Graduate Rebate??

TiRX8 · 07-25-2003, 06:22 PM

When I first ordered my car in March, my dealer filled out the invoice with all the info.... He also took off $600 as a graduation rebate. Today I found out that the RX-8 is not included in this program (from my dealer)!! However my dealer already signed the document in March. Isn't that legally binding?? Any feedback guys??

I don't know anything bout it, but this page might help!

Graduation rebate *does* apply on the RX-8, and don't let your dealer tell you otherwise.

I verified this three times over via Mazda USA... you can do it again if you like but I know I'm right because I got the rebate

Don't know if US experience relates to Canadian, but check this thread. If you have the same rebate contract we did, I think you're in good shape. I got the name of the manager who approved the deal and the finance rep who signed it; I dare them to wiggle out, esp if they want their perfect 10's on the customer satisfaction survey!

In canadian dollars. A measly $500 in US. But your web site says all cars; US site has a list which doesn't include the 8. Strange. Still, some of us down here have gotten the rebate.

Thanks for your help guys. I'm going to put up a fight today with my dealer!!

Yeah $750 cdn, if you go to "build your car" and build an RX-8 it takes off $750 for rebate. If they say it's a no go. I would contact mazda. I'd say that is false advertiseing and they would have to honor it!

pauleta · 07-26-2003, 08:15 PM

Why only $750, when mazda.ca (http://mazda.ca/english/157.htm) lists a 2004 Mazda 6 giving $800 and a 2003 Miata / MPV / B-Series 4x4 all giving $1000 rebate. I thought they based the rebate on the price of the car.

TiRX8 · 07-26-2003, 11:40 PM

They ended up giving to me w/o any fuss!! And now I'm a proud RX-8 owner! I've already put 115km on it and I'm about to go for another ride. I love it!!!!!!!:D :D

Hi, I check out the mazda site and I can't see how they came up with the $600 figure..

The cash award amounts are as follows:
2002 Model Year Vehicles -$750.00
2003 Model Year Protege / Protege5 - $600.00
2003 Model Year Tribute / B-Series 4x2 and 2004 Model Year Mazda6 - $800.00
2003 Model Year Miata / MPV / B-Series 4x4 - $1000.00

Did the dealership gave you the $600 off or Mazda Canada is giving you the $600 off??

ZzRicezZ · 07-28-2003, 01:31 PM

I called the number on their website and the rep there said RX-8 is not part of the program.. So i guess the dealership gave you the $600 off then

.. that good for you..

Yup you're right. When I put down my deposit in March, the website did not specify if a graduate rebate applied to the RX-8. So the dealer and I agreed to $600. Now Mazda Canada claims that there are no grad rebates on the RX-8. I guess I was lucky!

Wing · 07-28-2003, 01:57 PM

It CLEARLY states $750 rebate on Mazda's website!

Go to mazda maker, build the car and click on graduate rebate. If it is not available that's too bad for Mazda, as it is clearly available according to their website. My dealer said it's available to me as well, mazda can't really argue here, it is in black and white.

ZzRicezZ · 07-28-2003, 02:13 PM

dam ya i see it now.. I think on mazda website it must be a typo then??

there shouldn't be any 2002 models anymore?

Quick_lude · 07-28-2003, 02:35 PM

Jimmy! Exploring your options I see? Gonna pass on the G35 and get an 8?

ZzRicezZ · 07-28-2003, 02:45 PM

Hey Jarek,

Yup I think i have already made my choice

.. I saw the RX8 at the dealership the other day and already like it over the g35c.. Too bad I can't test drive both car at the moment..

Quick_lude · 07-28-2003, 03:15 PM

Cool.. hopefully next spring I'll be in one too..

Wing · 07-29-2003, 05:36 PM

Mazda, just took this off of their site!

Must have been a few complaints.

DAMN!

I'm going to get screwed left and right with this one, I was my damn graduate cash, I didn't get it on my current car I want it on my next one.

Plus I have X-plan at work. Hopefully come January they will allow these rebates, and I'll get a GT for the GS price!

One can dream right?

Isell8'stoyou · 07-30-2003, 07:58 AM

As of first thing this morning i have been told Grad Rebates will not be available for the RX-8. And for any one dreaming about purchasing them on the A plan or X plan keep dreaming this will never happen!!!

Wing · 07-30-2003, 08:05 AM

Do you actually sell 8's?

Any GS's available?

ZzRicezZ · 07-30-2003, 09:28 AM

What is A Plan and X Plan?

Isell8'stoyou · 08-01-2003, 01:21 PM

Hello Wing. Yes i do sell mazda rx-8's, as well as any other mazda products. When i did seaches for the GS model there are dealerships showing them in their inventory but when i call them they are telling me they are all spoken for. Where abouts are you from and if you would like to chat some more you can email me at scribner99ca@yahoo.com. Hope to hear from you soon and i can see what i can do to get you in to the car you would like.
