In Austin they are selling Mazdaspeed's for $15,999+TT&L
To bad I'm not buying one anymore. So if you know anyone that's looking for one let them know. Just trying to help out other people!!!!!
The dealers aren't scared this is what happens to all cars that are at the end of the product line. They stand to lose money if they have cars just sitting on the lot so they have fresh inventory.
no...... that's like saying a 255hp mustang is better than a 255hp rx7. 170hp at 6500 RPM on a turbo and an n/a is the exact same at 6500rpm..... only thing is that in those lower RPM's and lower gears the turbo is going to smoke the non turbo. Don't know how many times i've pulled up to a mustang with a lot more HP than my RX7 and I've completely obliterated them... all thanks to having a turbo.
suspension is cheaper and easier to mod? No. Acquiring the handling of an MSP on a normal Protege or a Mazda 3 will be neither cheaper nor easier.
and coming from mazda and their recent horsepower estimates 170hp means 120hp at the wheels.
Mazda3's are not designed to compete with the MSP....
the MSP's are on sell in some areas because some areas have backstocks of the less desireable colors....... up here in STL the new Blue ones and the 2003 Black ones still sell for 20,050
yes i'm hoping 15K is where they will be at. i plan to pick one up this summer... it just depends on how much money i can save while at school, and make during breaks. i'm praying for T-25's!
