24k miles, looks like it doesn't have a scratch on it

Your thoughts? Has anyone seen one in this kind of condition?

If it was titanium I might have actually thought about buying it (drunk)

sounds like someone bought it, and then it got parked in a garage for 5 years. I won't lie, I'm lusting for this one right now.

That does look mint. Doesnt even look like its ever been modded, there are very few of unmolested Msp's left. But the price is still too high.

Thats the price I bought my msp for 5 years ago. 34k bone stock. That was even before the ms6, or ms3 came out, and the msp was pretty much still a big dog on mazdas block. Just saying you can definitely find a better car for the money.

2K premium over kbb for an enthusiast car known to be modified, with super low miles, low production numbers and very well taken care of is not crazy. Contrary to believe, KBB is not the end-all. $13 out the door if that's what you want (which is usually what you can haggle out of carmax) sounds good. 2K on a 4 year loan is *almost* $40 i think?

ehh.. I would agree.

pretty clean ride, hell it even still has the little elbow on the stock airbox. don't see that very often

^ I have the elbow in a box in my shed. You want? Lol

 

[SCMP3]

I was gonna say I still have mine. Lol

Well...I went to have lunch with my folks who live in the area this morning, and stopped by Carmax to see if I could take it out for a spin. It has already been sold...was sold last night to a guy in Ft. Lauderdale. This car was absolutely impeccable, didn't have a scratch on it, paint was perfect, the interior was mint, and the wheels didn't have a scratch on them. I'd actually argue that it was worth the $13k.

Hope whoever bought it enjoys it!!!

It's a false ad. If you read the carfax report, it says they sold it in Dec 2010. Guess they put a new one up by mistake. I e-mailed them and they said the car was sold.

That is one of the cleanest i've seen and I wouldn't pay more than 10k for it, even if it wasn't yellow.

What's a shame is whoever traded that in probably got about 6k, if that.
