whats the MSRP on a MS3? and if you dont mind me askin, how much did you pay for it?

06SuperWhite_SoCal_tC

$23,175 is MSRP for a Crystal White Pearl MS3(CWP is $200 extra), which is what I got it for, I also put down $4500.

White MS3 FTW! I wanted a speed 3 sooo bad but it was more than I could afford at the time when I was looking to buy a car. G/L with the new ride!

they have had motor mount problems in the past, i went to a mazda dealer to see if they still had the problems, but i was told that the problem was only in a certain vin range, and that the newer once had the problem fixed. the problem was the bolts used in the motor mounts where too small (or thin, something like that) and they kept snapping off. you can always go back to the dealer to have them look up if your car wil need it.

oh, ya that was something that was recalled already. I think it was a 07 specific problem.

my friend has a cosmic blue ms3. he had the motormount recall but also had another recall which was the computer, they remapped it because of the timing, it was causing spark knock in certain areas with lower temperatures. if your looking for exhaust he has the vibrant full downpipe back, it sound sooooooooooooooooo good. and also he just put on a go fast bits hybrid bypass valve, which is also bad a$$. but good luck!

not to be a smart @ss or anything but my buddy in socal got a CWP MS3 back in feb of 07 so u would be the second cause i have not seen one other than his and urs now...even on MS3 forums too

yeah i had two ms3.. the first one was a black one and i asked the dealership to check and and they obviously didnt check the bolt.... well it fell out going down the road doing 65 mph.... so then i had a true red ms3 had it one week. and went ahead and had the so called recall mount put on.... and it kept staying loose.... if a stock car can not handle the hp what else is going to break when you add mods....

Apparently the connecting rods are quite thin too. But I hear of the motor mounts a lot more often. Just watch your boost if you start tinkering.
