It's always crazy to see an old car of yours pop up for sale. I hated letting the Prelude go but cool to see that the guy who bought it kept it for 8 years. Originally my wife picked it up before I met her from I think Richmond Nissan back in 2009 or so. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...7583716681674/
Seeing the way the paint faded and rear arches started to rust confirms my suspicion that it was likely in a small accident and that the bumpers and passenger door had been repainted at some point.

He said they only have 2 Miata's on their entire order list for the rest of the year and the CX-5 is the top selling vehicle right now... They are doing 1.9% financing on a lot of their stuff.

Do you know what the cost is? I think one of the big things getting in the way is that the cars are overpriced for what you're getting. The CX-50 GT Turbo is $54k after taxes and $1,000 discount.
The salesguy told me they have NINETY CX-50's in stock. NINETY!!! lol!!!
I can't imagine the Hybrid will be anything less than $10k over that price?? I mean no offense to Mazda but $65k is too much for what you're getting.
*edit just looked it up... 7.3 seconds 0-60 and 219hp? Drivetrain stolen right out of the RAV-4 Hybrid? Ugh I guess it will work for some people, but that doesn't sound enticing to me in any way. I hope my GF doesn't find out about it hahaha... looks like it's going to be about $52k based on conversion for the mid-model... so a little less than I thought because it's the lower spec engine package not a turbo.

I liked the cx50 when it first came out because it looked very muscular from the wide stance, as time goes on, I like the cx5 more now. Each dealer gets more cx5 than the cx50 as well so take that into consideration. Cx5 Japan made, while cx50 is US made. CX5 has better interior materials and independent rear suspension. The only thing that I can think of as pros for the cx50 is the exterior styling and the panoramic roof
The enormous plastic fender cladding from the cx50 really turn me off
Just saw your post that said they have 90 cx50, it's really not selling well as the cx5. For my commute, I see so many cx5s, rav4s, crvs and now model y as well

Translation = nobody is buying Mazdas haha | They've been doing this since 2020. Don't remember if it's the same owner, but Cowell VW was doing the same thing. At one point Mazda had a M4 GTS on their lot for 80K lol from AB.

She likes the plastic wheel arches, I agree with you also that the interior finishing/trims leave much to be desired.
She has mentioned looking at the CX-5 instead, I kinda poo-poo'd it because to me it's a super old design now, but I do like the fact it looks more athletic and visually smaller to the eye from the outside. It's only a tiny bit cheaper than the CX-50 too.

| VW's found a lot of sales success moving mainstream and I feel like they have a similar buyer to Mazda
IMO a RAV4 hybrids that a buyer can get now instead of waiting 6-12 months with an awesome finance rate should be a really easy sell.
If I were a Toyota dealer, I'd use the RAV4 Prime/Hybrids to drive foot traffic then steer the mans towards a CX50 they can have today lol.
Might put Kia on the same lot to sell an EV9 or Hybrid Carnival instead of a 3 year wait for a Sienna.
Kia engine/transmission work would keep service drive busy too.

Pinging Hobz - this seems like a decent deal? The current owner even has a matching RX and a mansion based on that front gate + parking area. https://www.facebook.com/share/eEzJTaJct4BK5vDt/ Quote:

Yea I saw that post too. Too bad I don't want to drop $100k on a toy right now. Isn't that the classic colour, like the colour they used for the press cars?

Infrared yes and tan for the coupe concept. The convertible concept was white on white (crime)
Anyone else amazed that this shit is holding its value like insanely well ?!? 3 years and you only lost 30k off Msrp ? Like the equivalent 8 series of the same vintage is 70-80k and it was more money from the get go.
P.s. almost 8k for that ppf makes my 10k wrap seem justifiable.

These will be tempting at $5-60. Should just settle for a used rcf at like $35000 or a new is500 for like $70?
