So I scheduled a service visit to fix it tomorrow. The service advisor - only when pressed - agreed to give me a free loaner (from Enterprise, Mazda will cover it) because we treat this visit as "warranty work", for which Mazda has "Service Transporation Solution" (the free loaner).

I'd run VIN through Carfax or something like that to make sure it hasn't been totaled before (salvage?).
I've also read reports that cars recovered from garages under WTC are showing up at used car dealers. I'm not sure about that new car smell...
Good luck, do your research well!

Do you think there is going to be a blow out sale on the Millenias when the Mazda 6 arrives?
Guess what? Mazda gave me two free tickets for the New York car show,who said Mazda was cheap:).
Thanks
I bought the Platinum Silver, with gray interior, which is beautiful. I also saw it with tan interior, which to me is a complete mismatch, and I don't even see that combination on the color chart. Silver is the most popular of all car colors right now, for a good reason. It looks great, and hardly even shows dust on it. According to a friends son who works at a car wash, it is the easiest color to make look good.
Happy car hunting.
BTW - I am buying an 01 Millenia P. 11k miles super clean. Great value versus the Camry or Accord.
And like you say, who cares about the depreciation with the prices we paid for ours. You'll also be able to find it in the parking lot next time you go to the mall. It will be the one that stands out from all the Camcords and Taurus'.
I've always thought the Milennia was a nice car but never pulled the trigger. After reading the very favorable comments from many owners on this board I think I have to seriously look at this car when my lease is up this fall. I imagine as desirable as the deals are now they could well be even better then. Has anyone seen the Special Edition. It's black with a black and ivory interior and sounds like it may be a real looker.
Depreciation has to be basically irrelevant (unless I decide to lease) since the car is being sold 7-8k below sticker. By next fall maybe even 9-10k.
I'm psyched on two fronts. This appears to be a great car with great reliability, styling and equipment and buyng a new $29,000 car for $21,000 or their abouts has to be awesome.
I had the lights on and when I press the fog light switch the lights come on but go off when I release the button. So they do not stay on.
Can anyone shed light on this?
thanks
Mileage/price/trim/color,etc..
11,400 miles built 4/01
Price...Hard to quantify. I traded a 99 Accord EXVL Cpe with 41k + $5k.
Edmunds trade on the Accord around $13.7
I feel ok about it, maybe could have done slightly better.
I am in KS and there is not a huge supply of this type of car here.
I just purchased a used 2001 Millenia. I have been investigating the features and it would appear that my fog light switch is faulty.

Just turn it to the on position. The fogs only come on with low beams, not alone. If you leave the switch on they will come on with low beams, and off with high. If you turn the switch off, they will of course not work at all. They don't shine brightly out front, so you won't notice them from the drivers seat unless you turn them off and back on when it is dark and look down at the front corner, or walk around front and see how cool they look.
I leave my switch on all the time, because I like the way they look with the low beams.
thanks
KW1964 where did u purchase your vehicle?
Would luv to go to your dealer and buy at same price as you.
Is it true that you can get 1.9% financing on '02 Millenia plus the $5,000 off of dealer invoice?
Please give me assistance w/ my purchase.
Its hard for me to believe that a brand new '02 Millenia "P" will be selling at about $19K in a few months.
Does anyone have an opinion on this matter or perhaps some reliable info about how steep Mazda's discount will be towards the fall.
Please be kind to share any thoughts on this matter.

Also the body sills were beefed up in '01, which added rigidity to the body. Less flex.
Even in the start/stop traffic, actually more of a parking lot, that lasted 50 miles, I still managed over 20MPH. I normally get about 27 highway, with an overall average of over 22.

And click on the Special Edition link next to the Quick Facts.
it's a supercharged, high compression engine - premium required, otherwise you'll kill it with knock.

The service advisor wanted to know if I was totally satisfied and when I said yes, he asked to give them all 10s on customer satisfaction survey that Mazda will be sending my way. Ah, the wonders of motivation...

I think
- Millenia will be replaced in 2003 by RX8
- 626 will be replaced in 2003 by Mazda 6 (they got realy creative here)
And yes, Millenia P has the same engine as V6 626. And no, I - personally - didn't prefer 626. It is smaller, much narrower, completely different interior, different vehicle class. So I got Millenia S for 26K in July '01.
Tomek
To answer your "why" question, I will use another "why" question. Why would anyone prefer an ES300 to a Camry, or an I35 to a Maxima. Primarily it is the luxury factor, plus you can steal the Millenia right now if you have any bargaining ability at all.
The Millenia also has a better frequency of repair record than a 626.
