New and Totaled my Car

[GrEeNxEyeZz]

Now that i got your attention. Well after an accident totalling my previous car and fighting a long heated battle, I walked out friday just looking for new cars. Had my heart set on the MAzda 3. Quoted 20,700 (before tax and lisencing)

I was like uh, thats the sticker price. Talked to the fleet manager cause of my insurence company AAA. Walked out with a Black Mica Mazda3 S Fully loaded. ABS/Sport Package/Xenon Headlights Moonroof/6CD changer, Cloth with Red. Dunno what else was on it, but O DO I LOVE IT!!!!

Walked out with it being 19.200 before tax/lisencing

Got it for 3.9% being only 20 i think that is also a very wonderful thing.


Whats NExt?!?!?!

Also i notied the other day, it looks like the inside of my front tires, there is like a "rust" color on the rotors is it? (the aluminum disc that holds the breaks)

Is this normal?!?! it was driven from san bernadino down to southern california, but should it bethere? should i go back and say something about it?

thanks!!

the rust is still there after driving the car?

 

[GrEeNxEyeZz]

well its an auto too thats why the price was higher....

ive only had it 3 - 4days only like 300 miles on it,. but yeah its sitll there

well sometimes rotors get a rust look after being rained on, but once you brake a few times while driving it usually goes away, i would take it back to the dealer if that s*** doesn't go away. also check the pads.

ok, Disc Brakes 101.

Unless you paid 500 a rotor, disc brake rotors are made out of iron or steel. They all rust. (freak)

 

[GrEeNxEyeZz]

yes i know they RUST but why is it rusted before i even drove it 1000 miles is what i am saying=/

if you have ever washed your car yourself before, its clearly visible that your once clean rotor disks are rusted right after you wash you car. it doesnt take years to rust, it takes minutes.

If it's on the center part of the hub, like the part right around the lugnuts, it's normal. You might want to say something to the dealer about it, because they replaced a bunch of MSP rotors for rust problems. Mine aren't too bad, so I let it go without a complaint. If it's concerning you though, better to bring it to their attention sooner than later.

also i have a little nick on my steering wheel...and it buggs me andi dontknow how it got there...like the leather is "ripping" off a little bit...like...1/16thof an inch and id ontknow if i should pull it off and get left with a small "grey" mark or try and glue it back down to bring it to their attention when i go back for my security lock

warranty claim??

 

[sndsgood]

that will be a hard claim. chances are they will just say that u probalb nicked the steeringwheel yourself.

 

[alexlitov]

premature wear??

some people with MP3 had that happen on their shifters and steering wheels....not sure about the nick though.

Were they able to get it fixed? i mean i havent had the car a week and i already noticed this, and i have been like 10000000000000000000x careful with it treating it like a million dollars....i know for sure i didnt do it?

 

[alexlitov]

yeah, the dealer replaced it. I think it wore off too fast...
