I had a few questions now that the 8's are arriving.

1. Is Mazda still going to let buyers "build" their 8's with their webpage? If so for how long?

2. If so, how long do you think it will take for build and shipping time? I assume it will not be as long as some people have waited now that the "system" is up and running.

3. How hard was it to negotiate the price on a car you have not received?

4. Anyone have a good Mazda dealer in the Phoenix area? I have delt with one on the east side before and was less than thrilled with the experience

Thanks for your time, I have high expectations of this car but neet to wait until winter/ early spring before I can buy.

I don't see why not. Since you have to finallize the order at the dealership whether or not you "buy" it online, i think they will just so people can tinker with it before walking into the dealer.


2. If so, how long do you think it will take for build and shipping time? I assume it will not be as long as some people have waited now that the "system" is up and running.


since the preorders took about ~60 days to build and ship over and also since any port problems will have been solved (hopefully), it should take alittle less time then before.


3. How hard was it to negotiate the price on a car you have not received?


You can't. Since some people are paying money on top of MSRP, the best you can hope for for the next few months will be MSRP.
