He lives in BC. Cripe, I hope that isn't the real price, b/c I would kick myself. That is only like 3 grand more than I paid (though mine is the Pro5). An OEM turbo for 3 grand more, with lsd, big stereo, wheels, suspension, sponsored by sunkist.....man.

Anywho, has anyone else received a real quote yet on these cars? And what the hell is going on with the dodge neon SRT? Second fastest car Dodge makes I hear. (the other is either the Caravan or Viper, I can't remember which.)

I should talk to my friend, he was talking about pre-ordering an SRT...???

Sounds like a wicked car. I'm sure it will be more that $25 though.

Only at Regina Mazda. They'll likely do what they did with the MP3 they got in. That is, for lease only, $400 a month for 48 months with 2K down = 21,200 for 4 years then no car. No thanks. Why can't Mazda make a regular production hot Protege so we don't get raped at the dealer?!?!

Word.

Ya I was talking to them about that MP3 when it was on the lot. The asshole manager was telling me that they wouldn't take any trades on it either. "Oh I got people coming in here trying to trade in their 8 year old cars on it..."

SO THE F%&K WHAT!!!! Just because it's something a little special you won't take a trade on it, I really do hate some dealerships...
