Car now has 7650 miles as I've driven it a few times this summer :p

Well here she is again. I thought she was sold before. I had two offers for my full price. While I waited for the first guy to come through with the financing, the other thought the car was sold and ended up buying another.

Oh well, it just hurts to have two full price offers and lose them both.

Anyway, I'll post it here again in case anyone is lurking and looking for an awesome low mileage Speed.

It has all the basic features modern cars have today plus everything that makes it a MazdaSpeed.

The car is my summer toy that I drive every once and a while. 7525 original miles. I've never had a problem with the car and she is a pleasure to drive. I'm almost 32 with a wife and daughter and I just love having a mint car that I can take out on nice weekends. I've always been a shoer and not a goer. The car has never been to a track, never been auto crossed and I've never street raced the car (it's not driven enough to find a street race). When I do drive it, I take it to my aunts house, my parents house or to work but only on sunny days. As soon as I come home, it gets a dusting with the California duster and then put back under the two covers and comforters.

I just don't have the time to drive this car with a six month old and I'm sure it can be better used by someone else.

I have pretty much all receipts for the aftermarket parts, plus their instructions or warranty cards. I also have the receipts for any factory maintenance and my oil changes (mobil 1). All documentation I have will go with the car including every manual that came with the car, the original window sticker folded neatly twice, the original kenwood stereo tools etc.

I also had the windows etched for extra security and as a deterrent.

The car still has the plastic protection over the MazdaSpeed doorsills. That's what a nut I am.

I have no problem with anyone wanting to stop by and look at the car. I'm located in Burlington New Jersey.

I've included pictures of the car when stored for the winter with the wheels off, on jackstands, doors/trunk/hood open and covered.

I've also included a picture of all the documentation, manuals, instructions and receipts I have.

PRICE - 17,000

Nice ride...I think I ran by this car for sale a month or so ago on auto trader. Bump for a clean ride. I think your asking price might be a little on the high side though even though the car has low miles. There are used MS3's on here going for only a couple grand higher. If the car were 100% original i think that price would be a bit more feasible. Good luck on the sale!
 
Thanks man, she's on Autotrader too so it probably is the same car.

I got two offers for my full price so I know people are willing to pay for the car. While I waited for the first in line to get his financing the second buyer (who had the financing) thought the car was sold so he bought another MSP.

It's not for everyone but if you are looking for this type of car and want the piece of mind of low mileage and knowing the car has been babied to no end, then it's the perfect car.

Took her out today for Father's day. Drove her down to my parents house near the shore.

She really is a great driving car. The suspension is perfect and I'd like to think my 6 month old enjoyed the drive.

Looking for a new home :)
 
hey just one question. I'm trying to help out a fellow forum member...

Where did you get the amber sidemarkers?
 
Oh my GOD! .. YOU are the one that lives in Burlington?!

My dad saw the car on .. whatever car sale site, and was actually thinking of buying it!
 
Fish - they are the sidemarkers from the MP3's

Cindy - That's me. Now that you know where I am, let me know if you and your dad want to come by to look at it.

After we got back from my parents house, she got a dusting, completely cleaned with Quick Detailer and then covered back up in the garage. Good as new again! Come take her off my hands as I'm itching to put a down payment towards an 09 Challenger :)

(rofl)

You've got to be kidding .. because THAT is the other car that my dad is thinking of. The Challenger.

Wow. Small world.

:) I've been following that car ever since it was announced. I guess you can say that I'm infatuated by it, however, the price probably puts it out of reach.

I really want one but I don't know if I can actually afford one, by the time I option it out it will be well over $47k. Ugh.

Plus, who knows what the price of gas will be in a few years.

Even if I can afford one, it will still be a good move to sell the MSP as we are paying insurance for a car I barely use and that money can be better spent on diapers and formula.

Make that three offers. I logged in to send you a PM on this car, but saw in your first thread that it was sold, so I bought my MS3 instead. How many chickens were unhatched?

Damn... I really got screwed trying to do the right thing and wait for the first guy in line.

Oh well, best of luck with your new car!
