Sounds like they're trading in their NC MX-5 on an ND.

Sounds like they drove one, it happens to the best of us

During our Tire Rack to Florida trip we stopped to visit my parents. My dad might have taken that car for a spin.

You have cool parents, my mom drives a kizashi that she has probably never had over 60

They're pretty cool. Their other car is a BMW 3 series wagon. Plus I now have their 240SX.

Now, you can't blame him for that one.

Update: The car is in the service department and just waiting on paperwork.

Sounds like they're taking advantage of a lot of incentives and deals that end today.

nice! My parents don't feel like trading their NC in on an ND, but they haven't driven one. Maybe i should suggest they change that... Too bad their local Mazda dealer is garbage.

I am certain that if my father could get into a Miata (two artificial hips) he would be driving one instead of his XC90

In reply to David S. Wallens:

Cool! Surely you called dibs on their old NC.

My dad asked if I wanted the NC, but the dealer is giving them a really nice trade-in allowance. This makes is easy.

They're home with the new car and quite happy with it.

I'd rather have an old 240 than any iteration of miata.

My parents would probably love an ND, but their early production 1990 seems to be keeping them pretty happy.

Sounds like you raised your parents well.

Congrats to your parents!

I'm surprised tho' that they're seeing incentives for NDs already, that doesn't bode well for resale value...

It sounded like a dealer incentive on any Mazda, not just an ND.
