#8 of 265 Finally by tuckerdog1 Dec 18, 2002 (4:23 pm)
The only reason I've become fairly current on the Pro prices around here, is because a friend asked me to help her shop for a new car. Her finances are tight ( real tight ), and after shopping around, nothing in the area touched the closeout prices on the 02's.And I've known these to be great cars in their class. But she made this a real "job". Of course, when you're talking closeouts, your choices are limited to what's on the lot(s). And when we started, there was a lot to choose from. But none were available in 'silver'. And she just had to have 'silver'. As time went by, the selection became thinner & thinner, until there was nothing she would even consider ( always based on color ). But finally, she is buying one. And it may have paid off for her to wait. Got an 02 Mazda program car with 8700 miles & 2 yrs 2 months left on the warranty. It's a 'silver' LX with the following options: moonroof with wind deflector, alloys ( I understand these come on the car when moonroof is ordered ), auto trans, 6 disk CD changer, fog lights. The Mazda employee that was using the car must have left a child seat permanently in place in the rear, because the headrest is crushed where the strap goes over it & is anchored to the rear deck. The dealer is replacing the whole rear seat because of this. They are also installing the perimeter alarm. $10,900+TTL. Should she hold out for wheel locks? Just kidding..
#9 of 265 IMHO, sounds like too much ... by ashutoshsm Dec 19, 2002 (7:20 am)
... to pay for a used car (whatever they tell you about how new it is!).   Get them to throw in an extended warranty or something, because I thought someone earlier listed a similar advertised price for a brand new 2002 LX (newspaper ads, but nonetheless, its got 8600+ less miles!)

I paid $23 798 Canadian dollars (taxes, fees all incl.) for 1.8 L 1999 Mazda Protege 5spd touring edition with spoiler, cruise, A/C, power windows and doors.   NO ABS, sunroof, or Alloys!   I think I paid way too much considering that touring editions now have alloys, ABS, etc.   Oh well. I love the car. Virtually trouble free operation. Had a broken front link stabilizer repaired and rear links replaced.
#11 of 265 what? by dinu01 Jan 12, 2003 (10:43 am)
$23.000 CDN for a 99?   A new one with all the toys retails for $22.000!   Dinu
#12 of 265 2003 ES by disgruntled4 Jan 14, 2003 (7:09 am)
just bought it in december. $16,100. I wanted black, so they had to search around for it. The dealer finaly found one in Houston. I didn't want it driven from there, though, so he had it trailer-hauled down. 20 miles on it when I purchased. all the ES goodies, foglights, power everything, sunroof, rims, dunlops, etc. The only thing...I had to have a manual trans. Ya know, zoom! Anyway, I felt like I got a good deal. What do you guys think?
#13 of 265 Is it zoom zoom time?! by pwperkins Jan 14, 2003 (8:28 pm)
I'm days away from buying a P5. I've found the model I want: midnight blue, abs & side airbags, cd & sunroof, cargo tray, rear bumper guard and wheel locks. I've negotiated the price down to $17300 that's the whole nut (taxes, licence,etc), minus $1000 rebate and even a $100 managers discount and the "s" plan too! I'm feeling good, but I'm also feelin' greedy. I've been checking out this site, so before I fork over the dough! what do my fellow P5 owners think? Is this a good deal?!   P5 Wanna-be

That's a very good deal. Go for it.
#15 of 265 2002 Protege DX by igotit Jan 31, 2003 (3:48 pm)
i got a quote for 2002 Protege DX, in Minnepolis, MN. It's $11803 for AT, AC, etc. doesn't specifies other options. Is it a fair deal or should be little bit lower? Based on #3, #4, #6 messages, it seems that I should be able to get it even lower? any suggestion?
#16 of 265 Pricing questions on 2003 P5 by sharris Mar 04, 2003 (12:28 pm)
My girlfriend is considering purchasing a 2003 Protege5. She asked me to research pricing. Options she would want are AT, ABS/side airbags, and cassette. From Edmund's, invoice with those options is $17,442 and "TMV" is $17,851. We've also seen ads from local dealers (SF Bay Area) at around $15,500, though I'm not sure what, if any, options those cars had. So the question is, what is a good target price (as in X dollars above invoice) and what would be a good initial offer to make to the dealers? What are the best deals people have been able to make on such a car?   Our plan is to put an offer together specifying what she wants and fax it to a bunch of dealers in the area. Worked great for me when I got my new sedan recently.   TIA...
#17 of 265 Silver P5. by mazdafun Mar 04, 2003 (12:50 pm)
My wife got a 2003 P5 with AT and cassette. No ABS/SAB, but she got the leather, which costs roughly the same.   She got hers for about $50 below the "S-plan" price at about $16,500. The dealership was having a customer-loyalty weekend (I had bought my '99 Pro from them), so were selling at about invoice.
