Hey guys, I was browsing Carsdirect.com and noticed that they have a rebate listed for the p5! Is this new? Can you get this with the special financing rate? Damn! I should have waited!

Usually.. u can't combine special financial rate WITH rebate. IF this rebate is for reals.. I"M GONNA GO GET ONE! Remember when you deal to not factor in the rebate price. The rebate comes from the factory, not the dealership.

Where did you get this information from? All I see is a 1.9% APR on Protege5s.. not that hot..

I convocated from University recently and was given a $750 rebate from Mazda for being a new graduate. Maybe that is what he saw.

I got the same 750 grad rebate. I heard Mazda was dropping it in the US though...

According to Carsdirect.com, on main protege 5 page.

Customer Rebate: Customers must take delivery by 4/1/02. Please read for important information. $750



Zip code specific maybe? I used San Jose zip 95112

I'll go ask a dealership about this .. this weekend.

It's official.. They have a $750 rebate at the dealerships

Kenji, is the $750 rebate in lieu of the special financing available, or can it be combined with it?

kenji4861

It's almost all the time, only one. Dealers I've been to tells me, one or the other.

Yep, my dealer told me that it's either $750 rebate or special low rate financing. The college graduate rebate is $400 and it's independent of the above offers.

To me, it's pretty clear cut that the low rate finacing is the way to go... well, unless u're paying cash for it (100%) or u got some better financing deal yourself.
