Advice on Buying a MS3

[KH06]

Im buying a MAZDASPEED3 In the next few weeks, and im in a little dilema. I found an 07 one for 16500 with 4k miles on it. It has the MAZDASPEED intake on it already too. It has all the acessories in it too EXCEPT Navi. Does anyone think this is a better deal than buyin a Brand New 08 for 24000ish? whats the diffrences between 08 and 07. THANKS!!

it all depends on how much you are going to save by getting the 07...and there is not much difference only couple lil things

interior color is about it buy the 07 i personally like 07's interior better two tone seats

i would be saving anywhere from 4 grand to 7 grand. I mean 4 thousand miles isnt a lot, but still 50 to 4000 is a big diffrence haha.

go with the used one. those ms intakes are hard to get because they dont make them anymore and the cobb sri are on back order forever. so i think you will be saving yourself time and money by getting the 07

With only 4k on the odometer & a $7k savings, I would go for the '07 & if you don't plan to mod the heck out of it, get an extended warranty with some of the savings.

 

[stockms3]

Yeah if ur going to save that much go with the 07!

the smartest thing is to buy a one year old car, therefore, i highly recommend you by the NEW car!!

The 07 GT sounds like a good deal with that little miles on it. Could be a late 07 prod run and really only be a year old. The 08.5 has the one tone seats, my 08 has two tone seats still. There are NEW 08's (not 08.5) still out there new. You just have to get the dealer to look for you and have it brought in.

Buy the '07 if the price difference is that much.

07' bra

get the carfax on that car...seems like a really low price for an 07 with 4k miles...or is it?

 

[coyfish]

07 in a heartbeat. And you will get a free intake ! (save ya another 300). Its mazdaspeed too so your warranty, if you get one, will be safe.

carfax FTL... they only show what was reported to the previous owners insurance co.

 

[KH06]

Well im actually getting it from one of my good buddies, so i know he has taken good care of it so i dont think carfax is needed. That is also why it is going to be so cheap because he is giving me a deal. But thanks for all the help!!

Insurance rate at Progressive is much better for the 08 than the 07. Difference is $20 per month for me.

 

[KH06]

I got a quote on a 08 from my current insurance and it was like 2300 a year. my own policy too and im only 19

 

[logicalfaith]

Yeah it sucks being 19 and have a need 4 speed.
