picking it up for £4495, apparantly its got a full service history, will come with a full service before i drive it away, and a fresh 12 months mot :)

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!!!

hey guys! :D still not picked up my mps yet, it failed its mot on a couple minor things, one of them being the rear light carrier or something like that! Im getting impatient now!

Gav, its possible i might need to do backshift that week, however im open to meeting up at anytime throughout any month to meet people and will make as many meets as i can!

Gogs, i seen it on thursday night parked up in midcalder, first other one i had seen ever in the flesh, apart from the one i went to see, and it automatically got me jelous! Looks soo sweet in red and yours is stunning!

thanks blunty, unfortunately for you guys, yous are stuck with me for at least 3 years ;)
