Finding the 8 that's right for you is a bit like hunting a wild animal -- be patient but always ready to pounce!

It took me 8 months to find the right one for me.
I paid £11,000GBP for an '04 Ti-Grey, 13,000 miles, 5-speed manual back in 2007...

I got it from a dealer who had just bought it back from the couple he sold it too 3 years before. They wanted rid after the warranty had expired.

Dealer through in an extra year of warranty and 4 brand new alloys.

Absolute win for me -- and well worth the wait!

 

while you're looking it never hurts to run a quick online check with the better business bureau regarding a dealer you are considering purchasing from - might help give a "warm fuzzy" (or a "that's BS") feeling about their claims if any sincere or shady business patterns are found.

[i just don't like giving someone thousands of dollars for something having hidden components without knowing a little about the seller]

 

DO NOT BUY A SALVAGED TITLE VEHICLE... you can forget about the warranty from Mazda if the title is labeled "Salvage" for what ever reason...
