Sold my 08 Silver MS3

[Smokin08]

I had been seriously thinking about getting a new 2010 MS3 when they come out in December (?) 09' next year. However i wasn't sure about getting rid of my 8 month old ride, especially with all the fun i'd had in since the time of purchase.. However, a guy made me an offer i couldn't refuse the other day... so i sold it to him.. Now i'm driving my 08 F250 Diesel everyday until next december.. oh well, i love my truck, and i'm a huge offroad guy anyways..


Can't wait to see the 2010 MS3's and what kind of hp/torque numbers they've bumped them up to ..

Yes, i've seen the 2010 hatchback, and i actually like it!! As well as the spy photos of the new speed... I'm anxious.. but having withdrawals at the same time!!

Ah well, as long as you got a killer price for it and the 250 is the Power Stroke or V10 version, I got no bad things to say.

Congrats on getting a good deal on your MS3. It would've been risky for me after seeing the photos of the newer gen 3. To each his own...

[DaleNixon]

I'd probably sell my MS3 just to get an '09 in CWP.

You could repaint it for cheaper than the depreciation hit you'd take.

I wonder how many cans of white duplicolor it would take.

[Kain]

What's wrong with a colored MS3 anyway? Why's it always gotta be white, huh? Is that how you roll to the Klan meets?

Unfortunately, it's still a white man's world :\

My previous car was a white Protege5. My plan all along was to get a white MS3 with RX8 wheels so most of the company I work for's clients wouldn't even realize I changed cars (we are supposed to pretend like we don't make any money).

Oh well, the other dudes are rocking IS350's and slammed BMW 330's etc. My boring red station wagon doesn't attract any attention.

Couple of cases would do it !!

Can't argue with that, a deal is a deal. The new look is growing on me, a little.

Then what you did is fine. I probably would've done the same thing with my car if I got a good enough deal.
I'm assuming you sold the MS3 to drive the truck for gas mileage? :PPPP

as long as you are happy congrats!

[my3needsaname]

Just for fun, can we get pics of the 250 monster???

ROFLMFAO!!! No matter how awesome that truck is, it's a 650. lol

[mordant80]

She's not a monster. She can't even reach the door handle!

[my3needsaname]

Hahaha! I bet she could if she was trying...and there was a step ladder. lololol

[speed3guy]

HAHA not to bring the mood down or anything... but... and we wonder why GM and all these other car companies need bailouts!!! Because of that kind of stuff!! That is a bad ass truck though!! Id rock the hell out of that! Which would be even funnier cause Im 5'3 so I prolly couldnt even see over the dashboard in it!

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no official word yet from Mazda if there will be a new MS3. They have only announced their normal 3 4-door and 5-door. The only rumors we have of the new MS3 comes from magazine spy photos, and that's completely untrustworthy.

It seems quite a big decision to make on the '10 MS3 that is not officially backed by mazda. The spy photos could have easily have been a test mule for some other platform. Mazda does that all the time.

Plus, keeping with the rotating mazdaspeed model every couple of years, it's time for a change.

[Dparks7]

^^^ ya mazdaspeed5 WORD

[my3needsaname]

Motor Trend is building one!

[Smokin08]

haven't posted a picture yet.. b/c i don't know how.. any help would be great and i'll post one or two for you guys

seeing how popular the 2007-2009 MS3's were, i would highly doubt it if mazda did not continue to build the MS3 for the new 2010 model Mazda3... or at least a 2011 model if they get delayed through research and development.

When posting something scroll down until you see a button that says "manage attachments" and click on it. Then you can upload 5 photos at a time.

[Smokin08]

i just tried to upload two pictures.. and it said they failed to upload.. i'm guessing my jpeg pictures are too large or something...

[DaleNixon]

Do yourself a favor and get a photobucket account (free). Then copy the links it gives you and paste them in replies in forums.

[Smokin08]

here's my beasts!!

[Smokin08]

and my 74 bronco!!

[CrazyT]

Nice BMW too. I'm waiting to find a used one around here for sale and snatch it up.

[chief_wiggum]

When are you going to run the exhaust pipes up behind the cab? And I thought the MS3 had lots of torque....

[my3needsaname]

Damn that's a nice truck. The Bronco's pretty sweet too. I'm not one for motorcycles but the ATV looks like fun.
lol@parking on the lawn.

[Smokin08]

thanks for the comments. I'm a huge offroad gearhead and am very fortunate to have the stuff i do at the age of 26... As you can tell, I'm not your stereotypical engineer!! :)

[my3needsaname]

You're only 26?!?!?!??!!?? You lucky bastard...I hope I'm as lucky as you when I'm 26.

Nice and I thought I was doing good! I'm 26 as well! House will be paid off in march 09, truck paid off(94), and a MSP. And congrats on your success!(bow)

[hollar1211]

you sons of bitches aren't even 30 yet and have shit paid off, like houses and cars! the only shit i have paid off is my lunch everyday, and sometimes i charge that, and i still owe over 100k in student loans. i think i'll go play in oncoming traffic now.

[coololddude]

Selling a MS3. Very unstable move. You must be a terrorist!!

[CrazyT]

100k in student loans.

(shocked) Damn!!!!

But I hear you on being under 30 and having a house paid off. I just hit the big three zero and have 29.5 years left to pay mine off (more like 20 due to extra payment).

[DaleNixon]

Don't worry, I've got 4.5 years of payments left on two brand new cars, 25 years left on a mortgage, and I'll be 30 in September '09.

[my3needsaname]

lol, my car's paid off!!
The mods get paid off when I receive them too haha.

[dandydaniel]
