S-Plan
Hey VWJET,
Just Fyi, you will not be able to get S-Plan on the RX-8 til atleast January 2004. This info comes from a Q&A sheet that Mazda provided to the dealers back in January, when we made the original first pre-sold orders. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but....Looks like you will need to wait to get S-Plan or buck up and pay the piper to get it now.
My suggestion to you is to clear this up with your dealer if it is not already.
My RX-8 got its VIN# the other day as well. Mazda sent the dealers a letter on what to expect for time frame on RX-8's. Pre sold orders are to be in about Mid July and others to follow in late July early August.

Got my VIN today from the dealer --
JM1FE---------852
Dealer said delivery date still showed TBD but my vehicle has the lowest VIN in their system (I was the first pre-order in my city! 8:00 am on first day of pre-order sales)
Dealer also said that they have dealer "rotary" training scheduled for early June and a real production RX-8 is to arrive at the dealership for that training. He will call for me to drive it as soon as it arrives. He said the dealership gets one for training and demo purposes and is prohibited by Mazda from selling the demo until Oct. 31st.

Got my VIN # also. I still have a TBD ETA. But at least I have a VIN! Woohoo! The dealer is telling me June, but I'm thinking July will be more realistic. Plus, I have to be out of town for a week in the middle of June so I'm really hoping I'll be here when it comes in, or I'll have a fit. No way is my wife driving that bad boy home.
I'll get an insurance quote today.

Mine was from the dealer. He checked last Thurs. and it was not in system -- but it was there on Mon.
Dealer seems to be getting more on the ball with RX things. When I first pre-ordered he was clueless but helpful. Now he seems to be on top of things and getting excited about the RX. He wants the advertising to begin because he has first allocation units coming and only 3 pre-orders. Says nobody but the diehard rotary fans have any idea the car is coming out soon.

my dealer called me Saturday with my VIN. I have not ever received a single e-mail from Mazda concerning my preorder. yet they have verified my e-mail address is in the system like 5 times already.
the dealer shows ETA: To Be Determined and rx8orders shows the same. hopefully we'll get some info soon concerning ETA.

I still don't have my VIN yet. My dealer checked this last Tuesday and still nothing for any of the cars on order. Maybe next week I will here something.
