Traded 05' Focus zx3 for ms3

[ohioan]

The ms3 doesn't have nearly as much power. The handeling of the ms3 is almost par with the fofo too. (cricket)

of course you all konw i'm kidding, right?

I absolutely love the ms3 and have been wanting it since it came out. I belong to the Focusfanatics.com forum and it's a really good forum, but want to familiarize myself with this one too. I've tried to get on a few other 3 forums, but they aren't very responsive and don't seem as upkept as you would want (I guess).

I want to try to keep the Mazda as stock as I can
I got it from a kia/mitsubishi dealer. The advertized it as a sport model and it was the grand touring(mj).

I owed $2250 on the focus.
They gave me $3500 for it.
They sold me the mazda for $16,500
I think it was a good deal (drive2)

My new baby! (10)

Old car covered in snow

What year speed is it?

 

[ohioan]

Sorry, should have included all that...

It's an 07 with 38,000 miles (high, but I drive that much anyway...)

 

[my3needsaname]

Yea that seems pretty good to me.
It's only a 3 year old so that's about 10,250/year give or take some. Pretty close to the money.

Yes welcome as well, I too came from a 03 ZX3.

Congrats! Even with a few miles, that seems like a decent deal. And even if you're plannig to keep it stock, the suggestion to do the motor mount upgrades is probably pretty sound advice.

Hey ohioan, welcome to the Mazda community. I also came from a '03 focus ZX5, and was on focusfanatics too. This is a big improvement over focus, hope you like it as much as I do.

And you got the right color!
