2008.5 MAZDASPEED3 - Now in CRYSTAL WHITE and METROPOLITAN GRAY

[GhostMercury]

Well I did it! I'm the proud owner of a 2008.5 crystal white pearl Mazdaspeed 3 GT!

So far, i'm loving it! Still getting used to shift points and throttle control (ie. Boost) but it's real easy to drive, and alot of fun! I can't believe how much smaller it is from my Trailblazer, but it doesn't feel small inside at all. I drove 60 miles so far and the needles stuck on F so i'm happy because, at that point i'd be at 1/4 tank less on the SS.

im glad you finally went through with it. did you get a deal like me

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Yeah pretty darn close. OTD was like $23,700. With the locking lugs and winter floor mats free.

Only thing is so far I'm hearing the dashboard windshield clicking thingy.

Congrats!!

My dealership fixed it with no problem, might want to give them a try.

What did they end up doing?

What did they end up doing?

They ordered some kind of insulation. I was the first one they did, they hadn't heard of the problem before. But it's fixed and I don't hear a thing anymore!

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Well I typically don't hear it until it got cold last night and I was driving over some rough roads. That was the only time I heard it alot. It's supposed to get colder and colder all week so I'll have to wait and see what I can have done.

 

[SMITTNME]

Yea, the temps have been up & down here, and I heard it a lot more when it was colder. I figured I'd just go ahead and see if they could fix it, and they did.

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

That's good! I think i'll wait for the time being until I figure out if it's going to happen alot or not.

 

[ExCaLdA]

what if the dealership doesnt have the 2008.5 MS3.. would you have to order one..

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Well yeah you could order one and it could take a few months.

 

[ExCaLdA]

ouch..

but most likely they would have some in stock.. lol

Is that before tax and title or after?

Congrats on the ride... You went through Suburban right?

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Yeah I went through Suburban. I'm gonna have to check my paperwork again, i'm pretty sure that was OTD. I put money down.

I am not going to search for this but someone informed me they are only releasing 250 White ones. can anyone confirm this. and if that is so that I can assume that the Metro Grey is the same.

I unfortunately am in the market for the MS3 because my Civic was stolen on Sunday. If the car isn't found in one piece I am going to get a Check. most likely I am going to put it down on a metro grey MS3. just came back from the dealership and they had the metro grey and the CWP. was shocked they were in stock.
