Evo owner looking at MS6's!

hehe check out that vid of the ms6 beating the evo on youtube. i liked that vid when it first came out lol
 
maybe cause it got discontinued? xP mazdaspeed cars only come in like 2 to 2 1/2 yr life spans(last yr was '07?). too bad they dont still have it but a new mazdaspeed6 is already on the horizon from what press releases are saying. <-dont quote me on that..haha

Oh, okay too bad the website doesn't even list 07MS6s at avilable dealerships. I wonder what they're gonna change on the new 2009 MS6??

Man, I'll see what can be done, MazdaUSA Website via KellyBlue Book said I could get $12,050 for my MSP. But I can also part-out so I'll get some more money. Seeing I'm in college I think it may be difficult...Just have to wait a while and see.
 
What? What does translate to in what one would be paying? 23k? I know there are still a couple left around here. What kind of deals do you guys think one could get these days?

But even better is that I got it for invoice plus the $4,000 off. Which pretty much covered what I owed on my Subie and what they gave me for trade. So if you want to look at it this way I got the car for a savings of $6,162, based on a purchase at MSRP.

I ended up paying about 20k for mine, although the sticker was $29,195. S-plan took it down to 27,155, then $4000 off, then down payment took it down to 20,155. Not bad at all.
 
MS6Mike was the one on the video against the Evo.

I'm 20, mike is 20.

Thanks guys! I'm normally a coupe kind of guy. But the lines of the MS6 are really nice. And if I could score one for less and MS3 I'd probably jump on it!

thats a highly debated thought that there will be an 09 MS6. more than likely, there will NOT be one.
 

i have seen those pics, but based on every other Mazdaspeed vehicle that has come out, this will probably not make it to production until 2011 at the earliest. they have never come out in the first year of a new model/redesign. Also, the MS6 was such a horrible flop sales wise for Mazda, it would shock me to see it hit the US market anyway.

I agree and it surprised me as to how poor the sales are on the MS6, but the MS3 seems to be selling quite well. I know the MS3 is faster, but its FWD, nothing wrong with that AT ALL and seems to be better on road courses than the MS6, but the MS6 seems more practical to me. Maybe its because I now live in an area that gets a good deal of snow, but even when I lived in GA i would much rather have the MS6. I dont know what the problem with the MS6 was... Great cars though.

It was probably due to Mazda barely advertising the car.

the problem with the ms6 is that it was priced at the same level as entry level 3-series BMWs, and marketed very similarly. most people that are spending that kind of money would go for the status symbol of the BMW. personally, I love my car and its a perfect fit for me. a little more grown up, very refined, and still fast :)

oh, and the MS3 runs a 14.2 quarter, where the MS6 runs a 14.0 (approximate of course, ymmv) but yes, the MS3 destroys MS6s in road course, autox, etc
 
Anyone remember the first gen concept of the Mazdaspeed 6, the one with the 7 spoke wheels? I think it ended up being made from accessory parts, like the MS RX-8 stuff.
