What about it Braden?!! You know? The Black Mica rocks hard! Could you really be happy without the foglights? Many questions you must ask yourself, as the time draws nearer.

Exactly! Much like the cool contrast of my wife's Silver Protege ES, and my Black Mica MSP.

I also like the Titanium (wish they hadn't changed the front cap though), and I swore I would never own another black car, but that has all changed. The MAZDASPEED is awesome in black. And; I will tell you - you ought to see mine now after the Meguiar's treatment Saturday - WOW!!!
The single photo in my 'new' signature below shows it; but of course, a photo does little justice.

Black's the only way to go!
About the MSRP. Our dealer wanted to sell the first MSP in my city so he beat our other dealers deal with no markup up just 20,500 pre ordered. The other dealer went 20,000 even. So we got it for 20k.

Just tell them exactly that - $19,500 or no deal. If they don't bite then they don't want to sell it. Auto dealers in general are struggling badly with the fear of war and general economic swoon. Just be aggressive and make it happen! Let them know you will drive off the lot at that price versus not buying from them at all.
I had a similar stipulation... a specific payment amount a month or no deal. It took two solid days of playing games but we made it work and I left happy (in a black MSP).
Stick to your guns and good luck!(getsome)

I walked out out of both dealers here - then I got the deal I wanted. $500 should make no difference.

My dealer has 7, yes 7 MSP's on their inventory list. He still wants a 3k markup, I'm like are you kidding me?
Braden: Why not get bids over the internet? Mazda's site will even link you to them. It's much easier to dicker over email and they know you're talking to all the other dealers email, too. If you want to, you can go to edmunds.com and look up their article on buying over the internet. Bottom line: all three times, the internet figure was lower than the walk into the dealer figure, faster and with less hassle.
Just a thought. Good luck.

As a point of advice, would it help to threaten moving to another brand if they don't bargain? Surely MSP dealerships are aware of the SRT-4 by now, and the threat it poses to MSP sales.
