Hi Smokie. Price seems about right depending on mileage. Get the Reg number and go to your loacal Mazda dealer, as they can give you a print out of the service history. If there is nothing banging or clanking on the test drive, you will return with a grin on your face and buy the car. They are so much fun on boost. Ali

haha richie you were confident and rightly so!! alis, thank you  i done all that already, its got mazda dealers service up to 46k, then independents onwards and its had the vvti and chain replaced. it needs drop links and bushes at the front, but its getting a fresh years mot at the weekend off the garage and they will be replacing them for me! It was scary how fast the thing was, and how suddenly the power came on, on boost! gave my old boy a bit of a fright and hes drove scoobies etc! Now the proud owner of a mazda 3 mps!!!
