#26 of 265 by p5heaven Apr 14, 2003 (12:56 pm)
Hello arb 16   I live in Portland Oregon and a dealership near me in Hillsboro (Royal Moore Mazda) had the special. I checked the car ads yesterday and noticed they are still running the same promotion but now it's only on four 2003 P5's.   I see you live in California you may want to check it out depending where you live.   Hope this helps.
#27 of 265 To Bliss 182...about the DX by silverpro Apr 19, 2003 (9:43 am)
Hey Bliss, I hope you didn't yet pick up your DX. Because for the same exact price, 12,5., I got the LX.   It's an automatic. Power of course, but no AB. It did come with wheel locks. I didn't get the fog lights but I know they would have thrown that in.   It's a beautiful car, beautiful lines and interior.

Yeah..we did pick up our dx's. Where are you located? I'm from Buffalo and there are only 2 mazda dealers here and they were both giving me the same price. I even contacted dealers in Rochester.   I suspected we weren't getting a good deal on our end, given the $2000 rebate they were offering...and the fact that they were willing to give me $600 for my p.o.s trade. And I made them give us floor mats for both our cars. That's no consolation though.   ::sigh::
#30 of 265 Slick new P5... by tallstetson May 05, 2003 (7:23 am)
on 4/25 took delivery of a vivid yellow P5 with Moonroof/CD, ABS/Side Air Bags, Roof Rack, Rear Bumper Guard, Moonroof Deflector, and Wheel Locks for $16,500 (car price only...with everything else the total came to $17,610) from Balise Mazda in W. Springfield, MA. Got financing from Peoplefirst.com (excellent service so far), no trade (giving my '97 Escort to my son). Folks at Balise were EXCELLENT.   AND I LOVE IT...there's a photo in the gallery.
#31 of 265 I think I got a fair price... by zebrahead May 11, 2003 (8:15 pm)
I paid 16,700 after 1500 rebate but before taxes, dealer fee, etc for a red PR5 with AT, 6 disc changer, moonroof, leather, roof rack, wheel locks, and polished rims. No trade in and financed through my credit union (2.4 % for 60 mths). I called about 10 different dealers that had the car according to mazdas web site and told them who ever gave me the best price would get my business. I played the top 3 dealers against each other, the cheapest beat the #2 dealer by $200 but was about 2 hours away. I went with the #2 dealer who was only 45 mins away. The best part was I walked in and signed the papers, about 30 mins and I was out the door.
#32 of 265 That's great! by boggse May 12, 2003 (5:20 am)
I've never been in and out in 30 minutes. When I purchased my Miata, it took 3 hours! You probably saved yourself a lot of time by setting up the financing yourself. Nice Car!
#33 of 265 My first new car cost me . ... by protojason May 26, 2003 (11:10 pm)
$13,708.23 + ttl   For that sum I drove away with a new 2003 Pro-5. Considered the Matrix of course, but I couldnt pass up the deal. (seemed like one to me anyhow!)   No leather interior, but did get the in dash 6disc cd and a sunroof. Doesnt seem overly noisy as per the reviews either...course I've been accustomed to an F-150.   Seems like I got more than most civic owners would at that price level. I'm pleased. Now to learn the proper way to "break 'er in".   PS. this is my first post, please forgive the lack of lingo etc etc other errors.    --J

Congrats on your purchase. Looks like you got an excellent price.   I agree with your assessment of the noise levels in the P5. It is not like we are driving Lexuses, so I am not sure why people expect that level of quiet. Personally, I like to hear the noises my cars make.   Not much involved with breaking in a P5. The owners manual mentions some precautions for the first 600 miles or so. If you want to be really anal, you can follow this guide to breaking in Miatas, but I really doubt it will make any difference:   http://www.miata.net/faq/faq3.html#A
#35 of 265 Jason ... congrats! by mdaffron May 28, 2003 (8:29 am)
Too bad we live so far away from each other ... my wife drives a white 2002 Protege5.   (My car's an Emerald Mica 2000 Protege ES.)   Meade in Virginia
