at least you did not bend the car like last time

 

yeah.. seem to have the nack in attractin the sleepers on the road.. got sandwiched the last time.. the kids were in the back seats with me unfortunately this time around...

 

I still dont know why you dont lease them, at least if they are doomed or crap you just give them the keys back.



If you want to buy it- then you do and its the same money.

Or in the case of my last Mazda 6 lease- it would have been CHEAPER for me to buy it after leasing it then buy it when I got it new.



confusing huh!

 

ive been averagin 20k per year on mileage the last three years... leasin wouldnt work for me..



after several weeks of bickerin... mostly from my failure to produce oil purchase receipts...

mazda decided to honor my warranty on the turbo failure... from the body shop and dealership.. been without the speed the last month..

 

you can take a higher mileage lease, like I said once you know the car is good then you know to buy it, if its doomed give it back

 

Wow. It seems like there are quite a few issues with the speed6. Friend of my just had his transaxle fixed under a TSB. He brought the car into the dealership because he noticed there was oil on his garage floor where he parks his speed6. Turns out they replaced the transaxle for him? He wasn't clear on the details, and isn't that car savvy, just a crazy driver.



He also said if you drive through a high pressure touchless car wash the sunroof will leak water in.

 

If the sunroof is open maybe lol... I've never heard of anyone having issues like that. Maybe your buddy just got un limon.
