Well you 'intended' to buy the car, but they made you change your mind with their bullshit. An intent to buy isn't a promise to buy.

I never actually said I was going to buy it, just that I was interested and asked a boatload of questions. Every time they asked when I wanted to take delivery I evaded until I found out more.

And since you were dealing with them over e-mail, you've got that price in writing, right? They're the ones who won't honor the agreed upon price, so that's enough reason for you to walk away.

I'm not too worried, there's like 124 MS6's for sale within the continental US, I'm sure one of them will meet my requirements. Edit: The worst part of this, I have 18K burning a gigantic loving hole in my pocket. Must be strong, must be strong... Rhyno fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Mar 29, 2011 |

It begins it's journey to me today, so loving stoked. It does have two flaws, it has a dent in the left rear corner but the paint isn't cracked so I might be able to get it popped out. Besides that there's a scratch on the front. Clean Carfax, 26K miles. Paid $15K for it.

I might be able to get that scratch out depending on how deep it goes. What side of town do you live on?

While we are talking about Mazdas in Fort Wayne, I went and looked at this car with my buddy yesterday: http://imagecarsinc.com/newandusedcars/0/994702/f4038cac-2d8e-49db-a2a3-f555a5010181/none/2006-Mazda-MAZDA3-FortWayne-IN-46808.aspx He wanted me to help him look it over and I actually really like it. He has two kids and we are both homebrewers who haul a lot of gear and kegs around all the time. This is why I really recommended he go with the liftback style. He is also looking at a 6 tonight with the Mondeo V6, but I don't think he would use the power and would probably rather have the improved fuel economy of the 2.3 in the 3. My question is that when we were test driving the 3 I noticed when you turned on the headlights a strange humming noise came from the passenger side headlamp. It wasn't an idle up, the engine stayed the same and it was definitely coming from the headlamp assembly. Is this a bad sign? It was pretty loud and if that mean the unit is on it's way out he should be aware because I assume that isn't a super cheap fix.

What have you heard bad about image? They just got the car in and we saw the carfax, plus he isn't going to be using their financing. I do think they could come down a little on the price, that's about $500 over blue book and there is one scratch in addition to the headlight issue.

tonedef131 posted:Hmm, the Mazda3 does have that handy little compartment in the hatch that would perfectly hold bricks of Cocaine. I bet they used it for a drug run. You can probably find it in the Journal Gazette archives, they got busted a few years back, they have a "new owner" and they moved their lot to shake off the bad rep. Still the same people though.

The only dealership I've ever bought from was out in New Haven...BONECUTTER AUTO SALES "BECAUSE WE CUT PRICES TO THE BONE!"  Apparently I was the first car he ever sold, and he gave me a nasty look when I removed his dealership sticker off the car before even pulling out of the lot. Normally I avoid dealerships but I didn't much care in this case, the car was clean as hell and the price was right. My wife still drives it 3 years later and it's been great, I actually feel kinda bad because I traded in a total lemon of a 3rd Gen Prelude. I saw someone post on craigslist about how he was crook a few months later...I'm wondering if they bought the 'lude I had traded in.

I don't know what could really be wrong, those didn't have HID lights unless it has aftermarket ones installed. Maybe the bulb is just about to go out.

tonedef131 posted:Auburn road is pretty bad rear end and sorta deposits you in Devils Hollow which is also hilly/curvy. Although these can be dangerous because a lot of it is blind, especially this time of year because cyclists like it for the same reason motorists do. There is some nice stuff out off of Butler road too. Yeah those roads are fun as poo poo but theres always cyclists on them and like you said, blind corners. Yeah, I'll be going to that autocross. Are you? It'll my first autocross event in my own car and also my first autocross event ran by the FWSCCA. I hope the FWSCCA isn't just a bunch of doriftu people.

I've never driven in an autocross before but I've attended a few of them just as a spectator, but it's been a few years even since doing that. Most of the guys seemed pretty cool and there was a good variety of cars, but that could have all changed by now. I know one of my buddies is planning to run his NA miata if he can get his torsen put in by then. I have two other friends who I'm trying to talk into it, one in a MKIII Supra and one in a G35, but they both seem hesitant for some reason. Rhyno posted:I'm attending but not competing.

It already looks REALLY good with those wheels silver though (I love those wheels), so unless you're painting them yourself it might not be worth the cost to have it done. Also, you might want to consider that white wheels would total bitch to keep looking clean, and thats kind of a lot of spokes. Brake dusttt

And if the OEM pads on the MS6 are anything like those on the MS3, your pads will practically shed dust while your car is parked. They work great but generate insane amounts of dust. The Hawks I have now are great because they only lost a little initial bite but have almost no dust.
