soooo i may be buying an older mazda3
 

so due to monetary reasons and my insurance will be going down 150 a month i may be selling the 08 GS and buying an 04 GT. plus the car will be all paid off. but im not sure yet still kinda figuring out but im thinking this may be best. car only has 108,800 KMS on it looking for 10, 450$ not too bad

RE: soooo i may be buying an older mazda3
 

What do you estimate your 08 is worth? What's the ODO reading on the 08?

And aren't you moving to Bermuda?

RE: soooo i may be buying an older mazda3
 

reading o nthe odometer is at 52000 KMS and no im there next year. im gonna work for a year so yea. plus this will save me aloooot of money

32K miles in a year and a half? Holy crap you drive a lot.

RE: soooo i may be buying an older mazda3
 

That is a lot. I average 10-10.5/yr (16-16.8K kms) or less than half that.
According to the listing you posted, the car has 139,000kms (86,000 miles.) At 32K kms/year, how long do you think the 04 will last you and how much will it be worth then?
I'm all for getting a HB Jaimie. I love mine and think you know that, but fuel mileage will be less and the car already has 139K on the clock!!
$9999.00 CDN is currently equivalent to $9,659.00 USD, guys.A rough estimate of what mine might be worth w/it's mileage (42,200 miles) is $11,000USD.

yea i have decided against it just cuz the car was sold like two hours later. i took the drive there and it was sold i was soo pissed but thats just gods way of telling me to keep my car i guess. LONG LIVE THE MAZDA3 2008. but also i have lots of work to do with it so yea. and plus with my work i drive constantly. and also random driving

RE: soooo i may be buying an older mazda3
 

Well, whatever the reason, I think that's a wise decision.
I love the look of the earlier 3, their round fog lights, their softer looking (painted) front end/grill and colored interior fabric(sorry 07+ owners) but thatone didn't seem to me/us like such a goodidea for your circumstances.
I'll bet it had the same interior as mine does though? Did you ever see that one in person? Did it have theblack/blue or black/red seat fabric?

RE: soooo i may be buying an older mazda3
 

my in terior is not coloured :S. and yea it had leather it had a sunroof it had the works it was fulllllly loaded and i mean fully loaded

RE: soooo i may be buying an older mazda3
 

Except for the Doors and the Piano black the interior on my Brothers 05 is the same as my 08.5Richard, Black with red Stitching in the fabric itself.

RE: soooo i may be buying an older mazda3
 

Yessir, those are the main differences.That and the HVAC control knobs which are plainer in the early cars.
Mine has the blue, which I doprefer over the the red though I could"ve lived w/it. It wasoffered in only the white, blue (Strato only, not WinningIIRC)and yellow cars of 04.
