Greetings from Spain!!:
Hello everyone!! I am writing this thread because I’m interested in buying a 2015 CX-9. In Spain were sold just 100 units. Its price brand new was 42000 €, about 50000$. Now they are priced at about 19000 €, 23000$. Yes, cars in Spain are much more expensive than in the USA, I am very envious of you ))). My other car is a Mazdaspeed 6, so I'm used to the brand.
I have read a lot of threads in this forum and they have left me more worried than calm, I will expose my conclusions to see if you can confirm that they are right. The two most important problems with this car are the transfer and the water pump.
Regarding the transfer, the problem is that being between the engine and the exhaust manifold, the oil gets very hot, degrades, and loses lubricating properties, which causes the failure. This problem can be avoided by changing the transfer oil every 30000 miles... correct?
Regarding the water pump... it is not rare for it to fail, and the problem is that it’s behind the timing chain, so the leaking liquid mixes with the oil and ends up breaking the engine. What can be done?... check the engine oil every 3000 miles?...
But the question I have, since it's not clear to me, is.... how many CX-9 have these problems?... is it sure that all of them sooner or later will fail in these points?... how many miles are the most suitable for the failures to occur?
My idea is to buy one with 70000 kms, about 45000 miles, and the first thing to change the transfer oil and coolant. Transmission oil will also be changed, I guess.
This is the one I like the most of those sold in Spain:

But it's in Barcelona, and now you can't travel to many places in Spain, so I found this one near my home:

So that's my life ... Any important advice before the purchase?
Thanks in advance and very good forum!
