Default Mazda 6 MPS

Hi all im newww to the forum don't currently own a MPS but hopefully will soon as i have just enquire about one.

Just wondering what i should be looking out for eg. known problems, faults etc.

The one im looking at is an 06 Model silver, Leather Pack, with 60,000ks on the clock.

Sorry if it has been covered but searching is currently taking so long for me as i've already reached the limit on my internet lol.

andd this will be my first carr so really want it to last ages and will be in uni for the next 6 years so wont be able to buy a new car.

ahh yes im nt even a P plater yet but HONESTLY im against hooning and see it being very stupid especially with the new laws thus not worth it, yes yes the MPS is a sports car but really im against hooning, and im definitely not over confident in my skills in driving after all im a begginer=) so please dnt flame=)

thanks in advanceeeeee=)=)

Matto and hope you get your MPS6 soon

Not many problems overall, some more than others, but look for the obvious signs of abuse and make sure the maintenance has been kept up to date as per the service schedule and you should be ok, some threads to look over here.

Also moved this to the new members area and lastly keep an eye on the club cruises section, we have regular meets/cruises in WA, look forward to seeing you and your (soon to be) MPS soon!

Default Under 25K

Non leather pack though, but fair asking price and low mileage.
Problem: Car is in Albany

Hey dude, Another guy eyeing off my Lipstick red hey? I swear unless u man it up a little that colour has defult "womans" car status. Good luck dude, be patient and look at whats on offer in other states, you may get what your looking for cheaper if your willing to have it brought to you on a trailer. Me and Sean flew to cairns to pick his up and we drove it back. 13,000 k's for $28k With 1 year warranty remaining. Well worth it.

Id like to have herd its not your first car, its not always the case but more than likely your going to smush it some how.

But Good luck and i hope you find what your looking for!

Oh pov pack, i wish you could have the SP23 Bucket seats, i hate my mps 6 seats. Its great if you have a larger body cause you actually fit. But if there is not m uch to you its like your sitting on a park bench, no HUG what so ever.
