as you all know our beloved currency has in the past 3 months or so, appreciated 15-20% against the yen. Has anyone tried to speak to their dealers about what this means in regards to pricing and possible resale/residual values?

I tried my dealer and got a 10 minute surmon about the uncertainties of world currency markets that I think can be summarised down to "bad luck for you... good luck for us".

Would be interested if anyone else has broached the subject with their dealer or Mazda directly?

Lock & Load

With the strenghtining of the aussie dollar against the japanese yen the dealers are already locked in on the 1st shipment of cars ordered ,however on say 2004 shipments assuming that our dollar is in the same favoureble position we should be able to get a better deal price wise or get accesories put in or greatly discounted .NEW car sales are slowing LEXUS is offering 3percent finance on some of their cars .PATIENCE may result in discounted dollars ,specially if the rx8 does not fire in the 1st 6 months.
