When did you get yours...?
Ordered Dec 13th and I'm still waiting. Due this weekend apparently, but I won't hold my breath. Seems from reading this site that most people got theirs significantly quicker - must admit I didn't shop around dealers for better delivery times, but wish I had now. Anyway, just wondering how quickly everyone got theirs so I can see whether I have a valid case to moan at my dealer about?!

Went to the dealers Easter weekend, picked her up last week
Could've got her a week earlier but needed my MINI for a sponsored run.
At the time I ordered the dealer had a choice of four unsold cars for May delivery.
All have gone now though....

As a Pre-order, although I didn't wait as long as some.
I ordered on the 6th March 2003 and picked it up on the 10th November 2003. So 8 months and 4 days.

I think that the number of pre-order customers on this site will mean that 6 moths + will be popular. It's scary to think that it was more than a year ago that we paid our deposits!
Many pre-orderers will have just gone past the 6 months ownership mark!

well at least it seems i'm not alone in the 3-6 month wait bracket, and i guess those getting it sooner than that mainly benefitted from cancelled orders. 6 month+ waits were the pre-order guys presumably. Still, car arrived at dealers on Wednesday - they wanted a week for the PDI etc originally, but after sounding suitably upset at that idea its now going to be ready this afternoon - can't wait!

First met the RX8 at the motor show 2002 - it looked great.
Did not pre-order - wanted to drive it first.
Was due to be released in July - release date delayed.
Went for a test drive on 4th November 2003 - Ordered it there & then.
Delivered 23rd December - just in time for Christmas.
WoW!!!!

Waiting patiently...
Test drive was on 21st Feb. Placed order same day and was told 4 months "but more likely to be 5".
The dealer also told me that Mazda only accept orders once a month and as the February orders had been placed on 20th it would be another month before Mazda received the order for my car!!! Anyone else heard of this?
Not heard anything since so am expecting a long wait.

I think the anticipation kinda adds something to it though dont ya think? It stinks but you know how when you read a really good book and have to wait for the movie to come out. (That's what i tell myself anyway!)
Anywhoo....gives us a chance to put away a little bit more money.
