Well lets try this again as the site messed up when I went to post the last one.

Anyways, I do not own a Mazda, rather a gas guzzling custom Dakota, which I am selling due to driving 500+ miles a week. My girlfriend has a 06loaded hatchback 6, and I love it. I found an 04 6 s, hatchback with 81K, bose, heated leather, blah blah blah. I was doing some research (I know domestic, but nothing about foreign cars), and came across some concerning reviews. A couple people have had problems with the 03 and 04's transmissions. One guy had his serviced at 35K, another had his replaced at the same mileage, then back in the shop to be serviced at 42K. Is this a common problem?

Is there anything to look for or at when looking over this car? The lady is asking $11,000 for it, KBB says at good condition 10,600. What would be a good starting offer?

Thanks for any of the upcoming help, and hopefully I will be driving it home and be more active on this forum!
