should i buy an mp3????

ive been readin up on mp3's for a while now and i REALLY want one. im 16 so itll be my first car. all the reviews ive read said theyre great and fun cars but i just wanted to know what u all think about it for a first car. also how safe is it? (mom only wants me to get a civic cuz she knows theyre safe)
thanks a lot
 
I think they should be just as safe as a civic....better suspension and bigger wheels mean youll have better traction on turns....I'd buy it...how many hundreds of people in your neighbourhood have a civic or a eclipse? There wont be that many MP3's in your area....limited edition means youre car will be gawked at...trust me, i love that my car is always looked at!
 
Sorry dopeman but they aren't making the mp3 ever again....Unless you have seen one at your local dealership recently.....They only made 1500, 500 yellow and a 1000 blue....If you did see it you better get it soon because it wont be there too much longer.....From what i have been told there isn't any for sale unless it is used.....
 
what do yOU guys think, SHOULD WE LET THE DUDE GET A MP3?

WILL YOU PROMISE TO TAKE GREAT CARE OF HER?
DO YOU PROMIS TO CHERIS AND KEEP HER,
THOU SICK TIMES AND IN GOOD?

JUST A JOKE DOPEMAN286! GO FOR IT
YOU'LL LOVE HER. WAIT TILL THE TAIL PIPE COOLS DOWN BEFORE YOU GO AND .... YA KNOW
THATS HOW MUCH YOU WILL LOVE THIS CAR
 
theres one on ebay im lookin at with 104 miles on it. vivid yellow and im still the high bidder. woo hoo!
the thing my parents have a problem with is that the car's a little pricey. but even though its pricey, i promised them id pay them back and id pay for my step dad a plane ticket to minnesota to pick it up. i want this car more than my parents can understand.

LOL! :D
Go for it. IF your funds are tight, then it shouldn't be a problem. If you win the bid, welcome to the organization.
 
Minnesota??? who is selling one in MN? I thought i was the only one in MN that had a yellow one... BUY IT THEN I WILL BE MUHAHAHAH! maybe...

nah dude seriously you will be totaly happy with the car... you can not compare to the civic and if this is going to bve your first car, at 16 you are one lucky bastard..
 
Hey dopeman286,
Just to let you know there is a Mazda dealer where I live that surprisingly still has 2 brand new yellow MP3s in stock. One of them has a sunroof too. The thing is that they are bastards and want about $24,600 before tax! :eek: :eek:
Anyway, here is their website:Almaden Mazda
Hope it helps.
 
well i talked to my parents and they wont loan me that much money. i can only get about $13-14,000 car which is still great im not complainin. even after i tried explaining to them that after all i will put into my car with buyin ground effects, a system, exhaust, all that other great stuff, it would be a better idea to just get the mp3 that comes with all that. but then they said id just crash it anyways. but this doesnt mean im giving up. oh yes i will keep trying. ive set my mind to gettin this car and if i gotta think of some get rich quick scam i will. lol no im not that crazy ill just keep beggin!
 
well im 16 and i have an mp3 :D , just do what i did, beg your parents for money, and go and get a job to show that your willing to pay for a large chunk of it. it worked for me, hopefully it will work for you.
 
Not another civic...you know your parents best...keep trying...be creative...work out a deal...think!

Good Luck... :cool:
 
dang, im i just did a search in autotrader for those prices and some are good bargains, some are just ppl trying to rpi somebody off. Ill be selling mine in the 16k or the 16.5k range. mine has almost around 14k and a missing wheel center cap.
 
I wish I could afford a car like the MP3 when I was 16. I had an old Chevy S-10. I loved that truck. $4,000. And I had to pay for it, not my parents. Just make sure you appreciate it if you get an MP3.
 
Take whatever you can get...I didn't get a car till I was a soph. in college, and it was a 5 yr old nissan sentra...I actually liked having a POS car when I was in school, because i could F it up and not really worry too much a bout it... Now I practically have an ulcer from worrying about someone messing up my car...and I'm out of school and don't have to park around idiots and jackasses...
buy a used beater and enjoy it when you're young...you'll have plenty of time to pick up a nicer car when you get older...
(thought to myself...am I really that old...s***) :)
 
Tell your parents it is worth it because they are limited....You will get your money back in the end.....The car will hold its value because only 1500 were made....Just like type R integra have held their value because they are so rare....Tell them the car only has a 140 horsepower so you wont kill your self.....It is not like a fast sports car...also tell them it handles better than most sports cars which makes it safer for you when a problem arises... Good luck hope you get it.......
 
well im gonna take my step dad to go test drive an mp3 with me this weekend. maybe after he drives it he'll finally understand why ive been begging him for this car and maybe he'll like it too and wanna drive it some. who knows.
 
Yeah, let's hope you don't go all crazy with driving this MP3 after you get it.... I'm tired of hearing peeps out there ending up sending this already limited edition car to the junk yards.....

Drive safely and good luck! :D
