Replying to: aviboy97 (Nov 27, 2006 3:05 pm) Funny comment considering YOU brought that point into the discussion. Personally, I think EVO will eat MS6 for lunch (at the track) because it is a better all around performer. Ability to stay on ones bumper on the freeway only proves that the disparity is NOT huge! Furthermore, if I were to install an FMIC or another turbo would your dealership still touch my vehicle with respect to warranty issues? In either case, I also think that MS6 is a steal particularly at prices that are far below invoice and after incentives. I am here selling them That is part of the problem: you have a vested financial interest in anything you say here. What is my motivation? I have looked far outside my area, have you? I have said it above and I will say it again: the prices vary greatly and the market does not seem very uniform. However, given upto $4k in price differences that your data also confirms (at least at one end), I would suggest that buyers from your area should start looking across the country because the cost of shipping is well under $1k... You may not like that I say that but it seem like a plausible explanation or the truth, does it not?

You went on to say how the MS6 does not compare, egging on my personal experience!!  LOL. You are forgetting I never said it was a faster car on the track. I only used my experience on the highway, I made no other claim!! I know the STi/EVO will "eat the MS6 for lunch on the track". I also sell Subaru's out of the largest Subaru dealer in the nation, although that alone does not mean I am an expert, however, I am well aware of what the STi's are capable of, as well as the EVO's. Furthermore, if I were to install an FMIC or another turbo would your dealership still touch my vehicle with respect to warranty issues? It is not up to my dealership, it is up to Mazda North American Operations. I am not a tech, nor am I a service consultant. Legally, unless the manufacturer can prove that a modified part caused a failure, the warranty must be honored. Magnuson Moss Warranty Act US Code-Title15, Chapter50, Sections 2301-2315. I have looked far outside my area, have you? Of course I have! But, why would I tell any potential buyers to? That's just silly. I am well aware of what dealers across the nation are doing, however, it has no relevance to me. I was asked by YOU to give my input as to what I am selling them for!! I'm doing just that! LOL You may not like that I say that but it seem like a plausible explanation or the truth, does it not? Hey, I'm not going to sit here and disagree with you, for, if I were a consumer, I would do the same. However, I am not. I am on the other end of the spectrum, and it is the American way to do what I do, after all, this is a capitalist society, correct?  Anywho, my interest here is not financial, but rather because I am an enthusiast. I am here to learn as well as educate.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Nov 29, 2006 2:27 pm) However, I am not sure that dealerships always follow the manufacturer or government "rules". I (and others) have been told numberous times that abuse (even when there was not any) has caused the problem and it would not be covered under warranty. Basically, the transactional effort of fighting for repairs is sometimes much greater than the cost of repairs and the firms know that and thus their practices reflect that bit of knowledge. YES: MS6 has better HWY gearing and it also has a better power/torque curve. However, it is bigger/heavier which may hurt more on take-offs. I also think that MS6 is weaker on cornering (needs bigger feet) but it is almost there on the brakes. I prefer MS6 because of the interior and lack or racer looks or sleeper appearance.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Nov 28, 2006 5:42 am) For those sales people in the NJ/NY/PA area, I was trying to figure out what the deal would be for a lease. I would be trading in my 2003 Taurus SE (realistically $4500-5000). Any thoughts on what a lease payment would be? I think the deals/incentives are pretty inticing and its between a used GTO purchase, Trailblazer SS lease, or a MS6 lease or purchase. Thanks and hopefully we can do business.

Replying to: abraindrainer (Nov 30, 2006 5:24 am) Could not agree with you more about your assessment of the MS6. I happen to prefer it over the rally rockets. More comfortable ride, plenty of power, and good handling, and sleeper look. |

Replying to: jdubs952 (Nov 30, 2006 9:08 am) Mazda will announce new programs tomorrow, the start of the new month. New lease programs, as well as interest rates, and possible change in rebates. I know that today, Nov 30th, is the last day for the Thanksgiving rebate of $500 on all 06 Mazdaspeed6's.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Nov 30, 2006 10:13 am) I just see such a wide variety and if they are seriously doing 8k off MSRP, which means I can get into a MS6 GT for around 22-23k, thats a steal. But a used 400hp GTO is about the same price..decisions, decisions!
