I probably won't drop the price considering others with more mileage and not as mint condition are asking for more. But good like to you.

that seems a little high for that. but i found one on craigs today just popped up says to have 94xxx on it with aftermarket wheels. and i guess a upgraded system which i care nothing about. and he is only asking 5000 for the car. i somthing wrong with it? i have seen them go for around 7 at that price. im not into the mazda scene just yet. but have always wanted a msp. is there anything to look for when i go look at the car? any real problem areas with the car?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

ask if he's ever turned the boost up, if so, dont even worry about going to look at it...lol sad but true.

is there a reason. stock internals cant handle more boost? it also says plus more performace parts. what am i looking for on these i did look around seems like most people go with intake mani and bov and fmic.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

My personal opinion, If the boost has been touched, and honestly if its been modded, I wouldnt touch it. Unfortunately the motors on these cars cant handle much additional boost.

well thanks for the info i will keep it in mind. i guess i get what your saying boost turned up=car beat to death

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

Pretty much

Maybe.
I think the concern is more of whether the boost was adjusted within the safe parameters of the engine's abilities to handle it. Questions such as how much the boost was turned up, whether supporting modifications were present, and other considerations would control. Given the number of people who have done so improperly, I think the conclusion you've reached is probably a safe one to go by, though there may be exceptions (cars that were boosted properly).

I'm on the west coast but will be selling my blue 03.5 MSP very soon. 170k untouched.

 

[wantaprotege]
