Very nice find! Same color as mine. Mine's an auto and, at 94k miles, not nearly as pristine.
I saw in one of your earlier posts that you were considering doing a compression test to establish a baseline. Rather than go to the dealer or buy a gauge, you might want to rent one. I just recently rented the RCTV5.2 for $58 and it was well worth it. Verified that mine needs rebuilt like, NOW. I don't see the service offered on rotorcompressiontester.com's website but if you search on ebay for "10 day rental, Mazda rotary compression tester" you'll find it. You may already be aware of this option and, if so, disregard.
Congrats on the great find!

Welcome to the forum, EarlyS2. Mine has been performing so well I've decided not to worry about a compression test right now. It fires right off cold or hot.

Yours is practically brand new. If its driving well and making good power it will test well anyways.
