Talking Finally did it...

After "lurking" around this site for almost a year, I went and purchased a Velocity Red 8 with the Grand Touring Package, MT, and Black /Red leather interior. It was a demo (4K on the odo) driven by the wife of the owner of Valley Mazda-San Luis Obispo. I was assured that the 600 mi break-in proceedure was adhered to, and other than some small garfs on the outer edge of one of the front rims, the vehicle is immaculate!! The dealership was awsome...MSRP was $31,800, I got them down to $27,896 and got $4k trade-in for the Contour (100K mi on the odo). Picked up the extended premium warrantee for $1250...all for $0.0 down!!!

Thanks to this site, this is the most informed/relaxed car purchase I've ever made!!

Anyways, back to reading the owners manual... :D

Hey...

Congrats and welcome to the club of club's!! Has it had the ECU update? Is it up on it's recall's? I am assuming so, if bought at a dealer, however you should check.

PM me if you need to know how to assertain if the ECU is updated or just search the threads.

Enjoy....

Awesome. Now you don't have to go through the restraint of babying the car. Just rock out on it.
