[crystalmeth3]

any mazda sales person out there... i want a white speed3 for me here in penna., USA. what do i have to do. what kind of costs are there? what is the difference between usa sport and can. sport? also, i get a discount on mazdas thru my job, i would pay $500 over invoice, does this still apply for canada ms3. i would prefer to go to cananda and get the car my self instead of having it drivin 600 miles to my area. any help is appreciated.

You may want to consider looking at the following before you consider importing from canada! http://www.foreignborn.com/visas_imm/entering_us/7importingyourcar.htm

Cars are kind of a rip-off in canada right now because our dollar is pretty close to USD but cars are still priced way higher. A cdn ms3 goes for about $32,000 and only comes in one trim level, basically a GT with cloth seats and no nav (I hate leather and nav so I'm pretty happy with this). It makes more sense for you to find one in-country.

Too bad the CPW arent available in the US. I totally agree, buying a car in CAN is a TOTAL RIP. I live in toronto and I'm seriously considering just buying a plane tix to NY or any other state that sells and drive it back myself. Especially living in Ontario where the tax is 14% OMG...I suggest if you do fly to CAN, go to Edmonton or somewhere other than Ontario.

However, if you're really set to buy a CPW, I do know a dealer in toronto that has one right now. I've driven around to many and finally found one. Send me a PM if you're interested. I'm not a mazda salesman though. Good luck on your hunt!

i am a mazda sales person, and i tried to get a white pearl one also. my district mazda sales manager called on corporate to see if it was possible. it wasn't. if you really want to do it, have it painted, but if you go that way do it right. just say no to maaco. spend a few grand on a real paint job.

thanks for all the input guys. looks like i will have to settle for one of the colors (colours,haha) in the states. The black looks good but i own a mazda now and i know the paint is crap. in a year it will be so chipped to primer from winter driving and i know it will look bad, plus i am too busy to clean a black car every week. i vowed to myself a long time ago that i would never get silver cause i always thought the same car would look better in a different color. the red is too orange to me and the blue is too minivan to me. I KNOW I AM PICKY, SORRY TO BE SO WHINY. I ll go with silver, and gunmetal the factory wheels, and tint the windows. damn, those white ones looked good.
p.s. i dont mean to bash the other colors, dont take me seriously, my opinion doesnt matter... i like you guys.

Yah man, the white is soooooooooo sweet........

I didn't realize you can't get white in the US. After owning a white car for 4.5 years I can tell you it's a super PITA to keep clean (esp. in winter!), every tiny speck of crap would stand out and after a rainstorm the car would look like hell. It did look pretty sweet when it was clean, though.

White > * ... they look so clean and sparkly and its even better when its sunny outside.

but as mentioned before ... exchange rate is ****** right now. MS3 is 32k right now and with US and CDN $ almost on par, you would lose alot of money

Cheaper to buy a US one and get it painted.

They go in Calgary for about $28,500 CAD...

 

[Metal MP5]

bahhh WTH lol they are still 31999 here or something like that

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Maybe they're not GT's?

 

[condor888000]

Only one trim for the MS3. And isn't MSRP $30995?

 

[Metal MP5]

yes sorry, its 31 not 32 (30,995)
