Used to have a 2004 mazda 6S. Now, I have… This: ![http://www.jonrosensystems.net/files/Jeff/my6.jpg](http://www.jonrosensystems.net/files/Jeff/my6.jpg) ![http://www.jonrosensystems.net/files/Jeff/streetback2.JPG](http://www.jonrosensystems.net/files/Jeff/streetback2.JPG) So far, I absolutely love it! It is everything that my 6 should have had from the beginning! Still the same great luxury feel, but now with the power and handling/feel that I had always wanted! ZOOM ZOOM 🙂 ---

[quote=“87FOXGT,post:2,topic:25076"”] :tup: Pretty nice man! now drop it and get rims 😃 [/quote] Why would I drop it and mess up the handling? It’s already got front/rear strut tower braces, thicker anti-sway bars in both the front and back, Mazdaspeed struts and shocks. And the wheels are 18’s. Good enough for me 🙂 ---

Yea, it was the one from Northtown. Since I worked there, I got a sweet deal on it plus they gave me more for my trade in than its really worth. Only had 6k miles on it 🙂 An Evo or STI wasn’t in my price range, considering that APR on a used car is up around 7%. I’d have to find one with a ton of miles on it, and that’s not my idea of a good deal. I would have loved a new Evo or STI though, but this is just what I wanted. I got my 6, and now its got a turbo and the handling I always wanted! Slopoke, I had a V6 5-speed 6 before this. If you have any questions, shoot me a PM. I raced it in auto-x and had it for 3 years. ---

yea evo and sti are great but… you can lease an speed6 right now for $299/month with $2200 down pretty sure you cant do that with an evo/sti… Mazda has some great deals goin on right now ---

nice, I went to northtowne mazda when i was looking for my new car… they said they couldn’t get mazdaspeed 6’s in ? Are they now a mazdaspeed dealer? I guess I am glad they didn’t at the time or I wouldn’t have ended up springing the extra cash for the STi. as far as used car financing… as long as it is 2 years old or less you can still get decent rates (mine was 4.25%) ---

No they are not a speed authorized dealer, this was a trade in and last i heard they were askin 26k for this and its not a grand touring which meant it was 29k brand new. They are all over mazda forums from 19-21k. I was lookin into gettin one and gen. man. eric n. told me they just got a fresh trade in on one will be very low 20’s. Then its on the lot for 26 wtf? he asked if i was intrested still and i thought about it, $450/month for a used one or brand new one for $299/LEASE OF COARSE. But still a very nice car just alittle out my price range with full coverage on a boosted car ---
