Need help in the process of selecting a p5

That is when Mazda recommends the timing belt be changed. Everybody usually changes the water pump right away since you are right there at it it. Some people have had problems with the timing belt earlier, and others are 50,000+ miles past due to change... its a ll luck (or lack there of).

If the timing belt hasn't been changed yet, try that as a talk down point on the price.

There are a few other things that should be changed while you are working on this. These items usually come up around $200-$300 depending on where you get them.

Well I spent the weekend trying to set up a date to go take a look at the car.. and even though he says he is a dealer, it is not really from a dealership location that i could just come look at it.. it is a person that is a licensed dealer.. anyways, I didn't get to see it.. so Fukc it! I am not going to beg somebody to buy their car..

I am still on the hunt for a p5.. or a car period..
