Day 1: 6am Flight to Coolangatta Previous owner picked us up from the airport, and we went back to his house to carry out the inspection.
All went well, nothing really wrong with car, some tiny things like:
deep 2" scratch on bonnet
cigarette lighter socket doesnt work
window squeals when going up or down
antenna broken
non-original floor mats
So yeah nothing to cry about.
On the other hand, service history is to die for, 100% dealer serviced on time at a mazda dealer with genuine mazda parts that are oem genuine replaced at a mazda dealer.
Log books stamped and itemised bills stating everything.
genuine mazda water pump!
and amazingly a genuine mazda softtop + rainrail!
Really well looked after and 110% stock, which was exactly what I was after.
Unfortunately there was some issues with the REVS/PPSR check as it was listed as Encumbered due to finance owing on it.
I overcame that by having a chat to the finance company on the phone and getting their bank details to to a direct transfer to them for the exact amount owing.
After all the money and paper work changed hands, set off for the drive home.
Roof down and big smiles
Spent 1 night in Port Macquarie with family.
Day 2: 7L/100km Fuel EconomyThen continued on the next day and made it back to Sydney.
Zero issues to report.
Day 3: Mods Start Threw away the awful universal super cheap auto floor mats, and put in my black JDM Roadster floor mats.
Will keep an eye out for good condition SE floor mats.
Put the clear indicators and reflectors on, should be everyones first mod haha.
The aerial extends with the radio and retracts when the car is off, however does not go all the way down as the lower sheath is bent and restricting the others from lowering fully. Don't care because 1.5m tall antennas make me very sad, so an angled stubby has been ordered.
Decided to spray it black until I can get the replacement in, now it nearly looks like its supposed to be like that.
Love it
