Unsold stock. I remember you could buy a new pre reg 3 mps for something crazy like about €22000 in mid 2008 from a Dublin dealer.

But why the hell is that one only popping up now? over 30k for a car that will be €2100+ tax a year!

EDIT: staying OT with my current motor, you might get this for 33,500 :pac:

What an absolutely ridiculous price to be asking!!

Think it may have being limerick Colm that one was hanging around.
The mk2 MPS came out in 09.
The road tax on that would be at the the highest bracket right?

colm_mcm

Similar story with a 156 gta prefacelift wasn't there? Unsold for years but at a ridiculous price up on carzone for ages.

Yup

Great time to do a spring clean, selling an old car that will now fall into the new tax system when they could have registered it years ago and have it on the old system.

I've said it before, the people who can afford >2100 for tax will not be buying a Mazda :pac:

They dropped the price of the red Mazda 3 MPS by around €13,000 unregistered recently because a new facelifted one came out. Is the 6 a facefift as well or not?

If not then these two cars alone are probably upsetting to see on the balance sheets. :eek:

Terrible showroom. If Mazda wanted a true prescense in Limerick then they should have O'Mara Motors / LMC type of showroom to really highlight the dealership.

Could be the same car from when Mike o Dwyer closed down.

Nice detective work

If it was that sale proof back then, it's just getting more and more saleproof by the day!

They could try to give it away in say a raffle but when the winner realises that they will have a tax bill that high, they'll want to give it back!

coolisin

Yeah that 156 used constantly appear in the dreamer thread, last time I saw an ad for it the price had well dropped and was registered.

Have you seen the price of some of the mps's on donedeal at the moment MM.

MetzgerMeister

I have indeed, they're going for absolutely nothing. Don't think I'd buy a 6MPS again though, if anything it'd be a 3MPS but I'd have an RX8 before I'd have that.

Drivers are crazy here in Athlone, will I be safe in Longford :-(

Love them yokes, prefer black though

Evening all

Still in work all the hours god sends you mode, but slowly getting there When the horror ends I may regale you

Got a dedicated parking space in work which is handy enough and the alfa is running well. Think I might have been wrong about the clutch, it seems ok, and the sputtering and cutting out has stopped.

jaysus lads i didn't think anybody had time for glanzas anymore :pac:

i've been toying with the idea a while now to change up to a levin, still have great intention to do so in the early summer. simply won't have time until at least the first week in may because i'm up to my tonsils with college assignments.

i love the shape of them, such a stylish looking thing in my opinion, that and i've never owned a two door coupe before, or a 20v model of the 4a-ge so it'd be a nice change.

i do no driving really. maybe 50km a week 3 weeks of the month and around 300km every 4th week so wouldn't really mind the extra "thirst" of a levin.

be careful what you say lads, i might end up holding you to it :pac:

Then buy something with a big engine or big power then!?

Ded_Zebra

Toyotafanboi, don't be worried about the fuel consumption. I averaged 40.6mpg on my last tank (all fairly careful driving). Diesel fans eat your hearts out :pac:
