Took the plunge

[rinse]

Closed the deal at Avante Mazda today.

Mazda 3 GT Sedan w/ GFX, Carbon Grey Mica
Leather, MT, rear lip spoiler

One of the business managers(theBiz on this board) noticed that I posted on this board and actually mentioned to my sales guy (Noah) that I was coming in to buy a car from him, after seeing what I said on this board :D Had a good laugh as him, Noah, and the other manager Anthony were calling me rinse.

Anyways, had a great experience dealing with Avante; it was a pleasant process and I would recommend them to anyone.

Now all I gotta do is play the waiting game, going to have to count down the days till I get my 3!

So glad I found this message board, and looking forward to posting here more in the future.

(laugh).... well I\'m glad you just had a good and overall well experience... :D... congrats on the car!!!! now the important and big question... that everyone asks


How long do you hafta wait?!?!?!?!?!

[rinse]

Going to get a call from Anne-Marie within the next couple days and Ill have an idea then.

I know Anthony mentioned that they were getting in a carbon grey in about 2 weeks, and another one in 4 weeks.

Hopefully soon!

You can also plan and execute the purchasing of all the mods you are planning for the car (like me)! That way there\'s no need to wait for the parts to arrive - it can be like your car came with them all along!

I think I\'m going to go for the lighted door sills (blue, two tone), LED mirror caps, and possibly the exterior rear LED lights and silver front turn signals (do they burn out quickly like the brightwhite halogen bulbs for headlights that cost $20/$30?). I\'ve never really done any mods before and the door sills one sounds like it\'s going to be entertaining (for you guys, not for me!)

I\'ve been reading the threads on the rear LED lights and I\'m a bit confused - too many options. The one that\'s easy to understand is the one that costs $500 :sarc (ie - entire lamp) and that\'s a little too much but looks great! I also noticed the GB thread - what exactly are these? Do they look the same / similiar? And what\'s this about the brightness and install problems? Sorry, maybe this should be in another thread..

Just got a call today from Avante, my car is on train coming from Vancouver!

Got the Serial # for it, and it should be here in 2-3 weeks.

Now, its the waiting game.

[Optimzer]

wonder if it\'s on the same train as mine! hey...maybe we\'ll even see each other during pick up. hehe
