Lookout, there's a new 5 in town!

Well, not yet, but I should have it in a couple of weeks. Bought it off of ebay (screwy) I know, I know, but I think I did get a rather good deal. This will be my 1st vehicle I've ever had shipped, so let's keep our fingers crossed. We were needing a 3rd row vehicle, and seeing as how I'm a cheapbastard of course, I'm lookin for the best mileage I can get. I just wished Mazda would bring the diesel model over so we can get some of that!

So, of course, being a new owner, I'm gonna have a few questions, so I'll try not to ask too many without searching, I may be new to the 5, but not internet forums, I know how you e-thug bullies can be! (hah) (wedge)

So I bought a 06 Touring model with all the options but leather I think. Even got that fancy schmancy navigation system. Car has just under 74k miles on it, so hopefully it's just gettin broke in for me. So I'm gonna poke around a bit, and see if I can answer some of my questions before askin you kind folk.

Btw, this will not be my 1st Mazda, I'm still drivin my 97 Mazda B2300 pickup with 223k miles on it. Never had ANY major work done, what so ever. Still on the factory clutch. (breakn)

Let's hope this 5 does just as good.

how much did you get it for? and welcome to the forum!

I got it for $8000, but it's gonna cost me $500 to ship it, so I'll have a total of $8500 in it. (nana)

. . . This will be my 1st vehicle I've ever had shipped, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

I recommend you ask the seller to take photos of the car after it has been loaded on the trailer, and then forward them to you so you can have them in your hands when the car arrives.
