    Planning to buy my first car, was able to save enough money para sa dalawang to. Ano kayang mas magandang kunin? If you were me.

    Altis 2016 - less than 50k odo
    Mazda 3 2017 - less than 70k odo

    Both casa maintained. Will appreciate your inputs. Thanks!

    A used mazda costs the same as a corolla now? What are the prices of the prospects?

    500k-ish. For me, M3 is a steal. But the 70T odo bothers me.

    don't worry about the 70,000 my car has almost 4x that distance.

    ask the seller if the mazda3 has followed that mazda free oil change service, ask for records, if so that 70,000 is just a number.

    Numbers don't mean anything without context. You can try to ask where the owner lives and works to see his daily route. If it's mostly city, the 70k is a lot but if driven a lot on highways, 70k is nothing.

    If you're still not comfortable, there's bound to be more units out there, it's a buyers market for new and used cars this year.

    Mazda 3, pero dapat 2.0. Di sulit yung 1.5 kung used car, since mas mahal lang konti yung 2.0 but a much much better car overall.

    Thanks sa lahat ng inputs, sobrang sulit. Newly replaced batt and tires, newly registered and mainte.

    Been lurking around for weeks, worth it ang paghihintay.

    does it really extend battery life for the mazdas in general?

    also kuya might be living in a condo, baka hindi magamit. sa condo parking namin wala outlet.

    i don't know.
    but a battery charger is a good idea if one's car is an automatic.

    pag namatayan ng battery sa condo parking lot, there are two choices:
    1. call the battery delivery service. umaakyat sila ng condo and other paid parking lots.
    2. carry the battery out into the flat, for re-charging. have a cariton available for the battery.

    doc

    first time car owner, he needs to know what to disconnect first(grnd) and is the battery holding bracket even accessible with the supplied 10mm wrench? I think that 10mm wrench is just for removing the ground todo a circuit reset.

    Extends batt life in general, not just Mazdas. Those in condos probably can't.
