So, here's the story on my new '6.
Back on Nov 15 I placed an order for a silver contrail Mazda6s with 5spd manual tranny, sport package, bose audio, moonroof, leather interrior, comfort package, and the side airbags. It is identical to a vehicle the dealership already had an invoice for, and receieved around Dec 20.
I called the dealership today and found something I hadn't appreciated until now. As I understand it, AAI has a production schedule that they're on, and are not building vehicles specifically for customers. This means that if you order a car that they're not building many of, you can wait a while before demand is met for that car. At this time Mazda has not built my car, and has no anticipated build date. This leaves me two months after ordering my car a bit frustrated. Speaking with the sales guy he said they would be willing to sell me the identical car to mine that they have on the lot at the agreed upon price (I'm buying on S-Plan so it wasn't a problem in the first place).
So, I'm left deciding whether to take them up on the offer and purchase the vehicle off the lot with 120 miles on it, or wait for my vehicle which may not show up for sometime to come. I'm leaning towards taking the vehicle off the lot despite not wanting to buy a vehicle that has been test driven. Though at the same time I'll put 120 miles on the car in two days of driving to work.
Anyway... It's been a frustrating day...
