On Water
 

Good Morning Everyone

The next group of RX8's has left Japan in large numbers. Report now shows 13 more of my RX's in ON WATER status.

Whooopeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Thanks budaman for the very positive news.

Get ready fubar, 'cause I think you are going to have a bunch more requests to look up ;)

Damn you guys with VIN Numbers!! I went to my dealer to check on mine. No luck so far. I guess they are building the GT package first as an intelligent method of advertising the RX8. Unfortunately I ordered the lighter SP version. The anticipation is killing me.

FUBAR: Please work your magic one more time. JM1FE173740102192

[fingers crossed]


Thanx,

That was my initial suspicion too, but my SP made the first boat. I have no idea how they're deciding what to build first.

Puppy1;
I feel your pain!:(

Roachman, your car hasn't shipped yet either. Looks like a pretty sweet vehicle though, hopefully you'll have it before too long...

FYI to those of you asking for VIN inquiries, this information is from Mazda but may not be up to date. For example, a vehicle listed as "Not Shipped" may actually be on the water right now and on the way to the port. Those VIN inquiries are primarily useful only when the vehicle is close to arriving at the port or is already there. The only way to find out for sure if your vehicle is on water is to talk to the dealer you're getting the car from, they're the only ones who can run inbound lists for their vehicles. The inbound lists will show whether a car is on water or not, along with an estimated dealership arrival date. I just wanted to clear that up before I got deluged with VIN inquiry requests, and before people got pissed off at their dealers who said their cars were on water when the inquiry says they haven't shipped.

All right, I'm going to start sounding like an ass for asking the same or similiar questions in multiple posts, but here it goes anyway. This new "on water" status for RX-8's or new boat, are they a part of the 2nd allotment? Any more details on this next boat?

Of the 13 new RX's that are showing ON WATER, the last Vin ends in 3313. Most are 1st allocation cars, a few 2nd allocation and one 3rd allocation. This one was for my wife and wasn't supposed to be built until July production. Looks like they are trying to build all presolds first if there is production capacity.

budaman...please look my Vin....JM1FE173040100509...I have not been able to get any word from my dealer yet..Thanks

jcs
The Vin you posted is showing to be in transit with the same codes as my first group. However the Vin you listed is the Vin that Mazda sent everyone on the email. Are you sure thats your correct Vin?
Also, I can pull any of your Vins. I'm here late today and I can do 10 at a time. So when there is a group I'll run them and post the results.
Hope the Vin you gave me is yours, Shows it being a red/black touring pkg.

budaman

Could you please run mine as well? Many Thanx!

JM1FE173840102170

Please, please, please, please............ Fingers crossed......

Vin: JM1FE173940102064

Hey, Mike.

I know you've told me it's on the way, but I'd like to see the report just out of curiosity. JM1FE173640101759.

Thanks!

Please look this up as wel.....JM1FE173640101535

Thx!

So what statuses are there.. the only ones I've seen thus far are

10 New Vin
20 In Transit

Are there others?

JM1FE173940102520 - I'm curious to see what it says today.. if you please?

Me again Gang
Ran the Vins posted so far and none were showing in transit yet in the veh warranty screen. However, none of the units in my inventory that just went to ON WATER status are showing in transit in that screen either. It should be updated tommorrow so I'll keep track of the #'s and run them tommorrow and see if there is any change. I think any Vin lower than 3313 will show on water when it is updated.
Keep you posted

thanks in advance budaman.

JM1FE173540102787

Here are the other codes

30 - received @ Port
46 - wholesaled to dealer

I don't have anything sitting at port in cal or wash so I don't know if the RX8 will show 30 when the boat docks. The cars show 46 when they are released to the trucking and we start paying the floor plan expense. Mazda loves it when it goes to 46! The cars that i have that show 30 are in Dallas.

