Perform maintenance religiously every 5000 kms, load up with clean diesel, preferably Unioil (Euro 4) or Seaoil (Euro 3 + STP additives), and let the turbo "cool down" by idling for a couple of minutes before shutoff. And then again, the Focus employs the Bosch CRDi system if I'm not mistaken. It's known to be much more reliable than the finicky Japanese Denso units.

I also really doubt that you'd be able to find a Mazda 6 2.3 for just 320k. They're rare in the 2nd hand market, and have significantly higher resale than a Camry or Accord of similar vintage.
Thing is, I don't know how the previous owner used it. Which makes it risky to get a turbodiesel secondhand.

For Mazda 6s, I've seen 3 priced at 295k, 310k, and 328k. Very un-filipino to price it more than a Camry or Accord.
