I called to get mine. Spoke with the manager, NOT my salesman.

I called on Friday to ask, and he started to say he'd call back, but I requested he email me the info instead. He said he'd email me either way (whether he had a VIN or not). I spent 2 days in PA, returned on Sunday evening, and no email from my dealer. I was disappointed. I called this morning and asked for the info again. He called me back in 3 minutes with the VIN and build date.

I have not received my "next" email from Mazda yet.

Therefore, we have to force the local dealer's service more efficiency. Also another concern, we are keeping push our dealer to offer more update imformation that mean we really want our 8 as soon as possible. so they know all of us must buy the 8, Is it possible they will rise the price ove the MSRP even they had promised us to offer the MSRP?

Finally have mine

Finally got mine today, along with copy of the invoice dated 5/20/03.
Vin is same as rest, chk digit 6, 01129.

ELX13 - what is yours?

Mine says "Northeast Region" , Somerset NJ - anyone know if that's the port where ours will be arriving?

It was printed 5/23. Reminds me, still haven't gotten my book - but it was forwarded by PO of my old address last Monday.
Sales mgr has it on her 'wish list' to arrive by 6/30.

I'd added you to my list from what you have at the registry since as of this point in time you have the lowest sequential number I've seen!

Well, I just emailed rx8orders to see what my status is and they tell me they can't find my name in the system. I don't understand this, because I've already gotten the first few emails (order submitted, factory received order, and the x2 thing) and I received the RX-8 book last week.

This whole pre-order setup seems to have some problems. I assume no one has gotten official emails about their cars being built or shipped, even though many have already posted that they have VINs, etc.

HAHAHAHAHAH You too eh! RX8orders told me the same #@$!ing boolshit too. I too have received the emails, even got a new one today (some crap about the Renesis being #1). Go figure

Well at least you got a book. I didn't. I would love to get that book as I had the RX-7 one and thought it was awesome. Oh wells.

Now let's all say my sig in unison..

THIS PRE-ORDER PROGRAM IS A JOKE.

Edited by RX-Nut.. he took out all the words starting with F.

the renesis engine is #1 email is not a pre-order email. it's like the x2 email, from a seperate email list compiled from people clicking the "keep me informed" button on the rx8website. wouldn't it be nice if the pre-order emails worked as well?

Does the dealer have your vin yet? If anything they should have it as soon as the car goes into production.

Well, my dealer doesnt even know where my car is at let alone having a VIN.. I asked them about three weeks ago whether or not if I could change to a GT from a T, but they couldnt tell me then and still cant.

At the moment, I'm flying blind into this pre-order. I thought I had the answers... MP5, I hope at least your dealer can help you more than mine is..

Don't know, last time I called he said it was scheduled for May build and should come in July. I think I'll pay them a visit sometime this week... you're with John Hine too, did you see if any of the cars had VINs when you were there?

That assumption is correct. No further official e-mails have been received through the pre-order system for well over a month. I suspect we should get the next one any day.

I (and many others) got their VIN# direct from their dealer, while others have received them through a request to RX-8orders.
