Greetings Gents!

I'm about ready to pony up and get a 6, but I have a dilemma. I need help in choosing the right car. The first is a 2006 sGT with 18"in. factory rims and a spoiler. It's pretty nice and it only has 319 miles on it. Dealer wants 23000 for it. I test drove this one and liked it ALOT. The other is a 2006 s value edition, with 21,800 miles on it; and the dealer wants 17990(still has the balance of the warranty too). But I haven't test drove this one yet. What do you guys think? By the way unfortunately they are both pebble ash colored.

the one that is selling for $23,000, is that a mazdaspeed6?

Naah, it's just the sGrand Touring model. Should I be looking for a speed6 in that price range?

The Grand Touring has lots more luxury in it than the SPE. I have the SPE but I am starting projects on it to enhance the interior and exterior. The cloth seats are comfy. I test drove a Grand Touring but I think the leather quality was too cheap as compared to the firmness I have in my Audi. Therefore, I went for the SPE since the price was significantly low.

Yeah, right now I have an acura, and I can see what you mean about the difference in the leather. I'm not sure about what add-ons I would do. Are some of the upgrades expensive? What kind of projects are you doing currently?

im pretty sure you could get a '06 speed6 for 23,000. maybe even in a color you would like.
