Not most. I checked out about half a dozen 3s before I found one that met my threshold. Others either had tampered odometers, worn out interiors, rough engines, and so on. It takes a bit of patience to find a good unit, but the effort is worth it.
I didn't say anything about Mazdas not being cheap (the 3's poor resale value is what made me choose it over other similar vehicles). I was just commenting on your statement that you should only buy secondhand cars from a personal acquaintance.

My advice is if you're not really sold sa unit and don't feel comfortable then walk away. Hanap na Lange ng iba. Don't get pressured na mabili agad yun unit.

^I agree. As with any purchase, buying on impulse usually leads to regret. This is especially true for secondhand purchases (not just cars, but especially cars since they're complicated machines with a lot of things that can go wrong).

bring the mechanic to the car, before you buy it and not after. pay him well, as he may just save you headaches and wallet aches.
and, as a tsikoteer said, "if you think (mechanics') knowledge is expensive... you should try ignorance!"Last edited by dr. d; February 2nd, 2016 at 01:27 AM.
