After waiting FOREVER, turns out my car was destroyed in the train derailment. All three of my dealers cars were destroyed. They said it will be at least 2 weeks before they get reallocated cars.
I put down a $500 deposit. If I can find another car up in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area, will I be able to get my deposit back? (I'm in Rochester)

Your deposit should be fully refundable. I have a deposit down for a car that I won't take delivery of. So I either have to get my deposit back or transfer it to someone else. It is due October if you are interested... It's green, black/chapparal interior, 6spd, GT, Nav, rear spoiler.

2 months? That doesn't sound right. I thought Mazda was taking care of the reallocation. 2 months would put them back in Japan on the assembly line, I'm pretty sure we'll be getting cars already on the way here. My dealer said a couple weeks. If it takes more than 3 I will be upset.
The good news is I found the same car on a lot in the Twin Cities, so my dealer agreed to take another $500 off of MSRP so that I would not change dealerships, so I'm now getting it for $1,000 under MSRP.
They're also giving me 3.5% financing which I think is pretty awesome.
Sometimes it pays to live in small midwestern towns where customer service still means something.

dunno why, he told me that it would probably be sooner, but it's better error on the side of caution

My original car was involved in the derailment - I went to St. Louis and walked into the dealership and they got me a car 3 days later.
