LOL:D

You crook,,, I see what your thinking.. Maybe on ebay. But personnaly i wouldn't buy a book with the wrong facts in it
i.e. wrong HP

P/S although I would be curious in seing that book...but not desperate to pay MUCHO $$$$

 

I spoke to a Mazda Canada Customer Relations Manager and was basically told that we are never getting the BOOK and that in the next few weeks I'll receive a PEN and that the XBOX was out of the question. So you see, you go buy a Fraudulent Mazda Flagship of a vehicle worth $48,000 (taxes in) and you get nothing but a friggin PEN (most likely worth $.50 - $10 depending on what it is) and yet if I bought a $17000 dollar Mazda3 in December they get a Gift worth $300. POOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS


For instance when I bought my BMW 3-series, BMW gave me a Free Subscription to BMW Magazine (3 Years), I got a gift basket from the Dealership (worth over $200), free BMW hat and a keychain ($40).

Oh well what can you do. All I know is my next car is a BMW 545i, no more impulse buying for me.

I've been busy the last couple days so haven't had a chance to call them. I trie to go to the website to look up the number, but I haven't been able access it since yesterday.
Anybody want to post up the number for me?

Gaels: Well said, and very much what I was thinking. Hell, I'm not a greedy person or anything, but my Dealership as about 8 RX-8 hats, some mugs, umbrellas, kit bags and jackets in a display case at the dealership... they've only sold 4 (maybe 5) RX-8s... they've got more hats then they do cars... gimme a damn hat!
But, to come back to your original point... I love the car, but their customer relations is horrible. Overall my buying/ownership experience with Mazda has been very disapointing, and it's just the little things like this (making commitments - like the book, hell even the 247hp) that they consistently fail to meet. Then offering up a better deal a little down the road and essentially saying, "Sorry..we already got your money..."

I had told my dealership that once the new RX-7 is announced I'll put down a deposit and will be trading my 8, but with each little twist of the screw Mazda gives me (customer relations and/or service etc.) it drives me further from that.

*Edit: Wow.. where did all that come from? Huh... I've been working to hard lately.. I need to get some air.

 

Redshift,

Go take a nice long drive. It will calm you down. The weather is great today, and there isn't too much salt on the roads yet. I'm thinking a nice little 1.5 hour drive would be just the thing. And if you happened to stop by and pick up a fellow 8 owner who's car is stored for the winter....

 

Bwahaha... thanks for the tip Aaron. I do need a drive.. and the Integra just ain't cuttin it.
I DO still have the insurance on the RX.... hmmm...

BTW, the ASCC meeting dragged on forever last night.. you didn't miss too much other then the free go-karting...

 

So, if the book is cancelled I shouldn't bother giving my dealer the form for the book (someone posted a while back) when I pick up my car and xbox on Sat.? and should I expect a pen?

Maybe, I should try and convince them to throw in the Rx-8 hat I saw in they're display case?

 

I believe the book was only for the first deliveries ,buyers in july, august, to excuse themself for the damn delay we had ,


could be wrong..




Oh and by the way, the x-box is not Mazda Canada's decision it's the dealer's regional manager's decision. So i'm still waiting for his decision..

My sister got the mazda 3. Any good racing games out there?

 

No, the book was to be the same one that Mazda USA sent out to all their pre-order customers. In Canada, everyone who took delivery in 2003 was supposed to receive the book. Even then, it was delayed because there was some controversy over whether they should send it to anyone since they didn't have a French translation version of it. Some (very few) copies did get sent out to a few of those who took delivery in July. My stupid dealer never sent in the form, then when I called Mazda Canada at the end of August they played paperwork tag with the dealer, then when I called at the end of September they told me the book was delayed because of the re-rated hp, then later they told me they wouldn't be sending them at all , but would send a pen instead. 5 months after taking delivery, still nothing!

I'm not too annoyed about the book for myself, because I got one back in June from one of the US pre-order customers who received two. It is a great book though, definitely worth having, and if I didn't have one I'd certainly be trying to find one on e-bay.
