i put down 1600, and my monthly payments are 288.
im only 20 and i got approved on my own, interest rate is 4.20
tax and title over here is expensive, the car was only 13300, it came out to 14500 cause of the tax and title. you guys know of any cheap/useful mods i can do to it to get maybe a little more horsepower? i really actually want better mpg haha

Bought mine same options, winning blue with the appearance package with the spoiler, side effects, and front aero thingy. Only paid 10400, the car had 65250 when I bought it. I think you could have done better. Seeing that you got a 2004 I would buy Mazda's extended warranty before you go over 65000 miles because you cant after that. I strongly recommend it. Also PM me for somethings to check and change that will prevent you from having issues later.

That sounds more like it. 13300 is too much with 60k miles.
