$12500 is a good deal for the config. you describe.   I paid $12K for LX, 5 Spd, with just added cassette deck (Nov 3rd week).

We were able to do even better than you did. Royal Mazda in SF advertised all of their P5s for $6750 in Sunday's paper. That included the college grad rebate, but it's been too long since graduation. My girlfriend picked up her loaded P5 tonight from Marina Mazda with them matching the discount of $6250 off MSRP, no trade-in. I still can't believe what a deal it was. I'm pretty sure they lost money on it. Even a salesman who bought his two months ago came over and lamented that he paid quite a bit more and it took him a lot more than 30 minutes to do it.   2003.5 Silver P5 Leather ABS and side air bag package Moonroof and 6 CD package roof rack
#188 of 265 price of protege lx by protege123 Dec 22, 2003 (8:33 pm)
Hi,   I've now got the price of a 03 lx down to $11,900. Is this a good deal? I was the one who posted an earlier message saying I had been offered $12,500...after waiting a few days, the dealer called back and reduced the price. The lx is an automatic has the abs/air bag and moonroof/6-cd package. Tax is $873 and doc fees are $160. They're also charging me something called govt. fees at $15. So the total out the door price is $12, 956. Should i go for it?   Thanks for any advice...appreciate your time.
#189 of 265 Yes by lawman1967 Dec 23, 2003 (6:05 am)
The ABS package is worth about $500 and the LX costs a $1000 premium over the DX, which makes me rather jealous as your are getting LX trim for only $200 more than I paid for DX trim.   Regardless of equipment, this is a terrific car and I'm sure you will enjoy it. For 12 grand, nothing else comes close.

At $12,500 it was a great price. At $11,900 I'll buy it if you do not. Do they have more? Invoice is about $16,600 and minus the $2500 rebate is still $14,100. Even with manufacturer to dealer cash that the price you were quoted is the lowest I've ever heard of. I called the dealer I worked with and they said that was an impossible price and money is being lost.

Dealer in atlanta area offered 12.2 for auto/casette/fog lights. Seems pretty fair, just not sure about protege yet.
#193 of 265 protege lx price by protege123 Dec 23, 2003 (11:53 am)
thanks for the advice...the $11,900 price doesn't include the $500 college rebate. do you know who qualifies for that? i graduated 7 years ago, but i'm taking 1 college class now. would that make me qualify? also, do i handle the grad rebate after i buy the protege? or should i get it now, assuming i qualify.   thanks for any help...i think i'm going to get the lx today...   protege123

#195 of 265 wow great deal! by gimmedog Dec 30, 2003 (1:17 am)
Got a loaded AT P5 today for $6000 under MSRP (incl grad rebate). Can't believe how much it was discounted. I had been looking at Totota Matrix, but for the price of a very austere matrix, I got a lot of perks: leather, ABS/side air bags, moonroof/6CD, cruise control, power doors/windows, etc. The main trade off for me was the cargo space--smaller than matrix and several (don't know how reliable) comments I've read that the P5 will depreciate quickly. If you want one, hurry--inventory is very low, and the mazda site's numbers are lagging behind actual sales.
