2007 MazdaSpeed 6 GT prospect

[Alhamdulillah]

(2thumbs)I hope to buy this car soon my friend had a black mica one and it was gorgeous and super fast he had the CAI and BOV installed. Anyway any tips or advice or anything :) what to look for? Thanks

[Alhamdulillah]

not very friendly forum is it?? replies would have been nice

[MakeMeGoFast]

lol........Its nothing personal, some days are slow on here.

[Alhamdulillah]

appreciate it :)

[tunersteve]

Good choice...07, how many miles? Price? Not sure what you're looking for as a response, but my suggestion is just make sure that all the TSB's are up to date on it (dealer should take care of that for ya) and hopefully its a good price.

oh yes i forgot.........it is a 2007 grand touring 23,400 miles...........there asking 20995 but im going to offer around 19 to 19500 drive out. They are desperate in trying to sell it. How does that sound to yall im basically offering trade in value to them. :) I hope all goes well i would love to be speed 6 owner. Once i drove my friends couple years ago i was hooked

That's not bad, although they were going new in early 2008 for around 20k (that's what I paid for mine with 88 miles on it, although its a Sport). You should be fine getting one for under 20k. And yes, it's the most fun car I've ever owned, so I can't complain. I'm sure many others on here would agree.

[MakeMeGoFast]

I'm looking to upgrade to the MS6 in the future possibly

[Alhamdulillah]

20k! brand new wow.......then i should offer them like 10k for it lol.........so what do you yall think is reasonable 23400 miles GT 07 speed 6

[Alhamdulillah]

one thing i really like i hope it does not sound weird to yall but i really like the electro luminescent red gauges

[tunersteve]

20k! brand new wow.......then i should offer them like 10k for it lol.........so what do you yall think is reasonable 23400 miles GT 07 speed 6

I think 19k is very reasonable for it. Is it still stock?

[wannabe]

welcome to the boards :)

23000 miles is a bit high for an 07, so you may be able to get that 19. typically, your only gonna see that price on an 06

[Alhamdulillah]

:) i really like this forum alot. Very warm welcomes...looks like speed 6 owners are alot more mature and down to earth then some forums :) thanks guys ill keep yall updated let me know all i can about this car i would love any info and tips and what not

[freekwonder]

Welcome aboard and good luck on the purchase. Yeah nothing person, some days are slow around here some days you can't keep up with all the posts.

[Alhamdulillah]

^^appreciate it

[Boosted24]

Welcome to the forum the speed6 is definately a awesome car to own I have a 2006 Black Cherry Mica and I love it

[tunersteve]

Keep us posted on what you do. How soon were you thinking of picking one up?

[JaxJeff]

You should be able to get it for 19-19.5 that car listed for about 26 plus new so thats not bad. I paid 20 out the door for my 06sport with 12k on it. IF tuner bought a new one for 20k, I want to take him when I buy my next car !!!!!

I think it was simply a matter of right place right time. There were 4 on their lot and they wanted to get rid of them. With S-plan, rebates, and other deductions, I ended up at $20,300 for a $29,155 vehicle.

welcome aboard.

[Alhamdulillah]

okay i plan after hurricane ike i live in clear lake(between galveston and houston but houston address), lol im riding it out hopefully iA everything will be okay........but ya next week i hope to go check it out. i have some questions for yall speed 6 enthusiasts.......... First is a CAI worth it? will it affect gas mileage? .......Second what about a BOV?..and dont worry gas is not to much of a problem for me i am just curious. And will any of that void factory warranty??.........All information and tips would be greatly appreciated thanks for the welcome guys.

[EMS541A]

CAI is worth it, and I've heard if anything it raises mileage (though this could be completely wrong) and won't void the warranty unless you hydrolock it, then you're SOL. BOV is pretty much just for looks (sound) unless you're pushing more then stock boost...

19k sounds like a pretty good price, maybe even try a little less with those miles? I bought (two weeks ago) an 06' Sport with 4k on it for 20k.

