Mazda 6 Mps 100,000km

[skeino]

Hi there new to the forum, On sunday I am going to look at a 2005 6 mps so far it looks great, however I do understand looks can be deceiving. Can anyone give me any tips on what I should be looking for when checking out the car mechanical wise? The car has 100,000km but only one owner. he wants $15,500 for the car

Take straight down to a mechanic who works on these cars,they can suffer from smokey turbo syndrome, timing chain and VVT issues.

thanks guys, i am taking a mechanic from lube mobile and my partners father has a 6 mps which is well looked after so am taking that for comparison, however i will try get someone who works on them to have a look at it

btw does the asking price of 15500 sound reasonable for this car with this many kms, its the non leather pack also i am more interested in the engine of the mps rather then luxury features

Very important to take to a mechanic that knows these cars, lubemobile are too generic,what state u in.

About right price, have a look on car sales in canberra there is a clean MPS6 the guy has pumped heaps of money into it selling 16000 will probably take less.not over the top mods too.

Don't be put off with a car with mods , these cars can take some punishment, as long as it has a good tune to supplement the mods.

I paid $17,000 for a 2005 lux pack mps6 with 88,000 on the clock

He had it for $20,000

Hope that helps

A little tip, make sure car is cold when u test drive, when u first turn the key and it sounds llikes diesel car for a second walk away from deal.

Fark that, you know it's either a VVT actuator or stretched timing chain, both cost the same amount in labor to replace - Use the noise as a negotiating tool, hack $3000.00 off the price, get it fixed for $1500 - $2000.00 and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
