Very good deal if it's clean, especially if the recalls were done in a timely fashion. Welcom to the club!

looks good man, you may actually be able to get it a little lower in price. Make sure to negotiate.

i talk to them today, we said we'd pay that price no haggling, if they shipped it to us for free. (im in houston tx!!!!) and they said okay for now and thanks for that, i'll remind them to do all the services!!!!


ahhh i can't wait. been searching for forever!

oh you're right those do look like mazdaspeed rims!!! yip a its a bonus!

EDIT: those might not be mazdaspeed rims from what i've researched they only come in gold and gunmetal, and thats SILVER they are probably ASA JH8's http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...Picture028.jpg

so you are buying the car without even looking it over and test driving it first?

I've had a car delivered to my house before. But the sale was still dependent upon my inspection and test drive. Signed the papers at my kitchen table. It was a very nice way to buy a car.

cousin yelled at me to buy it, he test drove it, and said nothing was out of the ordinary, but he did say that the cosmetic was 10/10 looked as if it just came outta the factory.

and for non ms wheels

is there anything i should be concerned about?i asked them about the service bulletins, and they said they will get back with me. anything else i should be concerned about as to purchasing used?

(does the warranty transfer over to a new driver btw?)

Yes, the warranty transfers. The only other thing to be worried about, other than compression, is whether or not someone else may come along and buy it out from under you. Not too likely these days.

bro check the carfax report dude, I looked at the initial and it had 5 records, make sure this isnt a flood car, a rebuild from a wreck or anything. Not something I would want, I will go pay 30 grand for a new one before I buy a POS man. If nothing than you got a good deal because I payed 21 grand for my 05 and it had 17k miles on it with an included VSC.

And just because he test drove it doesn't mean it's good. Not discrediting him or anything but drive it yourself. This sounds fishy for such low mileage...

I'm just saying, don't hit the ground running for a car as it seems the OP is. I'm really **** when I buy a car as I want it to last as long as it can and having any previous issues doesn't help. Unless your buying new, then who cares, if it's a lemon you can get another one.

I took mine into Mazda for full inspection before buying. Came out healthy as a horse and I felt better about buying it. I'd reccomend this for any used car purchase.

Yeah thats what I did and when they told me that one of my front brake rotors where fine I told them I wasn't buying the damn thing and they put a new one on. I mean come on the damn thing had a gash all the way around it. I don't know how the old lady did that who owned it previously but geezus, for a Department of Public Safety lady she didn't know how to drive a car.
