Question How old was your 8 when you got it?

For example...mine was produced in June of 2003. I picked it up in November. I'm curious to see if anybody had a car produced as close to their pick up date as possible.

Ok, so 2 months about average. Mine must of sat on the lot for a while. Either way it's been good to me. It had 11 miles when I picked it up.

p.s. Mine was not a pre-order.

Build date, the RX-8 birthday (now I try to celebrate this everyyear) - 30.9.03. Shipment date: 7.10.03 from Japan. Docked 25.10.03. Picked up: 31.10.03... oh man it only had 5 km on the odometer when I got it. NO ONE except pre-delivery guy (Chris) and the sale manager to drive from pre-delivery to sales port (which is 200m).

If you look at the sticker inside the driver's side door it tells you month and year of manufacture.

Mfd 10/3. Bought 11/29. We found ours in the back where they had just parked a new shipment. Plastic wraps still on the inside and bird (seagull?) crap on the outside. My wife rejected the "dirty green" color. After they washed it it passed aesthetics police inspection. There were 3 miles on the odometer when we found it, 18 miles (the additional all ours) when we bought it.
