Custom ordering a Mazda (USA)

[djp1701]

There really isn't much they can do other than ask the dealers that have them to do a dealer trade, and that would be completely up to the discretion of the other dealers if they want to give up that inventory and go through the hassle of long distance logistics in this case. The only other two options are to do the factory order for you, which they should be offering, or in theory they could also ask their Mazda rep if there happens to be any unassigned port stock, but that is rare, especially when looking for something so specific. Worth the ask I suppose if they haven't yet.

Check...I will be heading over to the dealer in a couple of hours to discuss things further. They have given me a loaner while I await the new vehicle. I believe they did that in anticipation of the CT dealer sending the one they had, the fact that they did not was unexpected.

And I just realized that this was a CX-5 forum, not MX-5...sorry for posting in the wrong group.

No worries, it was an interesting discussion

I just heard back from the local dealer who has indicated that they can have one for me by mid-May.
