Hey from WA

[Ms Mazda]

Hi All

I'm a long time Mazda fan but a newbie MPS fan in need of advice.

I'm currently on the hunt for a Mazda6 MPS. The choices that I have narrowed down are 2006 - 2007 models ranging from about 44,000 to 60,00 kms.

My question is, are there any common problems or bugs that I should look out for with them or any problems that usually present themselves around the magic 100,000 km mark?

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome and help guys

blackbetty, unfortunately a lot of the examples of the pre 2006 model either had quite high km's or they had spent a lot of time in the harsh sun. There are plenty great ones around but I'm after a red or a black one which narrows the options quite a bit!

[blackbetty]

well you cant go wrong with red or black good luck in finding one

theres a red one (with leather/sunroof/bose)at Wangara. theyve dropped the price down quite a bit.
theres also a red one at John Huges Park Ford but has some damage to the rear bumper (grey plastic)

theres some black ones in bentley auto but done over 100K kms

i know this as i went through all 9 for sale...picking up my silver one today(hopefully)

and yeah great bunch of folks here (i only joined abt a week ago)

[Ms Mazda]

Yeah the red one at Wangara is on the short list

Had a look at the one at John Hughes but it didn't have the sunroof and leather option so I was a bit aprehensive about it. I had no idea there was damage to the bumper though so that one might be out.

Thanks

when i went 2 weeks ago the wangara one was $31K
in this weeks paper theyve lowered it to around $28-27K now...and the sales people called me this week but i had a lready signed mine off.

yeah the one at John Hughes has damage on the grey plastic part (the bit that surrounds the exhaust tips) i took pics of it but deleted them so cant show ya...but they wouldnt fix it before sale and they apparently cost $450 per side to fix. boo

on another note...ive just come back from picking up my liquid silver MPS!
