Purchasing NEW 08' MS3

[Smokin08]

Hey guys!

I just wanted to introduce myself and ask a few questions. I'm 25, got my undergraduate degree from Univ of TENN in Mathematics, and my master's from Auburn University (AL) in Mechanical Engineering. I've been an avid offroad and mustang enthusiast for years now, and have since decided to purchase a new MS3 for fuel economy and, they are a blast to drive.

I was wondering, can you get a MazdaSpeed3 in Silver? I know you can build one online in Gray, but i like the silver. Thanks for the help. You all have some nice looking rides too!

Welcome! Glad to see you've converted away from mustangs!

you can definately get them in silver, but actually finding one may be a challenge. with only 5000 total (all colors included) coming to the country each year it may be a challenge, but they do exist.

I was under the impression they quit doing the silver's as of the 08.5 models. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are not wrong. The 08.5 only comes in True Red, Black Mica, Crystal White Pearl and Metropolitan Gray Mica. If he wants silver, he'll have to see if he can find a leftover '08 on a lot someplace or a used '07 or '08.

There is a Silver at the Ferndale Mazda dealer in Michigan right now. Been there untouched for several months now along with a black one. You can get one if your dealership will look hard enough for you.

I was gonna get a Sunlight Silver one to match my silver Ram. I got my Crystal White Pearl instead and I love the color. I like the benefits of the '08 1/2, too. To answer your question, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one. Are you from the Auburn/Montgomery area? You may be able to get one in Montgomery or Birmingham. Heck, you're not too far from Atlanta, either.
