When I picked up my car a few days later, the white RX-8 had been moved outside, but in the process in moving it out, they scratched up the side of the car on the doorframe into the showroom. Let's just say the car jockeys at Bank St. can't drive - they damaged my car too, bringing it into the shop for an oil change. The best part was, they didn't tell they damaged it when I picked it it. I had to call them to ask how my car got damaged. At least they admitted it - apparently they had already done an estimate. It just would have been nice if they told me first.

Anyways, the moral of the story is - beware of Bank St. Mazda!! Based on my experience, I don't recommend them for either sales or service.
i saw that pinstripe one too!

the only part of it that i liked was the 'RX-8' portion of the sticker, but the pinstripe itself was *** :D

Almost there eh Frostee? I hope you get a good deal - if you want a fellow '8' owner to assist you in getting the same deal as me - just PM me.

- go at the end of the month!
- 5k off of MSRP IS possible on a full load '8'

How many white's are in Ottawa anyhow?! I thought there were only 3 or 4, but seems like more based on this post!

3 or 4 whites in ottawa? damn....
I hadn't seen a single white one on the road yet.

As far as bank st mazda goes. They also dinged up BOTH front rims on their green rx8 demo car. Obviously these guys don't know what they're doing.

the problem with bank street is that they dont care. they put out the numbers. they sell a lot of cars. plus, being part of the dalawri group, thye have a huge pot of cash to use. the more they sell, the happier the big boss is...

ive been told that you can get a damn good price from them, which wouldnt surprise me, but after that, they couldnt care less if you need work done, they already made a lot of money off ya...

Well, as I said - there are good deals to be had, really good deals and it sounds like Carling Mazda is having a '4 truckload sale' this weekend. Might be worth checking out.

Remember, $39k for the GT w/roof and NAV + all fee's and taxes, I can provide my paperwork to you if you want (if they won't match, then you're screwed anyhow)

Pretty exciting! Have a good week

Where there are a lotta asians there are more rice rockets- hence more RX-8's on the road, in general.
