It was from following the instructions given in the link above (contact us, purchasing, rebates & incentives...)
 
Here's the reply I received today (so I guess I'll get it in a week or so):
 
"Thank you for your interest in the new 2009 Mazda6. This is a “private” offer, meaning you must receive the offer in the mail or via e-mail to take advantage of it. Mazda values each and every person who is interested in our products. This is a program for current and previous Mazda owners that may be ready to purchase based on information we have received from them. Customers that prior to September 2008 have indicated that they are interested in the 2009 Mazda6 or other Mazda products via our website. We’re sorry but only owners and non-owners who received the Mazda Private Launch Offer Direct Mail package are eligible. However, as a loyal Mazda owner, I would be happy to offer you a $500 Preferred Buyer’s Card good toward the purchase of a 2009 Mazda6. Please reply back to confirm so I may process your card today."
 
Edit: BTW, a phone call did absolutely nothing for me.

Thanks for the insight. I may just search out further (I did the 250 mile inventory check...no dice). Glad you're happy w/ your new car.

By calling Mazda Customer Service....I belive it is 1-800-222-5500...I hope my memory is correct, it is possible to get a $500 Card in the mail. Be very nice and be very appreciative of the job Mazda is now doing for their prospective customers. And tell them that because of the outstanding job Mazda is doing in building the highest quality vehicles on the market, best looking, zoom-zoom long lasting drivetrains, and etc., that you are definitely looking to purchase a Mazda product. In doing so, and being very polite, don't be surprised if you get a card in the mail! I did. It expired Dec. 31 of this year. Good luck! Don't forget that everyone who is going to buy a Mazda vehicle IS eligable for the S-Plan. Man, who can turn down such an outstanding deal on an outstanding product!?!

Thanks for the info! I sent an email to Mazda just as heybroder instructed on Monday. Nothing yet. Since I'm not a prior or current Mazda owner (yet!) I guess I'll just have to be happy with the S-Plan.
 
Thanks guys for the tips and advice!
 
I do have some more questions for everyone.
 
I've heard that in order for a dealership to move a car from one store to the other, or trade one between dealerships, the buyer is required to put down a deposit on the car. Everything I've ever read has told me to never put down a deposit on a car they don't actually have. So what is the right thing to do? How much would a reasonable deposit be? Has anyone using the S-Plan been asked to do this when they don't have the car you want on the lot? Thanks!

If it were me, I'd just go buy it from the dealer who has it (especially if you are s-plan), instead of letting someone who doesn't care about your car "break it in" for you by driving it to your dealer. Better yet, order exactly what you want from the dealer of your choice (if you can wait for it). I think that's what I am going to have to do.
 
BTW, I sent emails 2 days in a row, and my wife and I were Mazda owners in the past (MX-6 & RX-7), but not currently. They still offered to send the $500 card.
 
Good luck...

It takes anywhere between 4 and 6 weeks.
 
A fresh order takes 8-10 weeks from the time of allocation to dealer inventory.
 
What your dealer did you for was alter an incoming unit before it went into production. Once the vehicle has been produced, it's roughly 4-6 weeks.

Ask your local dealer to spec changew an incoming unit. If possible, you can get the car in 4-6 weeks. Maybe longer, depending upon where you live.

Thanks for the reply! There is a reason I'm trying to stick with one dealership, even though they don't actually have the car I want yet. They are offering a "Free Lifetime Powertrain Warranty" on any new Mazda purchased from them. Since I don't see anyone else offering it, I guess that means that it's limited to this dealership. I'm assuming that means if something covered by a "powertrain warranty" needs replacing once the factory warranty expires, only this dealership will honor the "lifetime" one, unlike Nissan who did offer a nationwide one in the spring.
 
So, is it worth it to go through this dealership just to get the free extra warranty? I do plan to keep the car for at least the 5 year/60,000 mile factory warranty timeframe, and possibly longer. There's a small, but real chance, that I might not live in this area when the factory one is up. Who knows? They don't actually have the car I want, but claim to have "located" it. The other 2 Mazda dealerships near me don't have the one I want, either. So, whoever I go with will have to bring it in from somewhere. I really don't think I can be patient enough to wait for one on order. I've been looking for a new car for a year. Now that I've found what I want, I want it now.
 
Any suggestions? Thanks!
