Stopped in at a Mazda dealer on Thursday just to get the details on the
RX-8.  No one there wanted to even talk about the RX-8 or even knew much
about it.  The only thing they were told was that they were not supposed
to take any deposits on them.  I wonder if there is going to be some
sort of dealer boycott because Mazda won't let them jack up the price.

Mornin', David...

Must be an individual thing...at least one of the dealers here (we have two
more within about 15 miles of me) is taking deposits.  When I talked to the
sales manager. he showed me his list, and at that time (the day before the
price announcement!) he already had four people signed up...one for a
deposit of only $100!  Said the deposit was fully refundable, even if I
changed my mind after delivery.

I haven't been back since then...trying to figure out a way to see what the
colors look like before I order one, so I can't be sure that they haven't
changed their mind.

Wonder what Mazda thinks about what they are doing?

BTW...that dealer add-on didn't help them much in the past.  When the first
RX-7 came out, the dealers had tacked on about $2500 to the price. The first
thing that went during my negotiations was that add-on!

I'll stop in at Galpin Mazda. Galpin claims to be the largest Ford
dealer in the country.
