skycat 0 #1 November 29, 2004 Well part of me didn't want to do it, cause I really liked not having a car payment. It was time though, the Mustang has A LOT of miles and was starting to need a lot of work. So I traded her in on a Mazda 6 Sport Wagon, in a silvery light green color. Since it's snowing like crazy and there is a foot of snow on her it's kind of hard to take a good picture.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 November 29, 2004 Mazada 6's are really cool cars. They drive well and have quite a bit of power under the hood. They even look good and are comfortable (even for an ape like me) in the cab. If I actually wanted a car, a Mazada 6 is one I would really look at. Congrats on the new car.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #19 November 29, 2004 Mazda really did a great job making their Proteges (not all that different from the 6). We have a 1996 Protege still running good at 150,000 miles, though it's time to have the brakes done. The 6 would be one option to seriously look at when the Protege peters out. However, no more new cars for a while, if ever. After buying a 2000 Toyota Tundra and a 2003 Toyota Spyder new, I'm about sick of the damn monthly payments, and besides, the value of those new cars drop some 3 or 4 thousand dollars the minute you drive them off the lot.

I haven't kept up with the model developments since they had the 323, 626 and 929 lines... If I can still get the Protege up to 110 mph on the highway with 150,000 miles on it, that's still something, ain't it?

skycat 0 #22 November 29, 2004 I was lucky, they have a $4000 cash back deal going on right now that I took rather than the 0.0% financing. That plus the trade in really brought my cost down.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
