Smile Got my build date today

I went to pick up my brochure today, and my salesperson said she had my build date - 1st week of June. She also said deliverys are taking 12 weeks from the build date - so, that would be the last week of August, as predicted previously. The order reference number is 200306000768 - does anyone know what means? I'm guessing: 2003, June, and the 768 is probably the number of cars built in June.

Order Reference Number

The Ord Ref # has to do with the actual vehicle you will eventually get. On the inventory report I have, for some cars it is the VIN, the rest is a number similar to yours. Mine is 200304000544. It comprises the year, maybe a dealer code, and a sequential number of some sort. Mine was ordered Jan 9th, has an "Asgn Date" on the report of Jan 16. You may also get or see a Vehicle Request ID which is longer and starts with 2003. That seems to be an internal tracking number having to do with the year, month, maybe a dealer number - those on my report mostly begin with 20030151482000nn, except a few 20021151482000nn, so it appears to be the year and month of order then dealer code then a sequential (last 5 digits) number.
My dealer didn't have the VIN yet or brochures as of yesterday (May 15th).

I'm third allocation as well. Just confirmed today with a copy of the order list, a build date of first week in June. This timing is actually going to work out pretty well for me considering my birthday is September 13th and I was planning for August or very early September delivery. Will have it just in time!

:D :D :D

Theoretically it means begin of production. It'd be nice if some of us started getting the VIN email from Mazda so we really know!
