what to look for

i am looking at this one currently.
http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/ctd/1664449422.html
i will be purchasing the extended warranty as extended as it can be possibly streched, i just am uneasy about having to take it to a mazda dealer or the like of this mom and pop service depot to have ALL my maintaince done to keep the waranty in tact.
i love doing maintaince. its the repairs im sick of.

so i ask what to look for, haggle with test or scrupilate.
if it seems fishy i can move on without emotional attachment it seems to be the best advice i get, (get picky)

please advise

is it auto or manual? the title says Auto but the pictures show manual, either it's a typo or I'm missing something here....

don't worry it's not gonna be 5 speed manual transmission... lol

forget about the jugs, you have work to do...

compression test would be nice but I doubt you will be able to do it yourself, I don't think you have to worry about that (for now)

here is a useful info on the Extended Warranty, pros and cons ------> http://www.stretcher.com/stories/01/010430a.cfm
