How long will the P5 community remain strong?

When I bought my P5, I orginally looked at a 2003 yellow auto (34k miles I believe) at a local mazda dealer. The day before I looked at it, it had sold. It spent only a week and a half on the lot. I also looked at another one, but it was a 2002 blue with 35k miles with no options, and overpriced by about 3k. Family members had a bad experience with them once, so it was a no-go. I believe it is still there. The one I bought had been on the lot for a little while, since they hadn't advertised it much, and so I bought it for a great deal at the end of the year.

As a new member to the P5 community, I will help to bolster your numbers! Anyways, if everything goes according to plan, in about four years I'l get a new daily driver, and plop a turbo/supercharger in my P5, do an auto to manual switch, and have a little fun on the weekends!
 
I don't really care if the aftermarket companies stop making parts for the P5. I just love her, I will never leave her if possible.
 
In my best smalls voice "For Ev Er". I think the p5 community will go on for a while. And for the past few months I have been seeing alot of new people registering on the forum. I Like how alot of people give me compliments on my car and say it looks good, and how they didn't think a wagon could look so good.
 
Well I'm a living example, just got mine 4 months ago cuz of you guys and my bodies are tracking thier own now... gotta love her.

(P.S. My wife doesn't like her at all...lol, redlobster turned in to "I need something for my P5"...We'll have to re schedule for next week)
 
When they ALL start reaching 200k miles .... then interest will die down slightly.

btw, i think about the P5 in the shower too ...it's O.K.
 
Nah, when they start reaching 200K, people will just get more creative with em, lol. We'll see more v-8 proteges out there :)

And at least it doesn't break down on a weekly basis (referring to the talon). (thumb)

Actually my talon is rock solid car when it comes to reliability, never had it let me sit yet. I can drive it thru the snow, take it to the track and run 12.80's and drive it home.

I love my P5 so damn much, I'm keepin it till it croaks. If the aftermarket for it dies, I'll just start making my own s***!
(werd)
 
I've never owned a car as long as I've owned my P5 - and I don't expect to see her go anytime soon. In fact, I'm keeping my eyes open for an older Mazda to use as a winter beater and save the beast for summer only, that's how much I love her! :)
 
i dont think the market is going away anytime soon. most p5 drivers are very satisfied with there car ok maybe not power wise all the time but definatly comfort, look, handling etc. i plan on keeping them both for a long time
 
I don't think u have to worry abt being alone in THIS club...
