Buying Help (2013 Mazda3 i sport sedan 4d @100k mi)
Hi All,
Glad to have joined the forum and hoping I'll be here for some time to come.
This is my first post and have done my due diligence, still if I make any mistakes please let me know.
So, I'm here to get some advice/input from you all about a 2013 Mazda 3 i Sport Sedan 4D which caught my eye on Facebook. Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...5477187268089/
Some key points about the vehicle reported by the seller:
- Clean title, 100k miles, Automatic Transmission, no accidents, 28 service records, 2 owners, no mechanical issues.
I bought a report on FAXVIN, but it was kinda old since it showed odometer rating of 58k miles. I'll get a CARFAX report if the car seems like a good option to buy.
My questions and concerns:
- I know Mazda is generally reliable. My friend has one and I love driving it. But still, any particular things I should look for in this model year ?
- 100,000 miles on the odometer.. what kind of future maintenance issues and cost are gonna be there? I need to own it for at most 2 years.
- in summary, does this look like a solid and legit option to consider?
My use case:
- Daily basis, just commuting to the gym. I work from home so no added commute there.
- Maybe some road trips (500 mi) every 4-5 months. Some of it might involve hill driving.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's advice and experiences. Even if I don't end up buying it I'll still gain some knowledge.
Thanks.
