I get that everyday....people don't know what the MSP is. My Garbage guy asked me what kinda car I had on my drive way. Hes like "Man thats a sharpe lookin Mazda! Does it have a rotary in it?" Mazda did a poor job marketing our cars. Some people still think my car is a EVO....can't they see the Mazda emblem on the grill?
I admit I never would have considered the MSP if it wasnt for my friend who drove a MSP. My first impression was it only makes 170hp turboed? The ads never mentioned about the awsome suspension/handeling (I may be wrong). Then I went to the dealer (alone) and test drove it...and loved it! Plus it was Mazda's "Test the Best" rebate.
Oh another problem is that apparently some of my friends tried to test drive a MSP and the dealers wouldn't let them. Think of all the potential buyers that were turned away.

Yup, Bob Baker gives good cash in trade in's. Thats where I was getting my WRX for $21500!!!!!!!!! They were going to give me $9500 on my 46000 mile P5. I owe about $12000, so I think that not to bad. Unfortunately, the deal didn't go through

Where the hell are you guys finding MSP's for 15-16K????? Is this the new 3.5 style or the older style? s*** I basically paid that much for my 03 LX!!!
guys keep in mind what a dealer offers you means nothing. us dealers had a way of making people happy with their trade. for example, say your trade is only worth 10k but you say you want 12k for it, and we have 3k dollars to work with in the car youre buying. what we would do is say we knocked the car down 1k (which makes you happy) and give you 12k for your trade, when in reality we gave you 10 for your trade and knocked off 3k for the car. it all depends on the customer. a good salesman will realize what is important to his/her customer, and make them happy in that way.. for example, i may notice that the customer is concerned not so much about payments, but interest rate, or another may be concerned about payments or total price of vehicle, and another may be really interested in what they get for their trade. some customers make such a big deal about their trade, we couldve hosed them on the car but as long as they got what they wanted for the trade they were happy. so dont say what they "gave" you or quoted you until you see it on the FINAL paperwork. look closely, and see how often they do that.

well that blows for me
I just called one of my local dealers and asked them what I could get for trade-in for my ride on an RX8. I made up some story about making the wrong choice, I love the RX8, blah blah I made the wrong decision.
They were nice and she said she'd investigate.
She called back and said the problem with trading in is there's no book price yet. No KBB or Nada price so they don't even know how to price it. She said, they're expecting to see it in there sometime this month and they pretty much use that as their guide.
Now, edmunds TMV has 2003 MSP's at $16,100 (plus $500 for condition adjustment, and $500 for my mileage adjustment (only 2500 miles), meaning a trade-in of $17,100. She said they don't use Edmunds as a guide, but hopefully Nada and KBB will be around that price.
Anyways, just a FYI for people.
PS - She then told me I'd be better of trading in on a Mazda 6 then a RX8 because they still have 03 6's with massive rebates, so some of that could cover any negative equity if there is any.
