? about MSP Price

[TonyMS]

I have a 2003.5 MSP Laser blue w/ 10953 miles totally stock in show room condition. Just too give you an idea of how mint it is the floor mats have never been dirty. Whats it worth edmunds says as much as 18k but show how I doubt that. I looked around but it is kinda hard to find ones for sale to get a price. So what do you guys think?

15k

 

[Wha'Happened]

yup 15k sounds right. I asked my friend that works at Mazda and he said 13 maybe 14k on trade in. 15K and some change on a private sale though.

18k..wow..even if i sold my car for 15k..i still end up in agood deal..got mine for 15, 900..also have the same milage if not lower.hmm..MS6..zoomzoom

 

[Crock]

18K is more than I bought mine for. I should sell it and run with the money!!

 

[TonyMS]

Yeah I know I bought mine new for about that. I never have found any of those pricing guides to give me any help at all no matter what car I was trying to sell or trade. I got an offer from a dealer for 12k but I just cannot give the car away for that when I know they will put it on there lot for $18,995. The dealer said what is that a just a souped up Protege like I went to Pepboys an modded a regular ES. It seems unless to got a silver Accord, Camry, or Civic nobody wants you car. Oh well I am going to put it up on ebay and autotrader and see what happens funny thing is I am getting rid of it to buy a Toyota Prius (don't laugh) for business purposes.

u got a good deal, how many miles??

 

[TonyMS]

Yes do tell how many miles what kinda condition. There is one at a local dealer w/ 40k for 14995. It has some no name intake, autometer guages (boost doesn't work and the a/f didn't look hooked up right and the pillar mount didn't go down all the way and you could see wires at the end), some off brand tires, and some hideous carbon fiber stickers down the sides of the hood, also didn't have orignal sound had some walmart looking cd player that didn't have a name on it. These cars make me think mine should be worth atleat 16k maybe 16.5k. I guess I will see.

so... if it's a hooked up pepboys ES... after i put rods in along with all my other mods listed and have it tuned, then i can get 20K since it will be faster than an evo and more reliable???? That dealer was a jackass!

 

[Caughtbycops]

i got mine for 14k for everything, sunlight silver 2003.5 with 14k mi in showroom condition, actually it was chillen in the showroom when i went to look at it.

 

[LpSevier]

My car was a bone stock, mint condition 2003.5 Ti Grey with 33.8k. I paid 12.9k for it, brand new fuzion zri tires too.

 

[CasopoliS]

That was a good deal you got Lp.
I got mine for $16,500 with 7k miles, mint cond, with tons of mods. I toyed around with parting it out, putting it back to stock, and selling it. Now it has 15k miles and a tiny door ding..... and more mods. It would be a b**** to return to stock though. Do dealers give less $ for cars if it looks like it was modded, even if returned to stock? I am sure they can tell it has once been fooled around with.
Since they are selling these so cheap.... I am guessing they are buying them back for even less.
Sorry for the jacking.
