Going to buy MSP pretty soon...

[shift_passion]

im very interested in the car, but before i purchase it, is there anything i should know in terms of issues with the car, pricing or anything like that would be useful. thanks in advance.

THere is a hesitation, for more info see the hesitation sticky thread. There is also a clunk from the rear suspension heard when going over bumps, supposedly a fix in dec. You should try and get it for around 16k + ttl. I love my msp.

If you need more info the sear function will help you out.

[shift_passion]

thanks..try to get it for 16k? when i went to the dealer, the Asking Price was around 22k..

[RyanJayG]

if they dont quickly drop to atleast $17k then bolt out of there with a quickness

[shift_passion]

hmmm, would they go that down that much under asking price?

17witmsp you have to be the dumbest person on these boards, just because you dont change the oil after 5k miles and have problems dont go telling people the car sucks

I am buying one soon as well. Definately read the threads here, I have spent a lot of time reading all the topics. Makes me want it even more. I am deciding between this and a RSX S-Type and I am pretty sure this is the car for me.

$2500 now. Last Monday it was $2000 here in the Detroit area. If it went up then that will help even more.

Just to let you know I have been looking at this car for 3 months of so.

I have been quoted the following:

$373/month
$389/month
$273/Month

I figure that I will wait till Jan. (as long as there are still any MSP's around) and they will even be a better deal. Noone buys in Jan.

You can go to Mazdausa.com and search inventory in your area.

I amy by mine in some small town in Ohio as I bet I could get a good deal and it would be a nice ride back! =)

type-s is not as sporty as some people think

i was between the two as well.......i got MSP and my girlfriend (at that time) got Type-s.

too much to list, but overall i like the MSP better.......plus it was like 4k cheaper.

[RyanJayG]

good points

it all goes back to the point: if you bought a MSP to drag race then you are pretty much dumb, buy it for looks and handleing.


(it is fast, but there are plenty of faster cars out there in a drag race)

i know u are jealous cuz i got a msp and u got a p5(not offending all people with p5)...hahhahah...too bad..also i did change oil BEFORE 5k miles..also if u can read, go find a msp manuel and states that the first oil change should be about 5k miles..plz go read and come back tell me what ya think.

[yourworstmemory]

ill tell ya...your a fuckin moron...big deal, if your car was really shitty unlike everyone elses...then the dealer would have done something about it...seriously unless you have a horrible dealer they will help you out all you can, plus you have a warrenty...unless you voided it...so go get whatevers wrong fixed and shut the fuck up...you are making 17 year olds look bad by acting like a 4 year old...

[tiger8191]

I tend not to pay attention to people who can't complete a normal sentence and have spelling difficulties. If you can't type out a sentence then I am sure you can't take care of a car IMHO.

Anyway...

I like the Type-S. It is a nice ride. But there are more pro's for the MSP for me. I don't drag race, I don't even plan on any mods really, except for a couple gauges maybe. I like the looks of the MSP and the last dealer let me and my wife take one out for 30 minutes and it was a fun ride that I would like to experience everyday! =)

No matter which one I end up with, the MSP or RSX, I feel I am a winner as both cars will make for a fun few years. Wife is getting the Accord so I get to have a fun car without fear of a growing family. But man I love the MSP. I wish I was able to get one this week, but it isn't possible. Got 4 months left on my current lease.

[shift_passion]

so if you dont mind me asking, how much did everyone get their MSP for?