Keep you posted

JM1FE173740101317 this is the vin that says corrected (but the first email I got)
JM1FE173040100509
is the second and third email I got and the one I gave you, so I'm not sure which is right...
If you dont mind checking that one, maybe it is the correct one
thanks again

I just realized you said the my vin was a red car...it is supose to be a silver grand touring 6mt...hope it is right.

Budaman: I am a Dallas car that was a 20-in transit. Could you, would you mind running mine to see is I am now a "30" at port. Thanks

JM1FE173640101308

did everyone else read that? he has cars that show in port in dallas! or he said he has cars that are in port that are bound for dallas. Either way there are cars oficially "in port":D :D :D :D :cool: :cool: :cool:

Yes, but they're not RX-8's. Mike was talking about other cars in his inventory report. Sorry.

sure rain on my parade why don't you? you couldn't just leave me in my state of delirious bliss;) :p

Could be a delay, cause it shows red.

That would definitely be cool. Budaman, here's my VIN. If you don't think the registry will be updated until tomorrow, then could you run it for me at that time? I'm in the 2nd allocation, car was built June 4th, so I'll keep my fingers crossed:) .

the car was red to begain with and we sat at his computer and changed color and options,after he submited it it took about 5 minutes and updated his sytem to blue ,gt1,accent package.i guess will see what color it is when it gets here.if it is red that well be o.k. ill just make em throw in those other assy for free.

as of rite now.

I think this lookup is way behind.....I have some cars that are on the water in which i can see on my inventory printout and when i do a vin lookup is says its not shipped......I might just be blind and looking up the vins in the wrong spot....

Hey everyone!

I just checked to see if there had been any status change in reports, but alas, none.

I have 12 of your vins that I'll run in the morning to see if there is any change.

Keep you posted

Thanks Budaman.

How about a baker's dozen? Here's an East Coast VIN for your collection: JM1FE173240101130

Thanks, Budaman.

Good Morning All!

The following Vins are showing a 20 in transit code at present.
1130,1308,1317,2064,2170,2192,2520,2787 & 2975

These Vins are still showing a 10 code
1535,2626

This Vin is not showing built yet
5469

On my inventory report the units that were on the first boat are now showing @ Port. They are still showing a 20 in the warranty report.

Yes everyone, there are RX8's on US soil finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, it doesn't look like the second group of cars bound for the East Coast ports has left Japan yet.

Hope this helps, your dealer can get you more up to date info from his inventory report. I can't pull up other dealers reports.

Have a great morning!

budaman,

How about 3022?

Thanks,

Rocky

You just made my day!!! Thanx for everything!

See everybody, there area great people working at those Mazda dealerships after all!!!

Mine being the '2626' VIN. But if what you're saying is right, there still might be hope because mine is headed for the east coast. Is there any info on when the east coast boat will take off?

The 2 Vins that were showing a 10 status were both bound for Port Jersey. I can't get any info on Eastbound boats. Of the Vins that were a 20 status, 1 was bound for Port Jersey, 1 to Port Jacksonville and 1 to Port Honolulu. The Jersey & Jacksonville cars had very low Vins so they were probably on the first boats to the East Coast. Sorry I can't be of any more help to you East Coasters.

Thanks Budaman :)

I know I didn't make the first boat to Jacksonville but will be on the second. If you get a chance run JM1FE173340101850 to see if status has changed. Then we willl know if the East Coast ship has left Japan.
Thanks budaman

Its still showing a 10 status. The warranty screen that I can access Vins other than my own has not been updated yet. I'll run the East Coast Vins again tommorrow and see if anything changes. Its amazing in this day of computers that updates cannot be made instantly!

Despite being owned by Ford, Mazda appear to be doing their best to remain inscruitable. :)

Buda, please could you check out JM1FE173640102183.
It is 2nd allocation and was supposedly built 5/31.

Thanks

OK, here goes

As of this morning

30 status @ Port
1175 & 1308

20 status On Water
1317,2064,2170,2183,2192,2520,2787 & 2975

DM says he should get new shipping info this afternoon or tommorrow and he says he will try to get East Coast shipping info also.

Keep you posted
