mazdaspeed protege for mazda6

[turbomsp2003]

I own a mazdaspeed protege and was just offered a trade for a 2006 mazda6 v6 with 160k miles running perfect everything 10/10 my msp has 100k miles and runs well with everything in average of 8/10....my question is if this a worth while deal or if I should just stick with my mazdaspeed? And also if theirs anything I should look for in the mazda6 any common probs?

Unless you need a larger vehicle I don't Seder why you would want to trade for a car with 60k more miles than your current ride. Especially for a car with an unknown history, if your msp had been reliable I wouldn't trade it. Who knows what kind of work that 6 may need, it's certainly old enough that everything could need replacing.

Those cars have PLENTY of problems. Mainly the oil pan, timing cover and valve covers always leak, the water pumps fail, the motor mounts fail they are far less reliable than a stock or close to stock MSP.
