Hey all,
been lurking for a while but gonna jump right in.. I'm looking to buy a 2008 Mazda 5, 5 Speed, Price guy is offering me is $4000. test drove it and it drives ok But has the clunking when hitting bumps..this is he 3rd 5 i've test drove and all of them make the same noise. I think its the swaybar bushings, seller replaced the front struts thinking that would solve the clunking.
anyway, the vehicle has 185,000 miles, the body is fine..small dents here & there and scratches...interior needs a good cleaning as well as engine bay, I saw no obvious leaks, the engine sounded good and pulled pretty good thru all the gears.
is it worth buying a high mileage 5? Its definitely an auction car (the seller told me), i'm waiting for the vin results to come back
