My girlfriend is now officially in the Mazda community! I went down (back home to Miami) this weekend to surprise my girlfriend.. not having any intention on buying a car.. but yesterday my girlfriend and I went to Ocean Mazda in Miami (by the Dolphin Mall) just to look around but picked up a new 2003 LX with Automatic tranny, power everything, cruise control, 15-alloy wheels, floor mats, wheel locks, free oil changes (life of car), and free key chains for $12,864 After tax, tag, title, rebates, $700 downpayment! I got the dealer down to 1% over invoice (which turned out to be $15,300) with no dealer fees. I am SO excited for her... Now I can't wait to get my P5!

The car drives really nice compared to her 1999 Saturn SC1 (100hp). The interior build quality seems far superior and it is much less noisey (in terms of both road noise and engine noise). Backseats have plenty of room for extra-curricular activities.

Future plans for the car will be 25% metallic tint, factory spoiler, pro-kit, 17's, muffler. I'll try and get pics next time I go back down.

 

Congrats on the purchase! I'm sure you will both be happy with the vehicle.

 

always thinking ahead lol
