Hiya, first time here...great forum and lol finally a owners club thats close to where i live!! Alright anyway, i current own a 2002 protege es without that gt package (my only regret is i didn\'t get the gt pack) I wanted to get the protege5 at first but sitting into the car at Marham Mazda, the rear window seem to small so i went with the sedan. So now about 2 years of owning the car (great car btw), everything is still working well and great with about 19000km. So now im thinking of trading it in for a Mazda 3 GT-GFX Sedan...what do you all think? I looked up the value of my current protege and its worth about $13,000...if i were to go back to Markham Mazda, i\'d expect about $10,000 from them since i brought it from them and all the service was done at Markham Mazda. Would this be a good value to trade in my 02 protege es sedan?? oh, my protege don\'t have the gt package so theres no moonroof, spoiler, etc...Looks just like the LX except for the smoked headlights, fogs, and the sporty interior.. Is it worth it to trade it in for the Mazda 3?? or should i keep it for a bit longer?? The Mazda3\'s tiptronic and the 2.3L is what really attracted me to it...haven\'t test drove it yet because i know once i go in, i won\'t be coming out...arc
I have read alot of posts on this forum and hear alot of negative about Markham Mazda...i do agree that their service could be upgraded but i guess if i were to buy another mazda, i might as well buy it from them again...unless ofcourse, Mazda3 Club says otherwise :p hehe yall are big influence to me after reading about your experiences with the Mazda service centers...
