Delivery status - PLEASE KEEP THIS THREAD CLEAN!
 

Guys (and Elara and Halley :)),
it is becoming impossible to track delivery info on our cars - info is getting posted in multiple threads. I'd like to try to get it more concentrated so we can all figure out what's going on.

IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR MAZDA EMAIL ABOUT FINAL DELIVERY OR IF YOU HAVE ACTUALLY TAKEN DELIVERY...

Please post your City and last 4 digits of VIN. Also, if you have the info available, post your build date and initial port of entry.


IF YOU ARE STILL WAITING...

Please DO NOT POST to this thread. Let's try to keep it clean, so we can review it more easily.

Thank you for your support.

Velocity Red touring pkg
vin: 1129
built: 5/23
only option cargo net
port: New Jersey
Email: no delivery email - yet.
Also arrived, I believe: 5935, GT w/ accents, also Vel Red, don't know build date, obviously also NJ port.
Correction: other red was not dropped at my dealer, only my RX8, a Miata and a 3rd car came off. That truck COULD be headed to Hagerstown MD - or north up 15 towards PA. don't know.
Mine was bottom, end - first off. other red was top, 2nd from back. Truck was covered sides and front. Took many pics.
Tech revved it to about 4K trying to back it up (Doug) then stalled it. Started right back up - guess he was unable to flood it. His words to the truck driver so I could hear "It's just another car".
I was at the end of a morning run before heading back to the gym and got to watch the driver drive it off the truck. Doug parked it back in right in front of the dealership.
Weirdest thing I noticed so far: wheel weights. One has 16 "5" weights, another 19, another 23, the left rear has none.

Mine delivered today
 

Delivery in Phoenix AZ on 7-18. Was at port since 6-17.

Dealer called 8:30 am that he got some non-pre-ordered, and mine should be there around noon. Dealer called around 1:30 PM that car was there. Got to dealer around 5 and was out by 7. Larry Miller Mazda was very good. They were pissed that Mazda did not send to Arizona earlier. The salesman had a tit grey on order and had not gotten his yet.

Most everything has been said, so I won't repeat. The engine compartment does get very hot. The hood support rod has a rubber sleve, use that or you will burn fingers.