[Alhamdulillah]

okay thanks yall

[Alhamdulillah]

whats the best brand CAI for this car?? and are hydro shields worth it?? sorry im not used to all this modding stuff the most i would do is prob CAI

[_MSprotegy]

is this the one at jeff hass? cause i was the one looking at it but i ended up getting the 06 velocity red mica speed6. 33xxx miles for 18k

[tviera]

okay i plan after hurricane ike i live in clear lake(between galveston and houston but houston address), lol im riding it out hopefully iA everything will be okay.........

Good Luck. As a Floridian, I wish you well in the storm that is most likely smashing your ass as I type. I know what you're going through.

[Alhamdulillah]

ya its smashing bad right now im here

[Alhamdulillah]

is this the one at jeff hass? cause i was the one looking at it but i ended up getting the 06 velocity red mica speed6. 33xxx miles for 18k

Ya its the one jeff haas has?? is there something wrong with it?? what made you change your mind the the red one?? i still have not went see it i hope nothing wrong with it.

[_MSprotegy]

no from what i saw it was fine but i liked the red better:) im a sucker for a redhead! but if i was you i would go and get the carfax from them the day you decide to get it. trust me. if you can get it profesionally inspected do it. the screwed me on mine. they rushed everything, but it was also my fault for letting them.

when i got the car home i found out that the car was in a minor fender bender and that my left rear wheel was bent beyone repair. i got them to get me a new wheel, now im going to try to get them to knock a few thousand dollars from the price of the car.

Hey i appreciate it i will do my dad owns body shop so i hope he can do the inspecting but ya ill ask them for car fax report thanks a bunch hopefully god wills if it all goes well we can meet id like to see the velocity red i think its my favorite color on the speed 6!

[_MSprotegy]

word hit me up if you get it. i was actually going to go complaine my arse off about how they screwed me on this car that was going to demand them give me the GT for the price of the red ms6. you better go get it before i do. lol nah im just kidding. i dont think i can get rid of the red one. ive grown attached to it already.

[Alhamdulillah]

ha well that GT color not exactly anything compared to the velocity red .......IKE is here in clear lake right now tearing it up i better run to jeff haas before you do lol.....man i cant imagine the feeling owning a speed 6 when i see my friend i just wonder how much fun he must be having cruising

[Alhamdulillah]

i got great idea though.......you want them to fix up your ms6 then tell them when you go that you have someone that will buy there GT from them and you will refer them if they fix up your car or give you some money back. It might work pretty well?? win win for both of us

[_MSprotegy]

thats a good idea. have you gone up there to see it yet? pm me your info and i will try to work something out with them as into contacting you. this will show them.(laugh)

[wannabe]

shouldn't the two of you be inland somewhere now, and not posting on a forum????

[Alhamdulillah]

ya we lost power last 2 days trees everywhere my area is destroyed :( :( our tree fell into neighbors house

[ugadogs_11]

Yeah, weather sucks. Ever since I got my speed, the weather has been pretty shitty.

[tunersteve]

We got slammed with a summers worth of rain in a day from the last hurricane. My bald stock tires didn't like that one bit. I'll be doing some shopping this week.

[Alhamdulillah]

i hope have speed soon im stoked ....... i hope goes well and it works out i love that car

[tunersteve]

You won't be disappointed.

[Alhamdulillah]

! I know post up your stories in the other thread i made

[GT-Mazdaspeed 6]

Look it up on Kelly Blue Book online to see the suggested price.
I did a quick search and it said $25,255 for the 2007 GT. It seems like a lot of miles for a one year old car so maybe you can get them talked down on price.
Good luck. I love this car!

[Alhamdulillah]

i believe year and half old

[ugadogs_11]

I got mine with 8 miles on it for 25,800. We got a great deal, I think.

[diablo900t]

I paid $25,500 back in June - mine had around 100 miles on it. 07 GT.

[MShreve]

We paid $28,500 in Aug of '06 for a GT with all the options. It had 12 miles on it.

