I always get in such a huff when people fight with me about whether there were non-turbos or not... For some reason they know without a doubt, that there were N/A versions.
I went to a dealership that had a touring for sale.
Me: Wow, is this twin turbo? (playin devil's advocate)
Sales puke: Actually, no, this is the luxury model so it has a single turbo.
Me: Cool! How many cylinders?
Sales puke: Oh, it's a V6.

Was this at a Mazda dealership, or some other place? I was looking at an FD at a Mazda dealer one time, and when I popped the hood and asked what kind of engine it had (knowing full well exactly what it had), I was told by the salesguy that it was a V6.

I called up a Mazda dealership once for parts, and when the parts guy asked me what year/model, he asked if it was turbo or non. I naturally replied all were turbos, and he countered with a 'uh uh - there were non turbos'. I did not even bother pressing the arguement, and just told him mine was a turbo equipped model...

In the summer I usually go around to all the used car lots in seattle and check out what they have. I've been lucky to see a few used FDs around and I've have played dumb with the salesman more then a few times. I've been told that that engine was a special type of engine but couldnt think of the name... That it had a V-6 and that the car is going to go up in value since it was in the fast and the furious.

it drives me crazy - i've had 2 people insist they really like the convertible FD -
me :"uh....they didn't make a convertible- there is one somewhere, but it's custom - "
them: "no, man, really, my friend has one, its awesome"
me: " uhhh...yeah, dude - ok - (******* idiot)"
then the classic - "oh, yeah, i like the green ones" "they don't make green" "no, really, i saw itmyself" "ummmm...ok, you're right, i'm an idiot"

So, by this line of logic, I should be able to go out and buy an old Pontiac Trans-Am, and expect it to go up in value because the car was in "Knight Rider"?
Wow, the things some people will say to get you to buy a car.... Does it fly too?

Heh heh....you should have told him you have the non-turbo...then let him try to find the "non turbo" parts you were looking for. I wonder how long it would have taken for him to figure it out
