:wtf: nice...and here I thought all this time that MP5 owners were of the "kinder,gentler" nature. With friends like that...

Hey...has anybody had any experience (positive or negative) with the various turbo kits available for the "5?" I'm working on potentially installing, and would like any feedback. Reliability? Completeness of kit? Driveability? (Relative) ease of installation? Thanks in advance! (whitep5)

hmmph...and my first car was a hand-me-down that didn't even run! 16 years of driving later, and I've still always had to buy my own...gotta be a rich aunt that I don't know about somewhere in my family tree!!

:wtf: Man, I tell ya...kids have no right to complain then! My dad never volunteered to pay for a car. If I wanted it, I bought it, and kept it up! Now parents are buying teens $15,000 BRAND NEW cars! I had to go to college for 5 years and work in my chosen profession for 11 years before I...

How do people young people afford a $16,000 car??? Easy...banks and other financial institutions will finance just about anybody with a pulse...I don't plan on letting my son fall into that payment trap (heck, my first car was a 1978 Plymouth Arrow GT that didn't even run!!)...nothing like...

so, at 33 I don't feel quite as "old"...hehehehe... currently overseas and missing my MP5 something terrible...:(

And with the Neon you get exactly that...a Neon! Sure, the engine kicks ass, but I remember my best friend owning a Shelby Charger...very fast, but a piece of crap in EVERY other way. Dude...keep the P5...

I'm one of the *old* folks on this site! Damn..I'm 33 and drive an MP5...should I have bought an MPV instead? hehehehe...

Lets remember who owns Mazda....and that it appears that more "cooperation" between the two companies will surely develop as the years go on. That being said, from a strictly statistical standpoint, the MP5 has the advantage over the Focus. Yeah, there have been improvements in quality at...

Can speak to both Meguiars and Zymol...comes down to personal preference. I've used Zymol exclusively for about 10 years now. Yeah, I know...I know..expensive as hell, but damn...my cars have all looked great because of it (most of them older BMWs...). We've come a long way since the days of...

I agree...still, $4000 off isn't something to sneeze at. Paying less than $15000 for any new car is pretty amazing, especially one like the MP5. Don't know if my supplier discount will impact anything, but it never hurts to ask. Even a few hundred off would offset some of the price of the...

to make it even sweeter, I just found out my company has a rebate program with Ford, since we are a supplier to them...maybe can knock off a few more bucks? hehehe:D

if I can get confirmation tomorrow from the guy I was talking to that the 14400 is for a 2003 MP5 as I asked for, then I most likely will. I mean, a new car for less than a four year old one? And I really don't like being seen in the Hoover, er, minivan...:rolleyes:

that would account for the higher price...I almost fell over when he said 14400...hell, the (gasp) 1999 minivan I'm driving now I still owe more than that on, and it's already a four year old vehicle.

would assume that includes all applicable rebates, etc...that, and I noticed yours is an automatic, since I'm considering the 5 speed, that knocks off a bit from your 15400 price. I was quoted 13900 without sunroof/CD, but I gotta have my sliding top
