2008 Mazda 3s Sport Hatch....should I buy it?

[kybackpacker]

So I am new to Mazdas and am used to driving Toyotas and VWs mostly. I found a 2008 Mazda 3s Sport hatch with only 9k miles on it. They are currently asking $15k but I am pretty sure I can get them lower. Anything I should look out for with a 2008 with miles this low? What would be a good out the door price on this model? It is a one owner car and the carfax is clean. It is rally white and I think the interior is grey cloth but the pics aren't that great.

Thanks for the help!

You will not regret buying a 3! 9000 miles on an 08 is low miles there should be no issues to worry about. As far as price goes, I can only suggest getting onto Kelly Blue Book site. Good luck!

What is it with so few responses on this forum?

For $15k there are so many options... check out a MKV GTI too. A turbo poor-man's BMW but the torque compared to the 3 is just awesome, if you've not sampled this car before.
The Mazda 3 is a fun car no doubt, but it just kinda blends in (my 2 cents as a 3 owner and driver of a GTI often)

No way!?!?

Was the car in Louisville at Cross Jeep? Was it white?

If yes I have something funny to say...

I bought it. Sitting out in my parking spot right now. Amazing car.

I am afraid to ask... but why didn't you get it?
