It sounds so mean. I think you got on it a little on the way out from the shop. I love that car... I will always love Proteges. If you want me to slap on those brake pads for ya, let me know.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. ha ha ha

Whenever you have the time, depending on weather

Very impressive numbers! Did it exceed your expectations?

Also, I need to install my front pads, I've had these EBC Yellowstuff sitting in my car for a while now lol. I was trying to get more life out of the stock pads, but now it's time to change them. I don't think I have the tools to do it myself though

For the most part, I am sure that the car has more, which will see in the summer when it is warmer outside. We'll have more numbers At the PA Dyno day.....Mustang Dynos numbers are usually 15% less that other dyno's so I am happy.

B3R has a mustang correct?

ok, im gonna post here too...

i think it might be time to get rid of the protege. i know i know... and im not going for a miata... yet...

brought the 5 into the dealership... decided to test out a 2011 6. both the 6 cylinder and the 4. i am very happy with how it drives. i need a slightly bigger car for hauling around the kid and stuff. the 6 isnt my ideal car, but they have some stupid good offers right now. talked with my guy there... mazda loyalty, my credit, and all incentives...

24 month lease.... 15000 miles a year... for the mazda6i sport... (basic model, but i dont need a lot of stuff here)
$202 a month. no money down. that is only $4848 for 2 years.

not having to worry about maintenance and such... oh im thinking about it. i have till the end of feb for sure.

the price doesnt include what i will get if i trade the p5. heck, i might not want to trade and just try to sell... but the car needs work. brakes, timing belt and other belts, and tires for sure. basically, any money from the p5 and i get even lower payments.

oh im thinking about this hard. the 5 will be paid off sometime this year, so that will be well over a year with 1 car payment of only 202 bucks. (then i can save up for my miata!)

I say if it's beneficial for you and makes the most sense money-wise... Do it. Hell, just a couple weeks ago I was considering how much easier my life would be if I traded everything I have in on a 2.

Even the MSM???

 

[Rockin03mp5]

i dont think i could get a 2 that cheap.

they are pushing the 6 right now. plus, in 2 years, there will be so many more options out there. the new skyactive engines should be around.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

i am so sick of these double posts.... i think it happens most in threads like this with lots of replies.

 

[o0n8]

that sounds like a great deal.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

yeah, since usually to get around 200 a month with anyone else, you have to do the 10000 mile a year, and still have to put some money down.

plus, going over is cheap with mazda. only $.15 per mile. that is $150 for every 1000 miles over. most places charge $.25 a mile over.

Especially the MSM. But I've changed my mind recently.

 

[wannabe]

i haven't had a car payment in over a year, and i think next time i buy a car i will do the same again..put down a metric s*** ton (14k on the cx7, 11k on the speed6) and just pay it off in less than a year. its SOO much easier to not have that payment.

 

[THE Phen]

I was paying on the MSM and the P5 together for the better part of 2 1/2 years. Pure hell. I'm never doing anything that dumb again.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

ive will be able to pay the 5 year loan on the 5 off in 3 years. with buying a house last year, i have no extra moneys on hand to put down.

 

[Evan9999]

My MS3 is a 320/month payment, which isn't too bad. I've recently been contemplating on selling it, then buying a cheap daily and building a track car. But I enjoy having a new car too much to get rid of it.

Phen, I can't see you driving just a Mazda2. They're cool and small, but not very fast stock. I can't imagine you not having a toy car lol.

 

[THE Phen]

It's more fun to drive a slow car fast. After all, the P5 was my DD for 4 years.

 

[Rockin03mp5]

if they give me 2K for the p5... which they should at the least... i have done my research... even with the things it needs...

my payment will only be $112 a month. can you guys live with that? a new car... $112 a month?
