Re: Delivery Date - Put it Here !!
 

Ok, time for a sticky. Only until it wanders off into a Mazda slanging thread of course.

Re: Re: Delivery Date - Put it Here !!
 

Cynic.

ooooh. That hurts.

When have we ever wandered off ? Oh wait....

Still no delivery date letter from Mazda!!!!!

Only 5 days to go!;)

HAD A LETTER SAYING MY CAR COMING AROUNG NOVEMBER ISH.DAM ITS GONNA BE A LONG LONG WAIT

Whooooooooooooooooaaaaah , no need to shout!

We all had that letter, what were talking about is the next one, the one that promises to tell us which week we get the car in!

Got my delivery date letter today :( 21st January after they told me November grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
























j/k

There I was about to shoot of and check your EP number.

Shame on you Mr Digital for taking advantage of our delicate frame of mind re. delivery dates.:D

Just been to my dealer, he's going on the 27th Oct to pickup from Silverstone and my car should follow in a couple of week as I'm one of thier first orders. Also notice whilst waiting their number plate assignment sheet had the RX8 demonstrator on the list.

Also arranging a free/heavily discounted hire car to cover me from the 18th Oct.

It is fast approaching the end of September and still no sign of a delivery date (or letter).

MarkW, if you haven't done so, I will be emailing Deby Gutteridge for an update. Politeness wil run out according to the response.

Delivery date to dealer w/c 10th November

Delivery date to me w/c 17th November

Ed

Spoke to my dealer today:

They expect transporters to start arriving 28th October
They expect me to get my car 11th or 12th November .. reason being they have 15 cars to prep and it all depends on how many accesories they need to fit. Given the price of the accesories, I'm feeling pretty confident that there shouldn't be too much hold-up.

I recommend putting as much pressure on your dealer as you can to get your car out asap. In Aus. we got the dealers to start releasing them before the official launch date.

Hang in there guys.... not long now.

:( My dealer has back-tracked on my delivery date. They had told me cars would be arriving with them on 28th October and that I should expect mine on 11th/12th November.

Now I'm told: We can't tell you until next Wednesday when you will get your car, but we can tell you it's on a boat. Given that the ships take 31 days to get here, I could be waiting a long time.

Oh well, that'll teach me to believe everything I'm told.

Well, I just called my dealer, starting to realy hate them now.

Aparently 'the guy' that deals with the computer/orders thingey (why one, they neve heard of crosstraining?) is on holiday until next thursday.

Well if its true then for two weeks they know nothing about any customers car orders. Kinda poor.

But its 95% probably not true. I think it must be car salesman genetics or something - gives them insta-lie reflexes. A simple we dont know without the BS reply would have done.

Doesnt know when there getting the demo car, knows there picking it up from silverston, but not him (so I guess he could care less). tried to 'book' a test drive, sort of penciled in fir 3/11 afternoon - but even that was more effort for him than was worth it aparently. Didnt bother arguing or shouting , not yet anyhow. Almost let loose on how people have had two test drives already...

FSCK ridiculous customer service from both Mazda UK and the dealer. Any recomendations for a decent dealer in the NW heartily welcomed.

Oh, whilst I'm in rant mode - they tell us the car comes without a spare, then try sell us a damned spare! money grabbing bastige!

Just checked with my dealer.

They have only four cars on the system at the moment, including the demonstrator, none of which is mine.

Next update on the system will be monday night, so the earliest they will be able to tell me anything is Tuesday.

This is despite telling me last week that they would be able to tell me today.

B**$£"ds

Hi Rob,

If you received your letter this morning, it clearly states that all dealers will notify pre-order customers regarding delivery dates next week. If what your dealer tells you is true, I think you may have a case that is well worth arguing with Mazda UK/your dealer.

Bah, the letter says by friday next week (I think). The 'bloke' will be back on friday. very sfcking convinient.

Calm Down Guys!

You've been promised your cars in November, let's wait and see whether they arrive.

Cheers
Oilman:cool:

Rob I was told exactly the same thing.

Barry who runs the ordering system, is on holliday and won't be back till next week, no one else knows how to operate the office equipment so they can't check the ordering system till he gets back.

It was Paul I talked to on the phone.

Will call Richard now as he was off yeaterday, see if there is anyway of getting at order info, as I need vin number to register my private plate, which I'm picking up tonight.:D

Yep Richard has confirmed that Barry is the only one who car retrieve the order database info, so looks like we're stuffed, till Thursday.:(

Richard is allways very pleasant and as helpful as he can be but I find Paul can be a bit short sometimes (read all times), perhaps it's because I'm not one of his customers.

Richard has been selected along with Mike (service centre manager) to pick up the car from Silverstone, it could be any one of three days, 27th 28th 29th. Car will be in the showroom the day after, and probably available for test drives the day after that.

Hope that eases the frustration a bit.:)

Cheers.

I hear a lot of the Mazda dealers are off to some launch in Germany, which is why we won't hear until Wednesday at the earliest next week.

Spoke to my dealer this afternoon, and they can see my car on one system which shows up as just as November, but they are waiting for it to appear on another system/screen where they can see an actual date.

Im calling in next week to sort out my accessories and other stuff so hopefully I can find out more then.

Calm down! Calm down!

The cars will be here in November, - I know its close but no rocking of the boat is going to achieve anything. Let's just wait - I've been waiting over 12 months, its now 4 weeks off - so be patient.

