Already checked the fuses and they are all good.

Lastnight A friend of mine was going to put a stereo in my car. I have a 2004 Mazda 3s. We were going to put a amp and subs in the back. This was a disaster from the beginning with many signs of not to do it. Half way through I'm looking at my dash lights and all the idiot lights are on when...

I bought my 3 last year and just got it out of winter storage. Wanted to know others thoughts on the system I will be putting in this saturday. I am going to leave the factory HU in with all factory speakers. I think the factory stereo sounds pretty darn good in my opinion. By the way I have...

Congratulations and welcome. I also have a titanium gray. Love the car and color. Doesn't show dirt like a black car and is not as light as silver!

I got a 3s out the door with all the options except the Navigation for $22,281 basically they dropped a total of $600 off for me. They are in high demand and only had two in the state and one was already sold.

I was told by many great mechanics young and old to wait the full 5000 miles before the oil change. I am very fussy with the way I break in my motorcycles and cars. I have approx. 2400 miles on mine now and I will be waiting till the full 5000. The break in oil has special additives and...

Update: Brought my car in and it was just a connection on the alternator that was loose and causing the battery light to go on. I totally forgot to even mention the Xenons. I am getting more use to them now and if still concerned will mention it at my 5000 mile service.

The only issue I would have with it is how those 40 miles were driven. I know that when I go test drive a car I get on the gas a little. Some people beat the absolute s*** out of cars when they test drive them. I would want to know at the very least if a salesman was along with the test...

Hey, Just picked her up lastnight and love it. Just a few questions. First, On my way into work this morning I noticed my headlights in the lowbeam mode are like about only 20feet out in front of the car on the ground. It is set at 0 and I do have the Xenon's. I turned them all the way up...

Wednesday I closed on a deal. Purchased a 4dr S, Sport,leather,ABS,Xenon,Moonroof,automatic. Titanium grey. Wednesday the saleseman told me it was inbound from St. Paul MN. It is being shipped to Milwaukee WI which is about 7 hours away. Today is the delivery date it is suppose to arrive...

I was dealing with a guy at a local dealer and he said he was going to locate one for me. Called back and said he found one exactly the way I want mine equipped but the dealer will not do a trade with him cause they have people lined up to buy this car. Salesman bulls*** or what? He did...

I realize this. I did stop at a dealer and talked and looked over the car with him. Test drove it, really liked it alot. Told him that I want to buy within the next couple of days. I also stated to him I start my dealing at 10% of sticker. So 10% of sticker of $21,665 will be at least...

I know about the whole phone thing, better to go in person. I just wanted to get the ball rolling when at work. I am going to go in person to a dealership or two wednesday and thursday. Wish me luck guys, I get pissed off too easy with the whole dickering of cars. What do you guys think I...

The dealer told me that it is because the car just came out and not alot of room to move. I thought it was robbery also. I am not going to spend 22g's on a car and only get off 500. I will not buy the car if that is the case just out of principal. Thanks for the reply.

First off I would like to say hi to all. I am very interested in buying the Mazda 3s but have no idea what to expect on dealing on one. I called a local dealer yesterday and the best I could get off was like $475.00. I thought that was ridiculous. My dad says he starts dealing on a car with...
