Really close to buying a 5

[BouMazda5]

Tomorrow (in the early afternoon) we are most likely closing the deal on a Mazda5. Are there any problem areas we need to have checked out?

I am going to get the vehicle inspected by another dealer just to be safe. The car had a minor bump in the rear bumper with some half-baked bodywork. The dealer took another $500 off the price so the deal will be:

2008 Touring, 46K miles, Silver, $10,500.

What do you think? Seems like a pretty good deal to us, thanks for your input!

Checked the transmission fluid? Some have reported it being BLACK.

Thanks for the help, I did have the tranny fluid checked and it was darker but they told me that Mazda uses darker fluid?

For 10500, have the fluid changed and buy a warranty. Sounds like a great deal. Congrats.
