I just purchased a Protege5. I am very happy with the car so far, 98 miles, but I was a little upset when someone told me they were offered the same car plus: moon roof, roof rack, chrome exhaust, and auto for $15500.00 out the door.

My immediate response was that you don't really know how much its going to cost until the final papers are signed, but it did start my wondering. I hate buying new cars for this very reason.

I found this club while looking for info on what others have paid for their Protege5. Unfortunately, I never found anything.

It seem like something anyone that owns one or looking to buy would want to know, but of coarse the dealers don't want that. I sent an email to the club asking if it is alright to start such a discussion, but no answer yet. So if I'm violating some policy? Sorry! If you would rather not know, stop reading now!

I paid $15788.87 out the door for a protege5 on 9/20/03. Base model with Manual trany + ABS and side air bags+ subwoofer with 13 miles. Mazda was offering a $2250.00 rebate until 9/30/03. Tax and license in Phoenix, Az was $1593.87 which is in the out the door price.

What did you pay?

I understand that one of the problems with asking this question is that I'm just as likely to get dis-information from those that are selling, but I don't care because my deal is done.

So this is to help others!

 

In Canadian,,,,I have an automatic, fully loaded P5 without the roof rack. I am leasing it but if I was going to buy it brand new it was going to cost 27,000$ all together!!

 

I bought mine used from a dealer for around $7000 got a good deal for it too, it had a kbb value of $8000.
I got it off ebay. Had to go all the way to Pensilvania to get it.

When I got it it had 49000 now it has around 52000. Oh yeah driving that thing into the ground. Ive only had it for 9 months. its a 2000 lx protge fully loaded power everthing

 

3,000 miles in 9 months is driving it into the ground?

My 80 year old grandmother puts more miles on her Lincoln than that.

Redlined to the grocery store though.

 

I picked up my '03 P5 last week. Silver 5spd with ABS/Side Air Bags & Subwoofer (standard on '03.5s). Final price before state taxes was $13,465. MSRP was $17,905.

 

I just got my new P5 this afternoon. It was a demo car so it already has 4800 miles on it. But since it was a demo...it was fully loaded. THe only thing I didn't get was the roof rack. I walked out paying 15851.

 

i paid 14,490 out the door with tax but i also got a 2500$ rebate, S-plan, and the additional 500$ S-plan rebate for a fully loaded ES 5 spd with moonroof, 6 cd, side air/abs, and the mazdaspeed suspension as a dealer installed accessory

 

My 03 P5 was 16K but I got it at 0%, the sales guy told me he could come down another 1500 if I took a "low" rate, but I'm happy.

 

I paid (Canadian) $22,000 all-in, for my '02 ES automatic, air (non-GT) with tape player.

 

Forgot to say... that was brand new (7 kms), in June 2002.

 

I got a 2003 Protege ES over the weekend. Sticker price was $18,740. Paid $13,690. Came with 4 speed sport automatic, ABS and side airbags, 6 CD-Changer and Moonroof along with the base equipment.

 

my p5 out the door was about $23k, which included the 6yr warranty.
keep in mind it was a) "limited" yellow and b) the 5 had just been released that summer...

 

i bought my 2003 pro ES, fully loaded, sun roof and 6 cd changer back in march for 17 flat including tax title and license.

 

I don't have my P5 anymore...but last December I paid ~$18,000 total - that was with no options (5-spd) 'cept for cargo liner and cargo net.
