Hey guys,

Have any of you received a direct mail certificate from Mazda offering $1,000 cash to customer on the purchase of a new Mazda? The following is copied from Edmunds.com web site:

At least one Direct Mail Certificate is required for redemption per purchase/lease. At least one Direct Mail Certificate is required for redemption per purchase/lease. Incentives may vary; contact your local dealer for details

Opinions?

I called Mazda and asked them about that specific rebate, as I'm in the process of buying an RX8.

They said that it was a very small promotion that was sent to Ford owners, and was good on ford or mazda vehicles. They said that it was never intended to be a wide scale thing, and that they had notified edmunds.com to remove it from the website.

FWIW

I bought a ford in 1995. Show me the money.
