I did not ask. The dealership was closed. A friend of mine went ealrier in the week and they told him they were asking 6K for her but they really dont want to sell her. They want to keep it just as a display. But i am going tommorow to get some more info on her.

I would want to keep it at the dealership as well, except I'd have it a showroom floor sitter.

They are obviously not wanting to sell it if they are asking for 6k and its an automatic as well. Plus, Marc, I think yours looks better to begin with.

No kidding. That's why i wanted to take pics of it. This probably will never happen again here. I could just imagine how the mazda lots were like back in the early 80's with all these fB's!!

I think it would be worth it too.

Its in great condition. doesent look like it has any interior damage.

6k is really cheap compared the some of the cars ive seen.

hell. Im not rich.

I say dont listen to most of us on here. even if were saying its a good price.

do what you want. were not god. were just a bunch of bored people on there computer with nothing to do.
