dang, i couldn't post for thelongest time do to a faulty registration..

ANYhow..
i put down a deposit for a MS-P as well and just waiting to find
out the pricing for it. IF it is indeed $25,500 CAD that is an
absolute steal =D

I do have deposit down for a spec-v on order; however, if the ms-p ends up being TOO high, then i can fall back on my spec-v order

WORD FROM CALLAWAY!!

I posed some direct questions to Callaway (based upon the article in carconnection.com), and received the following.

"Actually the turbo's are being installed at the ports (including Port Vancouver) not here in CT. Production will begin late Sept. and run through mid Nov.

Certification is being done by MNAO."

Certification is in regards to meeting gov't regs in both Canada and the U.S. If they release in batches, they'll probably make it in the showrooms starting early to mid October.

well, we know the cars have made it to port since a person spotted a lot of them at port. And i'm sure they're working on modifying them at the moment. So in my view, i was expecting around end of sept, to early october. One dealer said they do have them in port and are working on them like 2/3 weeks ago..
but then that's a dealer.. lol

 

[slug420]

well, im back on the list, placed a deposit for a mazdasped again, this time for MSRP, not 1000 over. And I stopped by callaway last week (I live in CT) and they told me the same thing about work being done in the ports. They have a black prototype at their office but it wasnt there the day I stopped by. They said I might tno be allowed to see it anyways since theirs is only a prototype and not a production model.........

Hey guys!..

This list seems to be flooded!... i like it!..
everyone who has ordered a MS-P has made a good choice!

MMMatHeart
Where abouts do you live in toronto?...
I was hoping to get all Torontonians who will be getting a MS-P to come out for a meet or something...It would be pretty cool to see about 3-5 MS-P all orange, might i add, to cruise/park/photoshoots.


I'm also first on the waiting list at durham Mazda...
I've had my ordered for 3 months now...it's beeen insanely long..
i hope to take delivery the 4th week of september of sometime in October too...
Price will NOT be in the $30'sK...that's for sure...
i don't think many people will buy it at that price..
at $30k+ i think you can totally get a different class car.
Keep in mind, this is just a 'protege'.

Hi Limited Ed.

I live around around the Yorkdale area. Being 3rd in line at Erin Mills may place me into November delivery. However, actually seeing a snapshot of the cars in Van (see Ta Da thread), makes me a little more optimistic about earlier delivery.

Good idea about an MSP gathering of the clan.

BTW, the dealers now have a one pager glossy on the MSP. It has nothing new, but you get an actual 8.5x11 pic of the car on official literature memorabilia. Your sales guy should have one reserved for you. It is printed in Canada and says that the car will be out for a limited time starting Oct.

Several people have been talking about a second run. Have you heard anything re: Canada?

 

[Limited Edition]

hey MMMatHeart

Ohh...i drive by Yorkdale Mall everyday to get to school...
is that the Yorkdale you are referring too??

Yeah i saw the thread with the Snap Shoots of the MSP at the Vancouver Docks...I really have a good feeling that we will get our cars early October or maybe even the last week of this month!...There's NO way we will get our cars in November..usually when you order a car for '03 you should get it at least 3 months before the year ends...I think if they set there delivery date in November then some people might change their mind about the MS-P since there will be newer and better cars rolling out soon.

Yeah i got that 8.5" X 11" glossy photo and specs sheet from the dealership that is in fine printed in that 'handout' (don't know what else to call it) about a month ago.

a second run at this car?...i really doubt it!
I've ever heard from someone on this board that if they do come out it will be green or red colour?...weirdo.
How long has this generation protege been out? almost 4 years?..i think it's due for a new design...
this is just my own opinion...

Btw, is there anyone else that you know of, on this board that is also from Toronto that is getting a MAZDASPEED Protege?

 

[MSpeed]

add me to the list
i just put money down on mine last week. now both at my dealership are taken. im kinda worried though cause i keep on hearing different prices, my dealer said that it shoud be around $24,800. id guess maybe a lil higher but no more that $25,500 since the MP3 was $18,700 US and came out to $23,800 CDN, that would make the MSP's price of $20,000 US somewhere around the low $25,000's CDN??? right

but neways, if anyone has any solid info then please share

Mspeed..

Welcome aboard!

good to see another fellow waiting for delivery..
you've made a good choice!.

where in Ontario do you live in?.Toronto?..

MMMatHeart and I are trying to get a few owners to meet up when we all get our cars....
i think it would be pretty cool to see around 3-5 MS-P parked together, for a photoshoot or something...

Tell me what you think of this idea....

 

[MSpeed]

hey thanks dude
im in guelph... not too bad, about 45 mins away in a regular car and 30 in the protege

but hell yea, of course im up for a meet, youll just have to give me a few days to pimp around in it and then im set. just say when and where

 

[MSpeed]

oh, and does jason own this forum like rx7forum and protegeclub?

 

[Antoine]

Welcome MSpeed...you came to the right place...we have tons of MSP info and much more to come.

oh, and does jason own this forum like rx7forum and protegeclub?

I will gladly answer your question:

Oh right Jason...is that the pclub owner who never visits his own site?

No... "Jason" has less than nothing to do with this site.

Congrats on the order and Enjoy the site!

 

[MSpeed]

thanks alot antoine
this is an awesome forum and i look forward to hangin out here more often. but ya, thats the guy... coming from owning an rx7 i can honestly say that i do not like the way he conducts business and treats his customers. i had been a member for over a year and after getting into an argument with him because of poor service he bans me from the forum and says that i do not have anything to contribute. what a moron... neways, i strongly urge people to not purchase any products from him... aka rx7store.net and advancedimports.com

sorry about the long rant but he's a jackass, i also spent over 8K US with him too >=(

 

[TurboP]

You can put me down for a MSP too. I got one set aside from my dealer come mid October. No deposit needed. However, one thing puzzles me about what they told me. They will get 4 in mid October (one of wich is MINE!!!) and 4 more come MARCH (second wave?)(scratch)

 

[enry]

oh, and does jason own this forum like rx7forum and protegeclub?

Amusing.... Quite amusing. Made my evening.

 

[MSpeed]

lol, sorry enry but i wasnt sure. after seeing protegeclub and finding out that advancedimports and rx7store were the same i almost lost all my interest in mazdas

im glad to know that this place isnt owned by that sort of person/people

Hi there, I just found out about this forum and I see MANY excited people awaiting their MSP. I put my deposit down April 20th 2002 at a Toronto Dealership once I heard the news about the release of the MSP from canadiandriver.com
Oh ya my user name is the licence plate for the MSP to come.
Add me to the list.
