hey guys, well im about to goto dealer today to try to pick up a Laser Blue MSP, but I've been reading a lot of posts since yestorday.. just a quick question what does FS stand for because I see it a lot and i can't seem to figure that one out... thanks in advance

welcome, they are either talking about "for sale" or the FS-DE motor. they are most likely talking about "For Sale" seeing as there is a for sale section.

FS-DE is the code for the motor in the MSP and the 3rd gen proteges in general.

Bring a list of APR calculations with you. Tell them what you will pay total for the car, how many months and for what APR. Know the monthly payments based on that and don't budge. Don't let them play the payment game. If you do they have about 30 ways to screw you. Pay attention to all aspects: Total price, trade in value, apr, and loan term.

Good luck(yes)

thanks a lot... well I think I want to get the Sunlight silver it looks pretty nice.... they said like out the door price will be 20500 think thats too high? or whatcha guys think? i live in So. Cal

 

[jersey_emt]

Seems too high..I paid much less than that 6 months ago even when it was a current model...and prices for cars on average are pretty high around here.

 

[NaSh123]

any So cal people with reasoning for the pricing?
also they said that only 1700 were made of the mazdaspeed is it that? or 1750 i heard it was 1750

 

[spacemonkey]

Yeah its limited production but I dont see why its that high...especially since they are trying to get rid of 2003 models. That price seems right, most of us bough it when they had $3000 rebate. But there should be no reason why the speed should still be around 20K. Maybe because it was sunlight silver. Just look around. and try to talk them down. Check Mazda's website for any rebate and incentives.

 

[jersey_emt]

Oh yeah I forgot about the rebates being expired and all.

I would definately get the Sunlight Silver . I have one... love it. I paid 17k for mine.

I paid $18000 out the door for mine. Im sure they can bring the price down cause they need to get rid of them. By the way I would go with the lazer blue. There are way too many silvers and titaniums down by where I live

with 18 your including tax and registration and everything? also hows your injen intake becuase i want to get one FOR SURE when i get the msp like is the spool up much louder can you hear some type of blow off or whatever....i wanted laser blue there were only 2 within 150 miles of me but my dads like getttttttttttttt outta here lol so the silver looks pretty nice there is only 1 msp within like 25 miles of where i live lol and its a yellow one so i'll be the only silver

 

[mspeed101]

Yea it was 18000 with everything. The Injen is awesome the blow off is 50 times louder and I can feel a hp difference as well. If you go to Adventon I think its somewhere around 200 I forget

 

[jersey_emt]

No, adventon raised their prices recently

im in the glendale burbank area not to far from you so you think 20500 out the door is good? with tax registration n stuff? or should i haggle for a cheaper price

i saw it somewhere for 210 if im not wrong but gotta get the car before i can order the intake and i read it adds 11 WHP and about 5 Torque to wheels so if you can feel the difference then im sure its somewhere around there...dam lucky lol 18 with everything what area you @?

 

[mspeed101]

I would see if you can go a little bit cheaper but if not go for it! I love my msp.
