Illinois Ms3's

Where was that? I saw a guy yesterday working hard to catch up to me just to ask me "what have you done to it?" This was in the Oak Brook area.

I had that problem once; it turned out to be a Geo Metro...

I've seen a Ture Red in my subdivision for about a month now. Also was behind a Cosmic Blue one on 30 going west from Montgomery towards Orchard Rd, plates said KnightK or something like that.

Left 2 messages with dealers this AM for a white MS3. . .hopefully soon I'll have one.

Got some Q?s
I got a 03 slow5 I'm considering trading in for msp3 used
Is the auto trans
As bad and weak as mine or should I just go with manual?
What's a good price range for a used one with like 20 to 30 thousand miles?
I'm starting to regret getting the p5 its very limited to its performance with an auto

 

[Captain KRM P5]

no mazdaspeed3 has an automatic transmission, so that eliminates that consideration right there

as for regular 3s if you meant that, the automatic transmission is the same basic guts internally as the protege, the 2.3 mazda6 and the focus FN4AL transmission. its probably a bit better on the newer stuff than what it was on the protege, but still nothing special.

don't expect much of a deal on a used mazdaspeed3 yet. mazdaspeed6s can be had for cheap if you look hard. autobarn countryside was literally dumping thier entire stock of leftovers a month or so back. if you are looking at used mazda3s, 04s and 05s should be pretty inexpensive right now, but with lower miles like what you had listed that makes it tougher.

Hey ken I ordered an header from ya a while back I love the body style of the p5 but want the power of the msp3 I got the 03 p5 with 35k miles for 12k a year and half ago now its got 62k miles I want a msp as a base to upgrade from should of done resurch on p5 before I bought it want to consider trading before my p5 gets less in value

 

[Captain KRM P5]

buddy of mine is selling his mazdaspeed protege for about $9000 right now, lmk if you want me to call him up on it

 

[acasper708]

The more I think about it the speed6 is sounding nice I'm interested in something newer with good stock power level to upgrade from

Nice car! You didn't by chance take delivery of it last night from pugi mazda did you? If so make sure you come back the first three oil changes are free. I'd sell my msp for 13k as it sits if anyone is intrested.

 

[Captain KRM P5]

everyone is jumping ship to the ms3, eh?

I'm going to be ordering the oil filter kit from PG soon, so hopefully they'll be able to work with that.
