Has anyone got a delivery date, test drive yet? Miles on new car? Dealer games . . .
I got the spiffy, 'we have your order e-mail.' Does anyone have additional info?
My local sales contact has ignored my e-mails on additional delivery info and on how many miles I can expect on "my" new RX-8, break-in concerns etc.
While I LOVE their vehicles, Mazda dealers sure are NOT building my excitement about the car--which makes it a bit harder to write them a check when I've got two good, though less hip, paid off cars.
I don't expect 'em to kiss my booty, but a sales follow-up's no skin off their back for a cool 31,000.
Of course, this is the SAME dealer who tried to rip me off after making a solid deal on our Miata by changing the numbers at the moment of sign-off on our paperwork at the final minutes of the purchase--TWICE.
It'll be easy for everyone in LOVE with the new RX to get taken. Watch your back and bring your calculator.

In-person vs. e-mail
I don't disagree that visting in-person will pin 'em down. But, as a paying customer, with the $500 order and likely 30,500 coming later, I shouldn't have to pin 'em down.
They'll be making serveral thousand on the deal.
I work for a company that's big into customer service and responsiveness. It's buggy that they can't life a finger to reply.
I suppose the car-biz is ALWAYS still the car-biz.

They're local and the only dealer offering MSRP no markup
They're local and were the only dealer I found in the L.A. area offering MSRP no markup. I'd love to know if there are others, though wouldn't I lose my pre-order status?
Or, could it simple be assigned another dealership?
