I've Ordered My MAZDASPEED Protege today!
- Thread starter Limited Edition
- Start date
I've put my deposit down at a local dealer here in NC, They told me that only mazdaspeed dealers will sell these MSP's. I've called all the mazda dealers in my area and 1 out of the 5 said they will be a mazdaspeed dealer. Anyways...just thought I would share....Can't wait for that phone call sayin my MSP has arrived...congrats to the others who have put the money down on theirs.
Re: hello janan
We had a meeting last month with a Mazda representative at the Mazda regional HQ in Mtl, and he annouced to us that the MSRP for the MSP would be 27 995$ or very close to that.

You can add me to the list. I'm a Torontonian, but like Almzkid, bought at Erin Mills. BTW, I'm #3 on their list.
Talked to Mazda Canada Cust. Rel'ns and they still cannot give a delivery date. They did say that the 03 Regular Proteges are coming in mid-Sept (started manufacturing in July). Given that they need to be mod. in the US, count on another month.
Also, they have no prices, but say that the upper limit is $30k CAD.

Ditto. I was quoted originally from Burlington and Erin Mills $24-25k. Those, I doubt. I think that $27K is reasonable ($3k for turbo and upgrades), and therefore Raptor's # is likely. $30 puts it into the big dogs' pound (Type S and Recaro GTI ), and that is more than I want to spend.

I was just informed by the Mazda salesman who put me on the list that the original release date (which he claimed to be Sept 1st) gonna be pushed to Oct. 1st. He said they are going to make it an official release date so I assume what that means is when all Mazdaspeed dealers got their cars they'll roll out the release together... so I guess we who live in Vancouver don't get any advantages by living near the port this time

I asked the dealer if he had a list for the MS-P and he said no. I told him to get out a pen and paper and make one. I ordered an orange one. He didn't make me put down a deposit because I know the owner and I am president of the local Miata club and do a lot of promote their dealership.

well, as irate as I am about it, you can take me OFF THE LIST of ppl. I went into my dealer told him I have talked to other dealers in the area and no one else is charging over MSRP, and that there will be a second run of these cars in the spring so they arent even as limited as he leads me to believe, and i said that I had decided not to pay over MSRP and he says "ok, lemme go cancel your order"
what a prick. I tried to talk with him for a minute about it and he was zero tolerance not moving an inch on the price. I said well I would like to keep my business with you but I dont like the idea of getting jerked around, and thats what you are doin to me if I am paying more for a car than anyone else for no reason. and he says "there is a reason, I have more buyers than I do cars" NICE.......REAL NICE........good to see a dealer lookin out for their customers........E@#I$E@#R@*(.........so now I need to find another mazdaspeed franchise in my area (the ones I called that I know are not charging over MSRP are a cple hours away, super inconvenient)
and one that BETTER STILL HAVE AN ORANGE MS-P LEFT GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
