HAHAHA. Hadn't heard about that one. That's so funny. Glad I know my car wasn't on the Cougar Ace.

Humm... A "used" mazdaspeed6 2007 with less than 5 miles on it seems like a deal to me...

UNLESS the "used" price is same as new. only with used sticker... in which case... no one would ever buy them... so they will be marked down... My guess is ... with all the other discounts out now.. you might snag a new mazda with the 2.3 turbo for around 20-23,000... good cheap savings for a vehicle that "could" have minor defects ....

As I understand it most of these were 3's per the article.

I dunno, that could be one of the selling points the Salesman uses. "This is one of the very rare 'Cougar Ace' editions!"

Very few salesmen know enough about the car to begin with, I doubt any of them would even know if they were "Cougar Ace" editions.

Maybe they should have a chrome Cougar ace sticker on the side window :drive:

It best be more in the range of 17500 to 21500 for either the MS6(if there were any that made it to US or Canada market) and the CX-7.
A person I work with grabbed an 06 Sport with 2300 miles for 20450. I paid, NEW off the ship, 22340 for my 06 Sport. And the Pricing has Not increased for 07.

This As MAZDA has been paid AND wrote off against profits on every vehicle which gets the COUGAR badge.

I believe that the MSRP has gone up 1% from 06 to 07.

 

[yellowmp5]

j/ purchased a 07 MS6, confirmed that it's not from the cougar ace!

OP, only (5) MS6 was on the cougar ace? how do you know?

 

[Alan]

MazdaUSA has posted PDFs all of the VINs involved.

 

[ninecoronas]

If there's no damage then the lucky people who buy it will get the deal of their lives.

I'm sure it'll add to the re-sale value.

"2007 Mazdaspeed 6 COUGAR ACE EDITION!!!"

 

[IHeartGroceries]

I'm reviving this thread to see if the VINs in the OP have been added to the MS6db, since for whatever reason, I can't find the damn database.

All lost at sea...

 

[LiquidMS6]

None of them came up when I searched.

I guess they're all crushed now aren't they? It's sad they couldn't find something better to do with them. School automotive programs or something along those lines. Stupid liability


ms6db.com

 

[DisplacedMainah]

anyone have a ball park idea of #s left?

 

[IHeartGroceries]

Geeze...so it is just ms6db.com. Silly me.

Anyway, somebody add them! The VINs in the OP were officially listed as total losses by Mazda when the Cougar Ace capsized. So, it is official; 5 MS6s lost at sea.

Re: Hopefully no '07 shoppers get the "Cougar Ace" edition MS6.

Some lucky fishies down there.

That is correct, all 4703 Mazdas (including MS6) where scrapped:

I would hate to be that poor bastard that special ordered one.



Here is a quote from Mazda regarding seemingly undamaged cars being smashed:

"This is less about the money than customer satisfaction.''


Who the fuck said this? I want to talk to them about my fucking POS leaky K04, bendy rods and junk VVT setup. I guess they pick and choose their customers.

Releasing those cars to the market would hurt the resale value of everyone who bought those cars previously. No one would want a cougar-ace Mazda over a non-cougar-ace Mazda. And again, selling them at a lower price point would not be resale-value friendly. Crushing the cars may not have been the most "media" friendly solution, but from a business standpoint it made sense.
