Going in to dealer to sign off on RX8 tomorrow. I need your final approval.

I went with my mom yesterday when she took her 2000 MPV in for its 60,000 mile servicing and an oil change. I asked the sales manager if he had an update on when my car would arrive and he said he wouldn't know anything until Mazda notifies him of a shipping date and then it would be easier to determine. He just knows the order was submitted to them and put into build order (I believe it was #23 in the build order for 2006). After that they, themselves, can't track where it's at until they get notified of a VIN number along with a shipping date. They build it in Japan, ship it to San Diego, put in the electronic components, and then they get sent out to wherever they are going.

So, the real numbers are:
Down payment: $1600
24mo @ $335.24/mo= $8045.76
buyout= $18285
tax= $1508
total buyout price= $19793
Finance $19793 @ 9% for 60mo.
Payment= $410.87 * 60mo. = $24652.20
So... Take the original down payment+ lease payments+ loan payments and you get:
$1600+ $8045.76+ $24652.20= $34297.96
Down payment: $1600
24mo @ $335.24/mo= $8045.76
buyout= $18285
tax= $1508
total buyout price= $19793
Finance $19793 @ 9% for 60mo.
Payment= $410.87 * 60mo. = $24652.20
So... Take the original down payment+ lease payments+ loan payments and you get:
$1600+ $8045.76+ $24652.20= $34297.96

Aye, I've been driving it for 3 weeks now. There's been some complication though....
Transmission problem here;

Gas Consumption here ;

and of course, in few weeks I've managed to scrape 2 wheels and about 4 stone chips. When the weather gets better, I might just consider doing the DIY to repair the wheel and buy clear bra to protect the hood..

Ah, so I see. Sorry to hear of your troubles. I suffered a rocky start too - failed cat in my 4th week of ownership, then pasted a deer at 55mph in my 5th week. Now I am at driving-break-even (12th week of ownership - 6 weeks driving RX-8, 6 weeks driving rental cars). Hopefully our bad-luck and issues were all front-loaded and once fixed we'll simply live happily ever after with our `8s.

Thanks herman. It certainly wasn't what I expected out of my new ownership experience, but the rentals are behind me now and I've had two really great weeks of driving and enjoying the `8 through the holidays.
Nedor, did you get your car back yet? Did you get snow wheels on it? (we had rain change to snow Monday night - good morning 4 inches of fresh snow!)
