Hello all. I'm in the market for a Mazdaspeed 3 and found a white one with black wheels in Englewood at a Toyota dealership. Anyone know who owns this car and could provide a bit of background?

Thanks!

Any photos of it to help us figure out if we know the previous owner? Welcome to the club too!

My red MS3 is still for sale at Phil Long Chapel Hills. 2009 with 22k miles for $19,988. Pennzoil Platinum every 3k miles and it already has a downpipe, short shifter, oil catch can, and upgraded high pressure fuel pump (about $1k in mods).

Looks like it was owned in Florida & Wisconsin,
Double-check the mileage, carfax says it has 62k versus the 52k the dealer lists...

I would pay no more than $16k for that car because of the mileage...

the guy use to be in the mazdaspeed forums i talked to him a little bit he took all of the parts off of the car before he sold it i believe i would go with erods car though i can tell you that car was beat all 50k of those miles

Dealers kill me. It's listed as a standard 3 with a 5 speed ect. I mean really, how do they expect to sell to anyone who let's say doesn't quite know what an MS3 is? It's sad when dealers can't get their own inventory specs down right.

yeah a lot of them have that problem... I've seen so many MS3 sports listed as GT's when they weren't, even remember seeing a Mazda 3 Sedan listed as a speed...

It's crazy. This one in particular is even worse. According to them it's a "Grand Touring Sport" lol. I guess you get it all with this particular Mazda3, errr Speed3?

customer: "Is it turbo?"
dealer: "Is that good?"
customer: "yea, turbos are teh awesome!"
dealer: "sure is kiddo"

How hard it is to look under the hood and see the intercooler staring back at you? Do these monkeys even bother to inspect what they buy? I really hate dealers.

I wonder why it went from Silver to White????
I think I would pass on this one unless the Dealer can give good answers.
Yeah.....Right!!

I would guess no. A salvage title has to be deemed so by an insurance agent, basically beyond the point of repair.
