    Help with buying used Mazdaspeed 3 Gen 2

    Agree. I have a good feeling about it. Those guys know where they are talking too, which is of a great value to me with those "sensitive" cars. Keep you updated after I went there next Saturday!

    Thanks guys. Appreciate all the thoughts and tips. Things happened today again. So, after I was welcomed at the Dutch MPS (Mazdaspeed 3) Owners Club and invited to the guy from the community that is "The MPS Mechanic", today I visited him at his workshop and gave me tons of information.

    It says consigment indeed, but the story behind that is that he selling it for his son. So he says. I asked him now for photos of the engine. I'll post them once I have them! I'll definitely do a compression/leakdown test if it comes that far.

    So, As you guys maybe already read in my introduction post: I have been riding motorcycles since I was 18 and never cared so much for cars. Until now. Figured it can be handy every now and then. But if I want a car, it has to be a cool one. So I decided to go for the Mazdaspeed 3. Gen 2. I...

    KTM rider switches to cars

    Hi all, The name is Stephan and I'm from Holland. 36 years old now and been riding motorcycles since I was 18. Never cared so much for cars, until now. I'm doing everything by motorcycle, even with snow and rain. But now I decided that a car every now and then can be quite convenient. Maybe...
