So i just picked mine up Sunday, down in Irvine, Ca. The dealer said it was the last 04 at a Mazda dealership (the truth?). So they called it a lost leader. It was orginally $33,134 but had a $7,000 rebate. So I paid $26,134 plus tax and lic. It is Velocity Red, two tone leather, bose 6 disc audio system, spoiler, lojack, (GT package I suppose) and the rest of the standard stuff. It only had 250 miles on it. Did I get a good deal, I suppose it is compared to everythign else i was looking at. Oh and of course it is 6 spd.

So now that I have one I would like to rondezvous with so others in the area.

 

Sounds like a sweet car! I'm surprised they couldn't sell it with the 2-color seats and all. Your gain to be sure. Congrats and enjoy the ride!