[Alhamdulillah]

nice :) congrats

[Alhamdulillah]

went to the dealer today they wanted 22500 drive out with taxes,2007 speed 6 GT 23500 miles on it, we offered 19000 with taxes they didnt accept :(... I hope god wills they call me back coming close to that price

[wannabe]

point out the fact that people have been able to buy this same car NEW for 24,000 a year ago....

[Alhamdulillah]

you know they dont care i check all over united states no one selling them cheap people got them brand new must had incentives used cars dont :(...well i guess i got wait this one out and iA hope for best

[Alhamdulillah]

well i was looking for that 2007 speed 6 GT 23500 miles on clock, at jeff haas here in houston. I went to dealer me and my father. and they asked 22500 drive out including tax and title. We offered 19000 drive out tax and title they rejected because they said there going way below trade in value basically 19 drive out is getting that car at like 17500.?? So i duno was my offer to low its way below kelly blue book for 07 GT...advice would be nice. I hope im meant to be in speed 6 god wills. well see i guess

[BADFISH6]

19,000 sounds kind of low to me too. 20, 21 sounds more legitimate. I purchased my 2007 GT speed6 brand new(sitting on the lot for a year) in March of 2008 tax and title for 26,500. However I have no moonroof or navigation, does the GT your looking at have either one?

moonroof

[tunersteve]

If the car has been sitting on the lot, I'd point that out too. Oh, and the fact its a manual might get you some cash off as well.

[chuyler1]

Exactly. Mazda offered $4500 cash-back on them and dealers were selling well below invoice....but the seller of the car you're looking at only cares about his bottom line. Just let them know you're shopping subarus and audis and give them hard numbers on what you can buy for $18,500. Then tell him you'll offer $19,000 since it looks like a nice car...and stick to your guns. If they don't take it, go home. They'll call you in a few days to make a deal.

they're all manual, so probably not (peep)

[BADFISH6]

I dont actually the more i read about what others paid, looks like 19 is ok and i got ripped off.

[tunersteve]

I know, but, statistics prove that manual cars are more difficult to move on used car lots. Just suggesting something that might be worthwhile. If it's been sitting on the lot, it may be because it's a manual.

[wannabe]

merged your threads. no need for two threads on the same discussion for the same person and same vehicle.

[chuyler1]

True, my wife and I have been eyeing a Jeep wrangler 6spd that's been sitting on a lot for over a month. We looked at it a few weeks ago and they have called us every few days since. sticks are tough to sell because you can't convince someone that wants an auto to take it for a test drive.

Good suggestion, that's a great car for the price.

[Alhamdulillah]

thanks guys for support i hope they call back :) i sent offers to speed 6's all over texas someone is gotta be willing to get rid of one. I know im sending low offers. But i know most of these cars been sitting on the lots for long time and they will end up sold cheap in auctions if they dont sell. i appreciate the help ill keep yall posted.

[chuyler1]

If you are going to low-ball, it is best to do it in person with a check in hand from your credit union or bank. Many CUs will issue a new vehicle check that is blank but good for your approved loan amount. You fill in the price of the car and hand it to the dealer and the transaction is done. A few days later the CU will send you a payment book. That is the most powerful way to do business because it tells the dealership you are approved, you are buying a car, and if you leave it won't be their car.

[Reyan]

Good choice on the car, a gt new was around 30k, they had a 4k rebate on them back in 07, but lately the car has regained some of it's value because they stopped making them. An 07 with 23k is not bad miles depending on the inservice date (meaning the day the car drove off the lot). Anyway good luck with the car if you do make the purchase. Good to meet another muslim brother in the Mazda Community.

The one thing you have to take into consideration,if you gonna low ball the dealer and were paying with a CU check they will have to raise the price to incur the CU fee's (some bancks/CU have loan app. fees that they charge in the fine print),and some CU you have to have a certain amount of money in the bank to get the low interest rate, also CU have the right to with hold, meaning if they were going into financial problems they can at anytime withdraw the money from your account or take the car back and sell it to cover their loss quick, but they never tell you that (it's in the fine print).

[Alhamdulillah]

im paying cash they rejected
