if i can get them to 13000 otd. do you think that would be a good deal? more than i wanted to spend for an 05 but it does have the leather and only 15k miles. i have not seen it yet however. what do you think?

14.9 is a little high for an 05 but the mileage is really good. I got my 05 with 23k miles for 13,500. It's white with black/red interior. One owner too. Im sure you can get it down atleast 1,000

redcopper06

i paid 13.5k for my 06 with 40k miles.

so if you can get this for 13.5k i'd say do it

morssolis

i am shooting for 13k. i can do 13.5 but i would have to think.

morssolis

thanks for the input. i am leaving now. will check this when i get there on my phone

Make sure that they have done all the TSBs and recalls (Upgraded battery and starter, and MSP16=increases the oil level).

morssolis

i could not get them to go below 14k otd. i was about to walk.

i called mazda and it was not sold till may of 06. recalls done.

it has the warranty till may of this year. power train till may of next year. plus of course the engine. the guy at mazda was great. he was giving me tips on the car. when i mentioned about not having oil receipts and just the maintenance on the carfax he said best thing do to is get a oil change right away.

the carfax shows a lot of maintenance. looked to be taken care of well.

the car had few flaws i could see. the inside was perfect beside some scratches on the silver part of the center counsel on passenger side and a mark on glove compartment.

i cant tell what package it has maybe you can help. it has the sport for sure. it has leather power heated seats. sun roof / moon roof. i forgot to check the sound system. i am thinking this is the touring? it does not have the appearance package. just spoiler.

so i bought it. i have to get my cosigner who is out of state to send papers back so i should have it Thursday.

i probably could have got another 500 knocked off but i live 1.5 hours away and i just dint think it was worth it. also it could have sold.

not the deal i was looking for but because it was not sold till 06 the engine has little running time before the important flashes. also the factory warranty really made me buy it. i dont know if starter and battery have been replaced but i guess i could take it to the dealer and get it replaced for free.

i am so happy. i cant wait to take delivery

If it's a gt I think you got a good deal. Edmunds says $12332-$15132. Private party $13794. Dealer sold it cheap. I think the car has to be towed in on a flood before they will replace the battery and starter under the tsb warranty.

morssolis

i can arrange a flooding lol. my friend wants to learn how to drive a manual. i think a few cold stalls with do the trick...

it may have it already i dont know. i will know more after i live with it a few days.

the gt has bose right? i am thinking this does not. what else makes it a gt?

they did not know it was under warranty of any kind. when i told him after i agreed on price his look changed. was kinda funny. he said they could not go any lower then that price and that the old manager was mad at the new one about the price he told me because so many people have been looking at it. i figured it was all lies. maybe not who knows. as i was leaving there was a guy coming to look at it but said it was sold.

they sold it for abut 13k because about 1000 is going to the state.

Ummm im not sure it seems like you have everything that would make it the gt, i think nav comes with the gt but dont quote me on that. I know the gt does come with the Bose sound. But i mean other than that you have what seems like the gt

morssolis

well i know that navi is optional for all trims.

i have read dual heated seats like mine are gt only. so i guess its gt. i have to check the sound system out when i get there. i did not even turn radio on. i know it was dumb but i had a lot on my mind and i was not concerned with the radio.

does the bose have the 6 disks cd changer?

Roaddemon

I have a gt and no Nav. 1 disc player. Check first that the starter and battery have not been replaced. If not, move the car around the driveway cold. let sit a couple hours then pull it in for the night. Don't do the 3-5 rpm high rev shut down. It should flood when you try to start it the next morning. Then, call the dealer and have it towed. They should de- flood, replace the spark plugs, starter and battery under tsb free. They also pay for the tow. Good luck.

Touring comes with Bose, a sunroof and with cloth interior. GT have leather, a sunroof, and Bose.

morssolis

i guess its the GT then. even better.

how can i tell if the battery and starter have been replaced?

Roaddemon

Ask a mazda dealer to check on the computer under your Vin # for tsb's performed. Or, go to mymazda.com
Register your name and Vin # and log on. You will find the entire service history there. You could also take it to a mazda dealer and have them look under the hood.

Razz1

Good Deal. Welcome to da Club!

morssolis

i went to the size and registered the vin. i get no info about that car. it comes up with the color and such but no past work done. where do you find this at. also no warranty info.

Roaddemon

It should be in the left column under service history. Might take a few days for your registration to go through. Try again after you have the car.

Hey sorry to hijack but i have a quick question. I too am looking to buy a used 8. And the site the car is listed on provides a "FREE CARFAX" like yours did. So my question is, how legitimate is this ? The car has a gap between the hood and the bumper thats annoying me but it says no accidents on the carfax. So how legit are these free carfaxs thanks !!
