Well I tested the market for a trade myself and found they would offer 10-14. They really don't have a lot of info available and one dealer even priced it as a regular Protege with add-ons. Either one of two things will happen; in time the value will increase or the bottom will drop out completely...
On a good note you can go to edmunds.com and it gives a trade-in value of 17.7, for mine anyway with 7200 miles on it. Of course this didn't really help at the dealers.

Oh yeah most dealers are going to give you as little as possible so when they sell a used msp for 17k they can make 7..... Then they can make you feel special by giving you "more than what it's worth" at 11 or 12k.... I sell cars for a living and have to deal with my used car manager for trades he always gives a few grand under trade value then deducts for any problems

I work for ford as well but buying a mazda you'd get s plan. My sister got to use it for her speed...
I'm not sure how anyone could resale one for 21K when you can buy them new for less than that now with the rebates. I have owned and traded many cars and have never seen a "limited" production car loose value so quickly. I guess we can only hope that it goes up once they are not available new anymore. I only wish I would have bought mine with the rebates that are avaliable now and it wouldn't be such a difference between what I paid and what it's worth...

I must have been thinking of something else when I said X-plan. I was able to use the Ford discount which made the purchase price around $16500 when it was all over. Also, the car is limited production, but that only matters if the car is a hot seller and there is a bigger need than production. Even the STi and Evo where said to be limited production, but you see those sitting on lots as well. Now the SRT-4 might be different since those are selling as soon as they arrive.
