#349 of 378 Trade In Time by bagheera Aug 01, 2002 (3:04 pm)
I can't believe it but our 3 year lease is almost up (well according to the dealer it is) so time to do research on the 2002 model. Have loved the 2000 MPV and it has served us well.   So reading all the reviews it seems like the 3.0 is the big improvement.   Any negatives noted so far out there?   And on the lease, how's Mazda w/r/t the odd dent and scratch? Any other experiences to relate?   Thanks

After gaining confidence from the other boards here, my wife & I brought home an LX with mats, roof rack and bumper plate for $19,500 plus ttl on July 30. Great dealer experience here in Dallas. I was leaning toward a slightly used Grand Caravan. Like its bigger size and better-looking proportions. But since she drives it the most I relented. Probably will order some mud flaps at mazdastuff.com. Drives nice and great visibility. Neat features like wheel-mounted volume control and retractable windows. Breakin her in.
#351 of 378 CT Dealer by rc168 Aug 02, 2002 (10:42 am)
I have been quite torn between MPV and Sienna for the last couple of months, but I am quite sure what I will get now--MPV seems to look better from whichever angel there is.   I would like to solicit information from fellow CT residents about their dealership experience. I am willing to go across the state (it is not that big anyway ) or even MA if I could get a good deal somewhere.   Appreciate it, have a good weekend.

I see you got the same deal on the exact same van as I, you were even in the same situation. I had a deal on a new similarly equipped Caravan for $20K, but the MPV's smaller size actually was a plus as I am not the primary driver either. Also had a great dealer experience. Plus the new 3.0 engine really made the difference for the MPV.

Tony March Mazda in Hartford is getting good press over on the other forum for 2000+ MPV's.
#354 of 378 My little mazda grew up by jeffcon Aug 08, 2002 (7:51 pm)
After owning a 323, and two 626's, I finally took the plunge this morning and got an MPV. We were out the door for just under 21K (including taxes [3%], tags and title), with a Silver MPV with Rear AC and 4-seasons. That was slightly under invoice before the 2K rebate. I'm glad my company got onboard with the S-plan; we used to be owned by GM and only got discounts on their cars, for what that is worth   I did find that dealers don't want to give the S-Plan price over the phone, however. I called several dealers with the same model, and finally went to the one which seemed to be the most informative over the phone (and gave me an estimate that was really close). When it came time for numbers, he just brought out the invoice and said the price is the S-plan price +TTT +$25 processing, and not once did he have to find his district regional sales manager who was going to give me the deal of a lifetime OOPS, that was a flashback to my first 626 experience.   But for only having the van for 8 hours, I think it is great. It drives wonderfully (maybe better than my 99 626) and the kids love to climb all over it and reconfigure the seats.   Now, my only question is, what is the next logical Mazda progression?

Congrats...as far as the next progression? Sorry my friend, you are at the pinnacle until the RX-8 arrives. Of course, your 626 might want to loose a 62 later this year.
#356 of 378 welcome jeffcon! by javadoc Aug 09, 2002 (7:46 am)
Welcome, glad you took the plunge! Yes, it'd be a tough call between the '6 and the RX-8.
#357 of 378 Progression by jeffcon Aug 10, 2002 (6:21 pm)
Thanks. I guess a convertible RX-8 sounds good, once I jettison a few kids first.
#358 of 378 New MPV by alexbeth Sep 22, 2002 (5:21 pm)
Just picked up our '02 Sage Green MPV on Saturday. I have the S-plan so the purchase was rather simple. Wife will be driving the van the majority of the time. I will have to drive "her" 1 year old Elantra. Told her I would drive it for 1 year at which time I will be in a new Tribute. Lot's of highway miles will be put on the MPV, considering the Bra (Front Mask) or Hood Deflector. Anyone add either of these items to their van? If so what would be better?
