So I'm going to pick up my MZ3 tomorrow.

Hey guys... I've been reading the forums for a while now, and looking at Mazda 3's for even longer. Finally found, and purchased one.

I'm going up to the dealer tomorrow to pick up my MZ3.

2006, MZ3 GT with 16000 miles... picked it up for 16.3 after taxes and tags and everything.

Anything I should know as far as things that need/should be done/replaced before I consider doing anything to it?

I would just say make sure all TSB's have been done and that everything is in order before you drive it away. Then start the search for everything mazda!!! Oh yea!!!
BTW, Galaxy Gray FTW!!
(drive2)(have fun)

Well I already drove away, and I haven't found anything wrong with it yet.

Want to give it a bath ATM but it's almost 100 out.

How do I check to see if all TSB's have been addressed? Run a carfax?

 

[my3needsaname]

Ask the dealer for the service records. They should hand them over and it should say in there.
I don't like carfax cause you never know what could've happened and it keeps secrets I most likely don't want to know out of my head.

just FYI, TSBs aren't guaranteed to be addressed. That's at the discretion of the dealership. Recalls however have to be addressed. Like my3needs said..... ask the dealer for a printout of service records on your car.
