#59 of 265 Thought I got a great deal, but you guys rock by philippa76 Aug 05, 2003 (6:26 pm)
Someone else mentioned that they bought theirs at Quirk Mazda in Quincy, MA - aren't they slimy?   Anyway, I went there, because they said they'd give me $2500 off MSRP plus 0% financing, and I had yet to see that someone had finagled that, so I thought I was so cool. *sigh*   Anyway, MSRP was $18,315 with the AT and no other options - I paid $15629, which is $2686 below MSRP, but then got slapped with their bogus $299 "Documentary Preparation" which is a crock, add tax, title, etc., and I'm now up to $17,200.   It seemed OK to me, because it's still below Edmunds TMV, but you guys blew me out of the water. I was new at this, it being my first car and all. Want to give me some pointers for next time? (Not that that will be anytime soon.)   Thanks,   Philippa

#63 of 265 Max speed by bluong1 Aug 06, 2003 (11:40 pm)
Actually the Pro can go up to 125 mph, if they do not put the electronic shutdown (N.A. version).

115 was a guess on my part. Lots of cars have optimistic speedos. My old Jetta turbo claimed something like 145 or near there on the speedometer. I'd believe that when turtles fly with jetpacks.

I bought mine a week ago at Trussville Mazda in Alabama. Paid 15750 out the door, including Sunroof/6 disc changer. Great deal, couldnt pass it up. Love it so far.   dm

#67 of 265 me by blueguydotcom Aug 14, 2003 (12:31 pm)
I'm not gonna drive 90 miles per day in my new baby. It has very little to do with mileage and more to do with adding wear and tear (thus getting out of warranty really fast), replacement tire costs (upwards of 1k every 10-15000 miles), and I'm not gonna drive a stickshift in stop and go traffic 45 miles each direction.   Right now I'm still not sold on anything. Though the old Integra's catching my eye as they're cheap, quick enough and run forever. 6-8k can get me into a little car that'll be solid for 3 or 4 more years.
#68 of 265 Well.... by kyfdx HOST Aug 14, 2003 (12:56 pm)
If you do consider the Protege, I think the ES is definitely worth it. The 16" wheels are made by BBS and really improve the handling, plus you get tweeters for the stereo and some other stuff. I think the difference is only $700. An ES loaded up with auto, indash cd changer, sunroof stickers for about $18K with $2.5K rebate. Probably about $14K plus tax. Alternatively, I see '02 ES's going for about $11-11.5K with low miles and almost 3 years of warranty left. A very reliable car with a great warranty from Mazda.   regards, kyfdx
