(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  MSP- Overpriced or a Good Deal Hey I joined this forum after gaining an interest in Mazdaspeed products. Predominantly the 2006-07 Mazdaspeed 6 and the 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege. I found a 2003.5 MSP for sale near where I live at a place called JD Performance. The price was originally $6900, but the latest posting shows a reduced price at $6500. It has relatively high mileage, 146k. It looks stock and in good condition. It does have a new head unit for stereo. Should I keep looking or not? Here's the link to craigslist listing: MazdaSpeed Turbo Any help would be much appreciated |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Have you considered an MS3? You can find them for a relatively good price and some with lucky low miles

| Not Ranked : 0 score $6500 for an MSP with those miles is waaaayy too much. Keep looking, there are lower mileage examples out there for that price and cheaper. I test drove a new MS3 the other day, yes its fast, but everything else about it was very "meh". |
