I have been looking for a car and today I ran across a 2003 Madza 3 with 190000 miles on it... I am wondering what would be the top price you would pay for this car in great condition????

 

Don't think Mazda 3's existed in '03. '04 was the first year wasn't it? Before that they were Protege's.

 

Yes, they did, but not in the United States. We were one of the last countries to see the then new 3 and the new 6 also, which actually came out in Europe and Japan in '02 while we still had the Protégé and 626.

And Gray, 190k is a lot of miles for any vehicle you are not personally familiar with. I'm not sure I would be comfortable taking that leap.

 

Agreed; great condition or not, 190K miles is a lot, and no matter how good a car is, things (bad things) can start happening at around 200K. Before I would even consider it, that car would have to have service records going back al the way to '03.

 

Thanks... I may have the make or year wrong... I was worried about the miles... Thanks everyone... I guess I will keep looking...
