We( my wife and I) just took delivery of our 2004 (built June 2004) RX8, AT, Titanium Grey from City Place Mazda in West Palm Beach, Florida. Obviously, the car is terrific. But what's even more more refreshing are the people at this dealership. Our sales rep John Petrulis worked with us every step of the way through the purchasing process, providing multiple RX8's to try (different options,etc.) as well as quickly locating our selected vehicle in the Mazda vehicle pool at the Port of Jacksonville . Our car arrived and was preped immediately. The service department is outstanding. We were introduced to the service manager and the head RX8 mechanic who is a diehard RX7 owner himself. As a former military fuel injection mechanic, I'd feel comfortable working there. Very professsional shop. I just thought I'd pass on this info should anyone be interested in locating a fine Mazda dealership in Palm Beach County Florida. www.cityplacemazda.com

Did you buy or lease?Any option packages?Did you get a deal close to invoice.It's good to hear some people have be having good experiences.I have yet to take the plunge but I may on monday or there abouts.I have worked out what I think is a nice deal on leasing a 04 6 speed base model in Nordic green.$309 a month for 24 months.$1200 due at signing.12K miles a year.Good luck with the car.Oh yeah did it need to be flashed?If so was it any problem getting them to doit.

 

There was no need to have the car flashed as it was just manufactured June 2004. All modifications are current. We purchased outright...no options/no packages...basic automatic vehicle. Reasons are many....didn't want the added expense and short tire life of 18" rims, simple 16" tires had a more comfortable ride, as did the cloth interior. Didn't want a sunroof, perhaps DSC would have been nice, but we don't plan to agressively drive the car. We were most concerned with great looks, quality product, rear seat head/leg room and the basic rotary engine. BTW...City Place Mazda provided an excellant price as well. Good luck with your decision.
