At least you will be in line
for delivery and not have to pay a premium over M.S.R.P.
when RX-8 are hard to get.

Good point...I can always cancel, they told me that too.

Maybe I'll go back over there this week.

Decisions, decisions!!!!
