I love the car. Good pick up, nice handling, rides as nice as my dad's cadillac. Plus, you gotta love the body-matched wheels and brand new sport tires.

i think they look horrible and with the WI winters it is just a matter of months before they start pealing

Those are just the stockers anyway. I'll be putting winter tires on them later and buying some 18/19" black Enkeis. And it's been in Wisconsin its whole life, so they probably would have started peeling by now.

A tad high for the age, but I only drive around 5k-10k a year, so even if it only goes up to 150k miles it'll last me through college and beyond.

Oh, and forgot to mention there should be a build log coming in the next month or so.

Ahura Mazda! Zoom-zoom! Over here the Mazda franchise went down the drain back in the late 1980's when a dealer "went big" and saw his tent of franchises collapse due to mismanagement. I've missed seeing them around as they used to be quite common back in the day. The 2000 cc 4-cylinder engine was solid as a rock back then.

Get a night dash pix up if you can. It looks like a pretty slick dash in the day! Hope it works out well for you

Well I'm getting some help from the parents. My grandpa died last summer and my mom got her inheritance about a month ago. Since I bought my last car on my own and am paying for school, paying my own rent, bills,etc, they decided to help me out. I'm only going to have to pay $7k back to the parents.

And a $10k loan would only be about $200 a month. I have good credit and my bills are only about $400 a month so I could handle that fairly easily.
