#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
#36 of 265 Offers in So Cal by md_rocks May 28, 2003 (4:50 pm)
Best I've been getting is $15,700 + ttl   6 dash CD, moonroof, yellow, auto, polished wheels. Is the regional difference that great as to where Proto scores one for $13,800?   Sorry but a $2K difference on a car with a low price to begin with seems crazy to me.   Looking very hard at a yellow or laser blue one with auto.
#37 of 265 ES pricing by salc1 May 31, 2003 (8:41 pm)
Hi all:   Just put made a deal on an ES w/ auto, moonroof, 6cd, abs, side airbags. Got a price of $16350 + tax. This a $0 down, 0% finance. Dealer has to locate my color (laser blue), otherwise I think I could have done a little better. Any thoughts on this price?
#38 of 265 Got a P5 in Oakland, CA by loolala Jun 23, 2003 (12:41 am)
I helped my friend on getting a Laser Blue P5 today. The options are: Moonroof w/ 6 disc CD, Auto Transmission, Rear Bumper Guard, and Alarm. Other items listed as STD are: 16" Alloy wheel and Roof Rack. She paid $16,500 out the door (approximately $15,000 + 8.25% CA tax and fees) with 0 down and 3.9% for 60 months. Tell me it's worth my time spending 5 hours at the dealership! We were new at this, but we did our homework. They have about 20 P5's on the lot, and with our color choices (Blue, yellow, silver), only one had the ABS/side airbag, but it was a 5 speed, which was out of the question for my friend. I am quite happy with her purchase, and hope I'll get to zoom ZOOM once in a while!
#39 of 265 Just got a 2003 Protege by morphx22 Jun 23, 2003 (8:19 pm)
The MSRP was like 17000 for a LX with moonroof/6-cd changer. He put it down to 14000. Then with tax + the other junk it was 15000, then since i was a recent graduate i got 500 off. So total was 14500 out the door. Pretty good deal. I could of went without the 6cd changer cause im installing my mp3 player, which i heard taking out the stock radio is REAL annoying, but oh well.
