Looking for a new MSP?

[msubullyfan]

Hey, guys!

I've seen a few threads about people looking for MSPs. I was at a dealer here in Baton Rouge (Diamond Mazda -- http://www.diamondmazda.com) today, and they still have 5 new MSP's on the lot. They have two sunlight silver, two yellow, and one black mica.

I asked the sales manager about them and mentioned that I had seen people on this site looking for them, and he told me to relay that he was really trying to unload them and would make a great offer to anyone and was willing to make delivery arrangements.

I don't have a history from that dealership (I didn't even buy my P5 there), but I just thought I'd pass this info along.

Damit, I would have given my left nut for a black one....OK maybe not really my left nut, but something like that

Sorry, but he didn't mention anything about accepting testicles for trade-in... However, I must admit that I didn't ask. I guess anything is negotiable.

I guess it depends on how desperate the dealer is to unload them...

 

[yau]

you know about the prices?

Unloading and testicles. Grade A thread. (thumb)

 

[msubullyfan]

you know about the prices?

No, he didn't get into specifics. But, I could tell that he really wanted to get them off the lot (probably because he's getting pressured for ordering so many).

I could check with them and ask for their "best price" if a couple of people are interested.

Let me know...

I'd be interested in that black one, though realistically this'll be a logistics nightmare to sell my Protege and get an MSP in Louisiana.

yeah, If you don't mind, please ask how much they are going for, I'll take the trip down there.

Update:

I spoke with the Sales Manager this morning. He said that for any of the 5 vehicles (two sunlight silver, two yellow, and one black mica), he'd sell them for $16.5k out the door including destination. If you live outside of LA, you don't have to pay LA sales tax on the vehicle (9%!) -- you'd pay it when you register it in your state.

If any of you guys buy one from him, please let me know! He said he'd give me some credit for each one that I referred to him towards a Mazda6 that I'm looking at for my wife. Just tell him when you talk to him that Robert Breedlove told you about this on Mazda Forums. I would really appreciate it.

If you're interested in calling him directly, call Richard Andre at Diamond Mazda. Their phone number is (225) 295-3900.

Good luck to all of you. If anyone gets one, I'm glad I could help out!

By the way -- I think there's a good chance you could talk him down from the $16.5k. He said they'd already had to write off the cars, so they're really looking to get rid of them.

 

[mazpro]

thanks a LOT, i will give him a call and tell him about you so you can get your wife the mazda 6.

He must be very popular or not particularly organized. His voicemail was full, but I left a message with the receptionist. I'd really like that black MSP, but I'm not holding my breath on making this work if distance is too big a b****.

Yeah, I don't blame you. If it were me, they'd have to make it worth my while to drive/fly a long way to do the deal or pay a few hundred bucks to have the car shipped.

Good luck.

yeah but that's the only option for me, because there are no new MSP's left in florida and i don't want to buy a used car cause we know what be do to the cars

Did he ever get back to you, Kain? I'd really be interested to see if he came down of the $16.5k number he gave me over the phone.

Thanks!

 

[Kain]

He left me a voicemail around 5:30pm EST. I haven't had a chance to call him back yet. I will tomorrow.

Damn.... This sounds good. Schools out in 3 weeks and I should find out if I can get a MSP or not. I got family in LA that I havnt seen in a long time.... Road trip!

 

[msubullyfan]

Hope you guys get a good deal and it works out. I could use the money for a 6 for my wife (5-door or wagon -- can't decide which). I'm jealous -- I want one of the silver ones BAAAAAAAD, but a MSP just doesn't fit what I need.

I think it's going to be a real classic someday!

 

[Jhova1012]

Im sure the P5 will too. Yeah the Silvers are really nice, so are the blacks. And so are the blues, yellows, and titaniums. Screw orange. (upyours)
