Oh yeah, I live in Columbus, Ohio.  the dealer is Kelly Motors
(614)471-2277.  If you want to obscene phone call the evil dealer.
This dealer is a Mazda dealer.  On top of asking (demanding?) about
$3500-6000 over book, they offered me about $2500 under book for my
Protege.  In consoling me they said that the Mazda's don't hold value like
the Vanagons.  Odd thing for a mazda dealer to day, I thought.
