My wife wants to sell her Hyundai Sonata and get an SUV. We looked at several different ones at one of those "blowout sales" at the local fairgrounds. We weren't happy with what we saw, so I suggested we might as well go check out the Mazda dealership, because I was happy with the service when I test drove the Mazda 6 (just for fun while picking up some gaskets). It turns out that she liked the Tribute better than most other SUVs, especially for the price. She said, "it's got getup," and it's supposed to handle well. It is the owner's demo car, and has like 2,200 miles on it, so the price is reduced several grand. It's got leather, big sunroof, CD (standard), power everything (standard), and what I love is that the back seats actually recline. It would be great if this worked out, though may be a strain on my wallet (still got motorcycle loan). Stay tuned for details. :bigok:

just make sure it has a warranty and you're good to go.

I think we have the option of getting a bumper-to-bumper limited 36 month warranty



at least that's what I read in the brochure

yah get that. theres a check engine light that turns on everytime you need to change the oil



mike

good to know...hopefully it won't cost much



the sales guy said, "are going to trade in the rx-7 as well?" yeah, get $200 for my only car, a car I actually enjoy driving...I don't think so

I like the styling of its Ford brother a bit better, but thats just me



One of the car magazines just wrapped up a long term test on one

and had good things to say about it, so go for it!

The stock warranty on 2003's is 4 years 50,000 miles and it is transferrable.

aj09-18-211, aj09-15-350g and na01-27-165 are all you need to know :bigthumg:
