where are you finding NEW 07s?

i've called a bunch of local dealers and they don't have any 07s left.

one dealer had an 07 sport auto..or some garbage like that.

Thats not bad

those set of plugs *suppose* to be install before they give you the car. but obviously another *failed to do final inspection* dealership.

Reason is that they ship all our cars by boat, and who knows what happened during the shipment. I mean of course nothing bad but, and after a long boat travel and sitting on the lot for god knows how long. Mazda prepared a set of *new plugs* so your car will *feel new*.

if I have this set of plugs I will keep them for now, and replace them later when its due (around 20K miles is the best)

Congrat on ur new car !

They start the car to move them around and the plugs get fouled pretty quick.

Get them to install the new plugs and dont pay a single penny for them to do it!

I was only looking at 07 GT Manuals. The ones at John Hine are both Grey with black interior. No accessories, but one caveat. One has 22 miles and the other "test drive mule" had 98 miles. As of Mmonday they still had both. Talk to Lee Dishon. He was going to work something out for me, but this deal came along. Tell him that Browning is offering $7K off MSRP stickered on the windshield. He should be able to do better, but not sure how much better.

I think the consensus is that the dealer was supposed to install prior to customer hand off. Mine seems to be running ok ...

Go back and have them install the plugs, ask for the old ones back.

Welcome to the club!
