    Mazda S-Plan Pricing

    when I asked him about s-plan on 2002's, he said that they were priced low to begin with but he could still go look up the splan anyway. I got the impression that you might be able to deal on the older ones less than the splan price anyway. I know when we bought my wife's 626, the model was...

    Mazda S-Plan Pricing

    You are lucky that they are selling it for that as MSRP is 20500. That is very odd as I have never heard of a dealer ever pricing a vehicle under MSRP unless its not selling...

    Mazda Begins Production of "Axela" (Mazda3)

    I do know from looking at the specs on the JP site that 110kw in 2.0l equates to 150hp, so a bump of only 10hp to the 2.3l would be a waste. I would imagine that at the very least you would see a 15-20% hp output for the larger engine. This would mean more like 175 on the 2.3l , which sounds...

    I paid 12800 and it has 83000 miles. He owned it for 7500 miles a year and a half. It is in mint condition b/c it was owned by an old lady who had ALL the service work and recommended tune-ups done at the Acura dealership.

    I can pass this ladies info to you. She's in Pennsylvania. I gave up on her b/c she's stalling and I need things to work like clockwork b/c I'm traveling far to get it. (white ITR 45k miles asking $15500) I got a reply from another guy that I wanted his car much more than I did the ITR, but he...

    Though I was very excited about owning a Mazdaspeed Protege, I just couldn't wait... Over the weekend I found a '97 Integra Type R. My dream car. If everything goes right I will be driving it within the month. I'm glad I was able to contribute. I will keep y'all posted though, b/c nothing is...

    Finally, Mazda steps up to the plate with a real car...

    You are the exact reason why rates are so high! You should be ashamed. Insurance isn't an option.

    It is totally illegal. You can get in serious trouble for being in a wreck with no insurance. But, there are so many of them that most people carry uninsured motorists coverage on their insurance also.

    The crazy thing about Prog was explained to me by a rep one day. He told me that your credit rating at progressive is just as important as your driving record!!! I have their highest rating and no accidents so I have the cheapest rate they can offer. I'm with Progressive and I'm sorry I kinda...

    Someone help and correct if wrong

    Yeah, where will the weak link be when this one comes out? They are upgrading the clutch and the driveshaft. Is it in the Flywheel? Doesn't a company already make an upgrade to the flywheel for the pro?

    Finally, Mazda steps up to the plate with a real car...

    Admittedly, I am older than you 27 (past that magical 25 mark for insurance) and I am married but I looked into the insurance on a WRX sedan and my premium would only be $10 more per month than what I pay right now (swapping from 96 neon to a WRX BTW). Maybe you should shop around for other...
