Well, my first full day of wheelin' and dealin' is behind me. I'd say there wasn't much dealin' going on though. Here are my offers: Dealer 1: $32622 out the door; includes a non-negotiable 'etching' fee of $399 (this is the dealer I went to before) but no mention of any other extras, even a...

Well, according to the OP, a drop from ~25k for a 3.5 year old car down to ~13k for a 4.5 year old car? That seems like a disproportionate drop in that one year...

Do you guys think the speed3 will depreciate in a similar manner?

After reading the thread regarding Park Mazda, I thought it might be a good idea to get some opinions on who has had good/bad experiences with which dealer. I will start: **disclaimer: I haven't bought yet, but am going to be starting my serious car shopping this weekend and will repost my...

Got my first quote - $32,622 out the door. What do you all think? It apparently has all-seasons on it (despite the website saying in Canada they're summers) but I'd still get winters. So this is the price with nothing thrown in - no mats, no CAI, nothing. I just wanted to get a starter price...

There sure are some big-footed people on this forum...

Thanks for the advice - keep it coming! I am starting my serious car-shopping foray on Saturday and have five dealers to haggle with and go back and forth with until February 29th which is when the 0% ends. I could use all the advice you could give me!

Like most people on here, I drove a beater at 16 as well. In retrospect it was great because driving is a new skill and needs time to be 'learned' just like riding a bike or skiing or any other activity. My words of advice to the OP: take it to the track. That way you can learn your own...

aaahahahahahaha! So funny. I am 5'11" too, but I wear a 9 so I imagine I won't have any problems with it, unless I'm wearing heels.... edit: boooo - clown picture gone. Now it looks like I'm laughing at nothing like an idiot...

And so, how'd it go?

I am considering doing this when I get mine. Can you throw up some pics?

Yes, my first plan is to get a car starter/alarm combo (necessary for -40C windchill and I park outside where the wind really rips....) and my second plan is to get winter tires - I've always had winter tires for my cars and think they're great - next best thing to 4x4!

Hey all. I am a few months away from getting my speed3 because I am still in school. However, I just checked the web and they are offering 0% financing (for 5 years!) where I am, so my 'rents offered to co-sign for me because I have no income right now. But I have some Canadian-specific...

any news Je5ter? Did you get your fix? How does it sound now, even though it's just as cold?

Don't you guys have the grey 3's (regular) in the states? We do in Canada - too many....

haha! I was wondering how you were doing now that the cold has REALLY set in here in Alberta - it's just unnatural how cold it is! Glad to hear they have a fix for it - hopefully when I am ready to buy it won't be an issue! Keep us updated as to whether the fix works or not, both short and...

Wow. Do I know how to kill a conversation. *sigh* I guess I better get used to big brother tapping my phones because if he wasn't before, he sure is now!

Take both days off - that's what sick days are for!!

Because then the oil companies wouldn't be making money........ Yes, car's can be run on all sorts of things - there's a friend of my dad's who has been working on a car to run on used cooking oil (and this is being done by lots of people - saw a doc about a guy in Cali doing it too). But do...
