When I used the word argue, I did not mean it in the sense #2 DISPUTING, as you took it. i meant it in the sense of #1 giving reasons for or against, REASONING, or #1 in the transitive sense to give evidence of or to INDICATE. you say that you were "just pointing out", well that is exactly what "to argue" is. Therefore, you were arguing, just not in the petty sense that you thought I meant. and BTW my post was not in any way directed at either of you. it was directed at any one who has an MP3 and was considering trading it in and buying a Mazdaspeed. Isn't the title of this thread "Why buy new when upgraded will do?" Those who would "argue" that you should buy new bacuase of the labor costs to install the upgrades are not considering the depreciation value of a trade in. THAT was my point. To be honest, I didnt even read your posts. So, sorry if I did not make it clear to you guys that my post was not in reference to your view on paying for dealer warrantied upgrades that yield less performance gains vs. paying for or installing for yourself non-dealer warrantied upgrades that offer greater performance gains. I guess i should be more clear next time. Sorry, I didn't know I was the one off the subject.
