I was offered S plan when I tested it in the summer, I said I worked at Bruce Power, and he quoted me 36k out the door.

thats got to be way below sticker, my 6 stickered at like 27k.



does it have carpet in it for that price?



do you really want to be driving basically the same car for 4-5 more years knowing the crappy resale value the 6 has? Whats your's worth right now? $5-$6k?





the auto on the 350 is actually pretty nice, has the paddle shift thinghy, shifts very fast

im not in it for the resale... if i was id be drivin a honda... the resale for the 6s right now is double what your qoutin btw..

not ideal but its a trade off with other factors ive considered.. dont care much for status symbol with bells and whistles like the lexus.. its all subjective anyway

and to this date.. knock on wood.. havent had any issues with the 6s and shes been beaten to death in autox since purchase...

you cant judge an entire manufacturer by one model rob.. oh and as a matter of fact.. friend picked up his 06 speed for 23k..

theres was an incentive for 4500 off the msrp late in the year with some cash back if recallin correctly..

you overpaid for your 4banger 6i.. paid 22k 6banger 6s in 03 for mine..

2006 MAZDASPEED6 Up to $4,750 Customer Cash (1)(2) OR 0.9% APR for 36 MONTHS (1)(5)



2007 MAZDASPEED6 $1,000 MAC Customer Cash(1)(3) OR

1.8% APR for 36 MONTHS(1)(6)

I didnt PAY 27k, im saying that was the sticker.



I offered the resale arguement because you said the 350 is 5k more, it will be worth much more at the end of 4-5 years then a mazda, so in the long run your money goes further.



I CONSTANTLY see 05 6s going for 14-15k, I see 2003 models going for 9-11k, yours has a lot of miles on it, no leather, no nav, etc..



My car has every option besides the $1400 6cyl option and the nav. and I bet I would never see 10k for it, it only has 25k miles on it and not a scratch, dent, and never had body work on it.



2003 Lexus IS300s are selling for 18k-22k, this is on a car that stickered for $30k

I stand corrected. I could've sworn they did... I must be day dreaming.



Rob... comeon! you can't be counting every last penny. The IS250 here is 36K MSRP start. Which is base. If you want the "Sport" package add 10k to it. So 46K. That is easily 10K more than the MS6 GT w/ leather and sunroof. Plus if we were all financially sensible we wouldn't be trying to keep 18 year old cars on the road and modding them to hell and back.

common man- cant compare a hobby car to a daily, and cant compare a loaded IS to a stripped down 6



Lexus IS: Starting at $30,255 - $35,705



mazdaspeed 6- starting at $28,590, put leather seats and heated mirrors and your at $30,620

13.6 with just an intake for a daily aint bad would ya say..

check here.. im startin to think mazda underated this car..
