No longer just a browser, now an owner
Have done a crap load of reading on here over the last few months, and I feel it helped me make a very educated decision on the car I chose. The only thing I did not end up doing was having the compression checked, but after driving it for about 5 hours straight in 25-30degrees, it started instantly both cold and hot.
Has 64000kms, 2007. Has navigation, mazdaspeed CAI, and the nice mazdaspeed forged magnesium wheels. Only negative is that its gonna need a new front bumper and has 4 or 5 dents and dings.
Its never been in an accident and never needed any work done apparently. Said hes never had a single issue with it, and other than the dings, he took very good care of it.
Only thing is that its an Ontario car and I still need to get it inspected for BC. Has some dealer installed tint on the windows that I would rather not be forced to take off so we will see how that goes!
Sorry that the photos arent mine.. I will get some nice ones up when I can wash the bugs off of the front!
Already did a few DIY's today and cleaned the MAF and filters.

Welcome, hopefully it'll serve you as well as mine does me. Never kept a car longer than three years, but the 8 was an exception and I still have mine after 6 years. I've since bought two new cars, but I won't sell my 8.
Get the paintless dent removal (maybe $300), a mazdaspeed front (though hard to find), and you're good.
