MSP come standard with tinted windows?

Hopefully your equity loan has a smaller interest rate than what MazdaUSA is currently offering: 5% or less (depends on your credit rating). Otherwise, I don't think they'll budge with the MSRP tag. Good luck.

Ahh, but the interest on the equity line would be tax deductible...

yeh, jasonh is right. i don't think all of it is tax deductable but some or most of it is. i think the only way to get 5% is if you have near perfect credit. realistically, i'd say the best rate a person with decent credit could get is 7%.

personally, i think financing through a dealership should be your last resort. i'd go through either an e-loan or try my bank first before i'd even think about going through the dealer. it's just one of the ways dealers can fool you, making you think like you're getting a low rate and then add on fees someplace else so that they still make money.

my mom was trying to lease a 2000 toyota corolla (ve model), which ended up being around 16k, i think (when it should have been around 13k). they made her put 1500 down, 60 month lease paying 250 a month. then you gotta add the residual which i don't even know what it was. but you get the picture. major scam right there. i went with her the next day to cancel the lease.

i don't know. i try to be careful with salespeople. that's why i am dealing through the fleet manager. they always seem straight forward with you.

Krillin,
fortunately, my credit rating is excellent. I anticipate a 5% auto loan thru Mazda. I see your point otherwise. Phoung/Nick has been straightforward and assures me that it's not a problem, since they have my paperwork on my July credit rating when I purchased the P5 at Irvine, Mazda.

Have you guys heard anything new from Greg or Phong lately? I haven't bothered to call or email yet. Hopefully we'll see something in the next week or 2. Also, who's first and who's second in line?

spoke with Phoung on the 5th without any new info other than his assurance that "you'll probably be getting one, since there's [reportedly] only been a few deposits put down for the msp.." He claimed that a new shipment of cars comes every 1-2 weeks and they just received one on the 29th of November. He's pushing the Mazda6, which is already on the salesfloors. As far as "who's on 1st and what's on 2nd" - Colin put his deposit down 1st, then me, allegedly another for an orange model, then you. I don't know what to believe anymore. Like Sir Nuke asserts: "I'll believe it when I see it" (my apologies for any mis-paraphrasing, Sir N)
