OK, after almost two weeks of haggling and fighting with Bob Penkhus Mazda, I landed myself a new whip today. Well, new to me anyway:





2006 Dark Cherry Mica Mazdaspeed6 GT with Xenons, moonroof, Bose, two-tone leather, autoclimate, power heated seats, and a very happy new owner! I had to be a real JERK about the deal, but I got what I wanted for my old car, and got a price $2000 below KBB for the new ride. Comes with $22,855 miles of "breaking in" by the former lessee of the vehicle.

Better pictures this weekend, when she gets her first wash-wax, and when I get a few light mods done. But for now, I know one thing:

I gotta stay OFF the damn boost or I'll go broke on gas!!

A TON of thanks go to Josh (FreezingCX7) for helping me through the process of being an asshole to get what I wanted on the car.

Mmmmm...Boost

sooo ahhh, what was the final deal they gave you on the car?

$9000 trade-in on my car. That was what most of the haggling centered on. They started at $7K and came up to meet me. $20,995 on the Speed6. KBB is $23K-26K, depending how you rate its condition. 5.25% financing. So my payments are basically exactly what they were on the 6S, but with 70K fewer miles, AWD, and a bit more FUN.

Gotta land some winter tires before November, though. Summers will NOT cut it.

well cool bro.. next spring when I get my taxes back Im gonna be buying my wife a car for her.. So hopefully that will open the door for me to get rid of my 6 and maybe get into a speed aswell... I'd try and do one now but the wifey doesnt know how to drive a stick and I sure as hell dont want to teach her on a car like that..

No, that clutch is a BEOTCH. I'm used to truck-sized manual trannies, but this clutch is a bit grabby...no, it's a lot grabby.

Thats a beautiful car. Congrats

The '06 clutches are a bitch. I'll be throwing in a Spec stage 2+ pretty soon. Congrats on the ride, good to see another Speed6 in the club

CONGRATS on the new ms6! Cant wait to see it, i have never seen that color in person before.

its very purtttty

Thanks, guys. So far, I love it, but I miss my little redfire. It has to be lonely.

Congrats! You will have plenty of time until you need winter tires, enjoy the summer while it's here!

They should of thrown in a Camera with the Sale too... feel like I'm intoxicated just trying to see your Speed6.

Very nice Speed, I like that color!

I just noticed you have the 2-tone leather.....bah I want that friggin black on white!!!!
