Price: $6,500

It sits pretty much stock. ONLY 72,000 OG Miles. Maintained very well... Moral of the story is, it's time for an MSP.

"Mods" (yes... in quotations, cause all i ever really did was small appearance things)

MSP Wheels
Fresh Kumho tires (two months old)
Clear Side Markers
Depo Blacked out Headlights
New MP3 Floormats
New MP3 Badges (others faded, and i liked the way they looked, so i replaced them)
+ OG headlights in box
+ extra set of tails, (w/ reverse light @ the bottom)
+ extra grill (was going to make a custom one but never got around to it)

sorry for the lousy pics/thread, i'll update and renovate (w/ tagged pics) when i get home from work! i just wanted to get the main thread up. please don't lock.

Looks, very clean! Good luck on the sale, looks/sounds like it won't be much of a problem.

I never did understand the need to start a thread before you take the photos.

I never did understand the need to start a thread before you take the photos.

... and I never did understand why the mazda forums are soooooo stingy with their marketplace threads.

but really, if i didn't make the thread, i would have kept pushing it off. now that it exists, i have a commitment to go take the pictures... and sell my car! i'll have them up soon, no worries.

good luck with you're price theres guys selling MSPs for similar prices...

if you think its "stingy" here... no one is holding a gun to your head.

Mmmmm.. love the yellow MP3. I know this car has a lot of sentimental value to you, but it's not worth $7,500. It's 8 years old and they never really held their value that well to begin with for some reason.

If you ever get the price down to $5K range feel free to PM me. I've been in the market for a yellow MP3 to replace my slowly rusting P5, but have never had a chance to close the deal on one.

And the rules are strict because this forum cares about protecting its' members from scammers. It happened a lot in the early days, so a set of strict FS rules got establishes in order to protect buyers and sellers alike.

With that said, good luck with the sale

Any interior pics?

 

[xDJ DUBx]

7,500 is much, clean car though.

 

[nate0123]

Got your pics - thread reopened!

Interior and engine pics will probably help you in selling this. Car looks really nice on the outside though, good job on maintaining it.

WHYYY BIZZZZZZZZZZZZ Lol,

Oh and I saw a MP3 at the firestone in pottstown D: I dont think taht was you cause i only saw you once in pottstown. lol

 

[VIPMSP]

pictures coming soon. i took them the other day just haven't had enough time to upload/post them. most likely later tonight.

 

[KrayzieFox]

I'm very interested in this car by the way depending on your flexibility on the price. Considering that there are MSPs with similar miles (2 years younger + turbo + LSD) start around $6500 and up these days, an MP3 such as yours will have a hard time selling for $7500.

Let me know, and I'm looking forward to the engine/interior pics

I've sold two mp3s in as many years - 1 with 75000 miles sold for $7600 two years ago, and several months ago I sold one with 135K miles for $4300. Both were in immaculate condition. Good luck with the sale, but if you actually want to sell drop the price by about 2 grand.

 

[VIPMSP]

the car is immaculate (minus my school books and a couple water bottles at the moment). i already have an offer of 7,000 from a local kid. i'm open to offers, PM me with what you're offering.

 

[KrayzieFox]

The car does look very nice (what's with the shifter knob in the last pic?) but my highest price probably won't be very suitable for you based on your starting price. I would offer $5500 at most, since that's the highest book value on this vehicle.. therefore the amount that I could actually finance through my credit union. It's also in my opinion a very accurate and fair actual price for the vehicle.

If you manage to sell for $7000 locally then kudos to you, but newer Proteges with more options can be had for that much. One just like yours with about 10K more miles sold for $4300 a couple months back..

EDIT: A couple engine and trunk shots would be nice as well though. The more pictures the better when you're trying to sell online. Thanks

If someone offered you $7,000 for a car car that is worth $5,500 and you are "asking" $7,500, you better take it.

again, this isn't a "hey, what's your opinion?" thread. if you aren't making an offer, or interested, leave. and the car is worth well over 5,500.

waiting on the local kid though, still make offers, because like i said, i'd rather see it go to a mazda enthusiast than a kid who has no idea what he's doing...
