already read all of them, and i still prefer responses. thank you though.

Get an estimate for fixing the body work. Figure that into the price.

Then you're down to deciding if it's a good deal or not.

Good! I am proud of you! :Peace:

You are already ahead of the game!

Ahaha, yea seems like there's alot to worries but its about maintenance this bad boy. But im pretty good at taking care of my belongings and I don't drive alot but won't let this car sit for to long , and ill use what mazda recommend for oil.. why change. (read the 2000 mile club thread and the guy uses RP or w.e so ill be using that but after the warranty) Wait about 10 mins to start the car up, when going to park let it run and rev it a little to clean any left over gas, all the recalls have been done to this car, all this car needs as far as i no is

new bumper.. (anybody know a good place to get em. searched some vendors on this forum but still couldn't find any stocks.)

break pads

rear tires. (prolly going with goodyear)

(when i get more money buying coils, spark wires, spark plugs)

tires= 180.75 each. (ill get 2 for the back and get 2 more when i get more money)
breakpadsets= front 111.54 set rear 87.30 set (which should I get for now?)
asked a local mazda dealer and thats what they told me. plus 75 an hour i think.

$361.05 for tires
$198.84 for pads.
$559.89 all together plus labor what ever that is plus the bumper...

Does this sound about right? how should I tell this guy to go lower? ( how much money should I pull out and offer him after saying its going to needs tires/pads and new bumper. is there neway you guys would go about doing this to make him go down? id love to hear it!!!)

Thanks in advance.
