I found a really clean, low miles, and looks like unmolested MS3 here locally and I'm going to test drive it next weekend when I get back from my business trip. The suspension looked unmolested and there looked to be some recent work with new brakes and tires applied to the car.
So what are the trouble areas for the car? I know the engine mounts are suspect with all of the earlier C1 based Mazda 3's. Is there any other issues to look for on the test drive? I remember something about the fuel pump?
LEt me know as the price and mileage puts it into the range of something i'd look at.
