Well I ended up buying a new car last night...so the SVT needs to go now. I got an exceptional deal on a Mazda6, loaded. Sticker was $26,800 I got it for $22,800 which was $1500 below the dealer invoice. It was the last day of the month and they were having a contest and needed to sell the car so that explains the deal I got. Surprisingly I qualified for 3.4% (bank rate) credit. I knew I had good credit but I didn't figure it would be good enough to get that rate (I'm 23).
Only downside is I had to get the 5spd auto because my fiance can't drive stick.
Not the end of the world, the stick was getting annoying anyway with all this shore traffic. So here's the options I got:
Lapis Blue Metallic exterior
Black Leather interior
Bose stereo with 6 cd in dash, trunk mounted sub
Moonroof
Comfort package (Heated Seats/Mirrors)
Fog Lights
Sport package (17" wheels, body kit, spoiler, etc...)
Sport grille
I guess that's about all the major upgrades. The car drives very well and handles well also. I was very surprised. It has plenty of power (220hp, 192tq) also. Mileage seems to be identical to my SVT (20/27). Though I really like everything about the car, the biggest selling point is the interior. The front seats are great, the dash is laid out incredibly and seems very refined; 50x more refined than my SVT. So...long lived #5292, now I just gotta throw an ad in the paper and try to sell it for the down payment I made.
