2003 Mazdaspeed Protege (Canada)

[99 Pro]

Just curious as to what a new Mazdaspeed Protege cost back in 2003? There is one for sale in my province, and I am taking a serious look at it since there was only 250 made for Canada and maybe about 5-10 in my province. I just want to know if he is asking too much for it.

03.5: 21,000 Usd

these are the "msrp". Some of us got them for below retail. I got mine in Dec. of '03 and they just wanted to get rid of them. There was a 2500usd cash to customer plus what they took off of "sticker". Ended up at 16,500usd +++.

hey since we are on this topic....when were the 03.5's actually sold? Im trying to figure out when the first owner of my car bought mine. What months/year did they go on sale? End of 03?

And where do i look on my car to see when it was made?

If you call up mazda (the same number to call to get your msp #) they can tell you what week it was on the production line from the vin. When I called they said that my car wa built in July of 2003. It's a 2003.5 (7?) Sunlight Silver that I purchased Dec. 19, 2003. Evidently alot of MSP's came to FL and when I purchased mine, there were only three other speeds on the lot; two blue's and a titanium.

Yeah, thats great, he asked for what a new one sold for, which would imply MSRP.

I purchased mine, brand new with 7 miles on it, literally off the show room floor for $16,500 plus tax, tags, etc. Being that it was "brand new", it is what an 03.5 msp sold for "new".

Besides, how many people honestly pay msrp when buying a "new" car????

 

[Autox MSP]

i paid 16.3 new.

 

[king air]

Back when they were new the 03 was 26,900 and the 03.5 was 27,500. But they were selling for like 23 24k at the end of the year.

I paid $23 for mine cause I got it RIGHT when they came out and I was upside down $2k on my 2002 Protege5 trade-in.

ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh, we were including everything including trade in??? in that case, I paid $24,975.00usd for my msp.... lol the car by itself, though, was only $16,500.

Now I feel better. The price was $19k (plus taxes and junk) which I think is fair for the MSP.
