Cool Ordering in So Cal

[SIZE=3]New to the forum but been trolling for months. Placed a deposit and order with Browning Mazda in Cerritos, Silver/Black, Grand Touring,MT, NAV. You want to contact Bob Watts. He is the Fleet Manager and a real car guy. I gave him a deposit over a month ago when the other dealerships I contacted had no infor and would not even take a deposit. I also saw the 8 at the LA Auto show, but I thought the quality of the interior materials and layout were far superior to the 350Z. Just my $.02.

First post and he’s doing an ad for Browning Mazda, I wonder if this gets him MSRP?

No ad, just some info someone might find useful. Do what you want with it. I was guaranteed MSRP over a month ago when I first made my deposit.

Don’t take it too seriously; I just get a little suspicious when someone’s first post is recommending a product or service.

BTW Welcome to the Board!!!

Didn't want to post until I had something to contribute. Most dealerships I have come in contact with aren't very knowledgeable about their product. At least these guys seem to have a clue. Having said that, most of the people on this forum know more about the 8 than even this dealer.

Same here, some dealer don't even seem like they want to do business. Either that, or they don't have any allocation and were left out (bad for them:p). I phoned a couple dealers around my area, didn't seem many dealers participated on the pre-ordering plan.

Wassup, how much did you put down, and did the dealer at browning give you details on the options, or did you just get all the option??? i was thinking about visiting browning or heritage soon.

5150 is a code for "crazy", so his name is basically "crazy 8".

I gave him a check for $1,000.00, which he is holding until the vehicle arrives and the deal is completed. He just attached it to the order form. When I gave him my deposit, there were no details on options. On the 8th before they submitted my order Bob called me to verify options, color etc.
