Default 07 mazda3 don't know if I sould buy

Hi there,

I'm after some advice. I really like the look of this mazda3 that we are interested in buying from a car dealer. It's really great condition, drives well, good interior and exterior.

Only problem being it's got 90000 on the mileage.

The price is $8000, is this a good deal? we are only looking to put 15000 a year on mileage

Any advice would be greatly excepted. Thank you.

Pls see the link below for car

Why do you pay $8k to a plastic car? Mazda3 interior start creaking on day one. You can find a BMW 3 for the same price at the same mileage. And a 2000 3 will be more advanced than a 07 mazda3. It will be day and night. I had to drive mazda3 for a week when they hit my millenia. It was brand new but I can stand driving it. My 130k miles millenia drives much better. New doesnt always mean better.

I dont know why people want this segment of cars so much pumping the price up.

Here the Mazda 3 is regarded as one of the best handling in the class, and build quality is acceptable if not up to par with pre 2001 Mazdas. Main concern is rust. Check doors, wheelarches and areas where stone chips occur.
I don't know about prices, but agree with Saint the Millenia is a vastly better car for the same money or less. Not least regarding quality of build.
