Im open on options. Would prefer a manual, but will consider auto.

please email at pjpin@comcast.net

Thanks.


Edit:If someone has any input as to which model I should be looking at please chime in. Seems like the ES is the most likely candidate? THis is for a first car for my 16 year old.

Are you looking for anything inparticular? I'm selling my loaded P5. It's a wagon but it's one of the nicest ones around. A lot of custom work. Real peppy but not enough to get into any real trouble.

I need to check with my son, but I don't think he wants a hatch back. I think he would be better served by one as he's a drummer and totes his drums around quite a bit.
My main concern is price. I'm looking to keep the price reasonable or I will just as soon buy a Mazda3. I can get a used 3 for about $12000-13000.

^ get his, its a "one of a kind" - very nice!!!

I'm asking a little more than $12K but I have about $6K in modifications to it on top of the vehicles value and low mileage.

I'm asking $14K for my p5 and that includes a $1K haltech standalone fuel computer and a Dell laptop for any tuning you may want to have done...custom supercharger system, brembo brakes, hawk pads, mazdaspeed struts and springs, mazdaspeed shortthrow shifter, sparco ****, mazdaspeed audio system, j-spec cams, obx 4-1 header, mazdaspeed exhaust, SPEC stage 3 clutch, flex-a-lite slim fan, etc etc etc

The Mazdaspeed one is indeed nice. I'll check your thread out.

Roddimus your car sounds awesome, but a little much for a first car. I'm into cars & racing RX-7's but I need something for my son that he can drive and not tinker with. I spend so much time messing with cars that the rest of the family needs to drive stuff that needs little messing with.

understandable! I've got a drive full of projects and I put more miles on my wifes beetle than anything else!
