I was dumbstuck as well. From my cars positon and from where he was standing, the Mazda logo (in front) was in plain view. After I told him it was an "RX-8", he nodded -knowingly (as if he knew what an RX-8 was - lol)

I went to Faulkner after a bad experience with my first choice, Sussman - I will NEVER go there or recommend taht place to anyone. Faulkner treated me right and was straight up with me from the get go. When the red 8 came in, my sales rep called me and let me know to come up anytime to drive them. When I foudn the time, he let me go out alone (well, not alone, my 16 year old cousin was with me) for the test drive. Also, they hooked me up with free passes to the Rev-It-Up. A great car buying experience!

Pacifico was going to be my next choice....

EDIT: I'll be sure to check out your site and yes, I did get the $500 deal. :D

I bought my last car from Sussman, they are a bunch of crooks if you ask me. Either they are very stupid or just pretending to be - "to make a deal" I checked out a black 8 there, and after 35 mins of waiting, left.

Pacifico were cool - I called these guys up and they had the car I wanted. They put it in storage over night and purchased it next day. Great folks.

Goodluck with the car!

I parked beside a viper the other day, doesn't look anything like one really. Viper has HUGE hood, smaller lights and shorter cabin area... it's also a hatch.

You'll be people asking all the time, just yesterday I got out of my car and a guy came up and said, "gotta minute"? I was truely in a hurry and had to say no sorry, but he kept man I have an RX7 it's awesome I like the 8. I felt bad, but I was in a hurry.

I would have loved to get black... except that I had a black car before and it was a b*tch to keep clean. Black is sweet!!!!! (my second choice btw)

In the end, it doesn't matter which color you get -the 8 looks good in ALL of them!

Hey Bob -

It's BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!!!

Great choice getting the 18 inch wheels, and I love the colour. Now that I know what you look like, if I see you around town, I'll stop ya' and say hi.

I'm chompin' at the bit to get mine. As you were, I am now "over due" of the ETA delivery date, and it is really getting to me. Every time my office phone rings, I think that it will be the salesman telling me that the car is here, but it never is. Just clients calling to bug me.

Again, I'm really happy for you, and thanks for posting the pics. The car looks great.

All the best -

Haze

Haze, what dealer are you buying from? Faulkner and Pacifico had quite a few RX8's on their lot when I stoped by last.....nice to see some Philladelphians on the board :-)

Yeah, it is nice to see alot Philadelphians on the board! I'm actually getting mine out in West Chester. I live in Center city, and technically Kennedy is my closest dealer then West Chester is second according to he web-site. My parents also live out that way so I have an inclication to go there, and I did. They're a small and a little sleepy dealer, but they've been pretty nice to me, and the car has tracked along at a pretty good pace. I just want to get it!!!!!! know what I mean ? The West Chester dealer has had a few cars on the lot too . . . just not mine. I feel a little like Lady MacBeth "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow moves in at its petty pace." Bleh. Should be here soon though. Right? Oh well, have a good one -

What kind of RX8 did you order? I am sure it will be here soon enough! I am also sure it will be very exciting...you'll have to post pics when it arrives!

All the best haze :-)

Yellow, Man. Trans., no options. A couple of accessories. It's a very bare bones car, and I'm really looking forward to getting it. I will try to post pics, but I am not a computer guy so I may not be able to figure out how to do it. I'll try though.

Thanks - H
