You should probably try Autotrader.com or something of the like. The vast majority of people on this forum already have Mazdas and therefore aren't in the market for one. That's probably why you haven't had offers.

Thank you, captain obvious... But there is that small minority of people who may just be looking for a car, or know someone who is... anyway, the offer still stands...

$8900 for the car as-is.

Ummmm....I was stating the obvious because you seemed shocked that no one put an offer on your car. Nevermind then.

Nothing special, I just spray some diluted degreaser and wash the engine about every other time I wash the car.

I dunno, I'll call a couple places on Monday for a quote.

Hey, a plane ticket would only be $600, followed by a 33 hour drive.

sorry to threadjack but how do u wash the engine bay? mine is a bit dirty and seeing such clean engine bays gives me motivation to clean it. when u mean wash, do u actually spray the engine? lol wouldnt that cause a hydrolock or something? hehe i never cleaned an engine bay b4 so idk haha.

I actually do spray down the engine, just be carefull with the water around the fuse box, alternator and spark plugs.

pre-rinse, spray degreaser, scrub down if necessary, then rinse. don't let the degreaser stay on the paint too long, as it could damage it.

I got a shipping quote today...

$1000 to ship it from cali to MI. It would take about 4-5 days to get there.

Let me know.

Thanks for the offer, but for a $9000 car $1000 is pretty expensive, not to mention buying sight-unseen.

Unless my math is bad, it works out to about 50 cents a mile. Not too bad. Oh well, happy hunting... Hope you can find a car.

Sorry to say it, but this car is no longer available. I'm gonna hold on to her for a little while longer, seeing as how not very many people are interested - at least enough to come up with the cash, and how she's treated me so good since I bought her.

Thanks for the interest, but she remains my baby for now...

NOT SOLD!!!