The cars are appearing on the dealer systems. - Give it some time.

HERE HERE CRABACLE..................

BE PATIENT GUYS, YOU'LL GET YOUR CARS.

Cheers
Oilman

You won't see your car until late in November if my dealer is to be believed (or is indicative) as his earliest deliveries are Nov 16th plus prep time. Not 4 weeks away then (but getting closer I'll agree).

Now, if we did a poll to see who ACTUALLY BELIEVES their dealer info......

I'm just going with the flow...assuming November sometime....
That will do me.

Stu C

My dealer said that they are moving over to a new system called 'emotive'. They had been expecting this to happen on friday.

Guys

Dealer phoned me at 6:30 tonight. I have a date for the car!!

At long last and after 11 months, ups and downs, peaks and troughs etc, my car will be delivered and ready for collection on 11th November 2003.

Hope this is right but I must say, my dealer , Stafford Mazda have been 100% upfront with the information and generally been excellent.

All I need to do now is sell the MX-5 and I'll be away. Does any body want one!!

Phone your dealers they should have dates for your cars now as well!!

:D

Congratulations tinck. :)

Lets hope we all get dates very soon.

Hoorah
 

See - patience is a virtue.

The fllodgates open.

Good on Mazda

I too got a date from my dealer yesterday but I was a bit reticent about posting it as it seems awfully early.

The date I got given was.................. 29th October

But my dealer said I should really allow another 7 days on top of this as the distribution was being handled by a third party. Also as they are not picking up their demonstrator until the 27th / 28th.

This may be a false dawn but I certainly hope not.

I spent the majority of yesterday afternoon and evening in shock, because after 7 months of waiting the momentous day is finally in sight.

I urge everyone to call their dealers today, you never know he may have some fantastic news for you.

Chris

(need a smiley for can't remove the grin from my face)

I phoned my dealer this morning, and my car is showing on the computer as 'in transit' with an estimated delivery date of 16th November.

I popped into my dealership this morning on the way to work. My dealer kindly supplied me with the following infomation from their computer system:

My estimated delivery date: 16th November
Total number of cars allocated to the dealer with delivery dates: 8
Earliest delivery date: 9 Nov (car was ordered Jan 2003)

Hope this is useful.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I now have my VIN as well: JMZ5E???600??????

The only bumer about the delivery date is that I will be in India from the 6 to the 16 of November so I will have to wait a few more days (sob!)

Spoke to my Dealer this AM.

He has a VIN no. and a delivery date of 09/11/03.

He's not sure if this is the date to me or him.

He said that the cars are being offloaded in Rotterdam and then loaded onto ro-ro for the UK.

I'm setting my hopes on mid November.:D

Can't wait to be honest!

Cheers
Oilman

My dealer gave me 16/11/03 yesterday as the date to him (i.e. off of the transporter).

Just come off the phone from my dealer who says that the delivery dates we are getting (9 / 11 / 16th Nov) are when they arrive from Rotterdam (all Mazda PDI's are being carried out there before shipping.) That means we need to factor in the time for transport from UK port to the dealerships and then dealer PDI time. My dealer has 4 on his system already allocated so he has given me an expected handover date of 23rd November. I would not be surprised if these delivery dates you are all getting are the same and that you have to get the dealer to take the other time factors into account.

The other interesting thing that he told me is that the way they are given this information is simply a daily printout from Mazda and they dont have any way of interactively looking at the system for this information - good use of technology eh!?

Byrdd - he said they had one other 231ps Titanium with leather on the system which I assume is yours - looks like we'll be a rare site on the roads of South West Wales for a while!:D

Rob at Weigbridge hasnt got any info yet...
Looking at the info we have so far, I am not optimistic I will see the car in the first half of November.

God help Mazda if it slips into December.

Update from RX8 Line today 14th October at 1:26. Your dealer will be able to give you a definitive delivery date after the 17th when the details have been uploaded onto their systems.

When are the cars due into the country? "We don't have that information".

We'll see.

Ive been into my dealers today to sort out my registration and accessories etc, and they have given me a date that the car will be with them of 12-November.

Got my VIN No as well: JMZ5E173-600102516.

for me the dealership gets the car on the 16th November.

i will probably get it anytime thereafter

Delivery date for my car is 05/12/2003

OK - No delivery date for me yet :(

My dealer has "promised" to phone me as soon as they have a date ... spoke to them 3 times last week. I said "I'll stop hassling you as long as you phone me as soon as you know".

So here I am ... no phone call .... no date .....

Maybe I'm lucky, cos I can't be disappointed with them missing a date they haven't committed to :)

Dear Mr Owen

Thank you for your further e-mail regarding the delivery of your new Mazda RX-8. Our Marketing Director, Jeremy Thomson is currently abroad on business and therefore I am replying to you on his behalf.
The information on your vehicle is being loaded onto T W Whites vehicle system today and therefore they will now be receiving updated information on your vehicle as it progresses through the system. The initial information will show your vehicle being delivered in early December, however once the vehicle arrives in our European import centre in Rotterdam the delivery date will become more specific. We therefore still expect your vehicle to be with your dealer by the end of November.
We have entered vehicles onto our dealer’s vehicle systems in batches which are not necessarily related to delivery dates and therefore this is the reason that other Mazda RX-8 customers have had information on their vehicle.
I trust this information is of assistance to you.
Yours sincerely
Chris Twine
