Graduate Rebate??

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??

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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?

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!!!

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.
