just my luck.....
 

As i sit back and wait for my rx8 to be built i started to look around for other dealerships i can deal with to get my car quicker..well i found one that was willing to deal with me on the package i wanted in NJ and he had it waiting in the lot.1 day to late i guess..i got there and 2 minutes before we were to start the proccess, the car is SOLD to someone else by some other salesman, i was a few minutes to late..to add insult to injury the dealer was willing to go lower then MSRP closer to invoice.now im left wondering how much longer i have to wait for my day to come.yes im getting a automatic which makes it harder to find..:(

My dealer, WHite Plains Mazda has several in stock (I saw an auto trans there). They are definitely dealing- call Peter, and tell him Richard (who bought an rx8 from them) sent you.

Also- I was planning on getting an auto, since I live and drive mostly in Manhattan (at night and weekends). I test drove both, and fell in love with the stick. Try it- you may like it.

I called them and they only had 1 AT and it wasnt the color i wanted.i think ill just wait it out.

estimated production date: sep wk/1

means i should have it sometime early/mid november?

i dont think it would be a good idea to go for a MT living in NYC....
