- Not true. I bought a 93 4cyl two months ago and I found the prices
- in one of the off-the-shelf books. I don't remember which one, tho.
- As a result, I was able to get mine for $250 over invoice. I know this
- because I got to see the invoice, and it was pretty much dead-on to the
- book.

- I looked at the Mazda, too. I didn't like the styling of the interrior.
- I _much_ preferred the Probe. The Mazda looked boxy, while the probe
- looks more sleek and driver focused.
-
- In comparison to the Saturn... I really liked the SC, however, I thought
- for the price I got the Probe for, I got a more driver-oriented car.
-
- My only complaints about the probe: not enough room in the console for
- garage door openers, sunglasses, casettes, etc.. I have also found that
- the 4cyl is pretty good "off the line", but lacks the serious get up and
- go at highway-passing speed. Other than that, it's a great car to drive!
