Other 1 owner speeds?

I'm wondering how many other mazdaspeed owners here bought their car brand new? I've grown so attached to my Mazdaspeed over the last decade+, I think I want to buried in it at this point. Anyone else here buy their speed new?

I absolutely love knowing every bit of history about the car.

 

I bought mine new. You will find that a lot of the long time members also bought new. I plan on driving mine forever. With my current lifestyle I should be able to dd it and be around 250 k miles when I retire

@Raider and @Awafrican for sure

 

Yup bought my genpu brand new with 43km on the clock, still at sub 130k km, only did about 3000km last year and I daily it, I'm at the point I do an oil change once a year because it's been a year and that's what oil filters are rated for typically.

Trying to get one of the guys I work with to join MSO but he's had his since new and only as 75k km on it

 

Purchased new December 2006.

 

Purchased my Pu new in June 2012.

 

Purchased on Dec 28 MZ3 2008 Mica Blue + "quick fuel" fuel door & auto rear view mirror (hate) at a multi model Super Dodge dealer. Of course failed during the mega dealer failures just a year later but was fortunate that Dodge factory paper warranty was transferred to genuine Mazda...
Which I NEVER had to use. My car is fantastic with 82k now. Completely stock with just HID headlights. Son now owns it, hopefully when he eventually wants me to buy back will move my own 2007 parts to mix and match.

 

I also bought new. Odd that all the people who have hung around seem to also have bought new...

 

I hang around somewhat but am the weirdo that bought *NEW* at 172,000 miles on the clock and built motor at 200k

 

You seem like the kind of guy that would marry a stripper

And I mean that as no disrespect to your wife/girlfriend

 

I was on mazdaspeedforums.org as well but wasn't super active at the time. Mostly just used it as a resource more than posting. The mazda community definitely seems to be tighter knit than most communities though.

I feel like so many of these cars end up abused and disrespected too. It's nice to see them actually taken care of and driven daily. I think short of the car absolutely exploding into a million pieces, I'd probably attempt to rebuild it.

 

That's great! Lol I am actually about the opposite but that made me laugh so thanks haha

 

Original owner bought March 08. Still kicking at 71k

 

Having everyone knowing what you got is epic...everyone having experienced it, loses its value.

 

My car dreams of only being used 4k miles a year lol I probably go 10-12 a year unfortunately :/

 

I wish I could say I bought new, but have now owned 6, 2 MS3's, 2 MS6's, 1 MSM, 1 MSP. and have been in the game for years.
