New '07 MS3 Owner

[smavrides]

Hello Everyone,

Just purchased an '07 MS3 GT about 3 weeks ago. It came with a full CAI already installed. It appears (according to two mechanics plus my own inspection) that it actually wasn't beaten on though.

I don't know much about the car right now other then it's downright stupid fast, and I love it.

I tried to join another Mazdaspeed forum, but they weren't very friendly.

I'm looking forward to learning new stuff around here.

Thanks!

Doesn't look like it was beaten on? I don't understand how there's any discernible way to tell that unless you look at the tires and how old they are

I guess you could check the spark plugs for how it has been driven.

You might be able to tell if a car has been maintained (ie oil changes, cleanliness, etc), but not the difference between babied and beaten on
