Im looking into a local one right now with about 75k miles on it for 3500. owner has papers showing oil changes all done at mazda and is the original owner. do you guys know of any problems with this car? i still think it looks great being that it is 9 years old. just wondering before i buy

I have a 94 Ls and its got more than 100K on it with only normal problems of wear. Do get the Jspec projector headlights for it if you get it.

I have an ls up for sale right now as well. It is a 94 with many mods already. Im asking 4000, which is an absolute steal for this car. Leather manual sunroof cruise everything... Take a look here:

i highly recommend getting a mx6! i had one before the mp3, and hope to get another one when this is paid for.
edit* btw, i had a red 93 ls, but no sunroof or spoiler.

i may get an auto, 3500 with only 73k miles on it. fully loaded. does the auto have less hp? i hope not. this one is even closer to me than the other. gold with leather interior

as long as it's a v6, then it has 164hp, auto or manual.

You can always get an engine swap for the KL-ZE. 200hp. Nice change.

the auto doesnt have less horsepower but, the top speed is less. I understand about not being able to test drive the car. That is a bitch when you lay that much money down for something and not even get to test drive it. I can assure you however if you were to test drive it you would take it on the spot;)
If need be we could meet half way or something and then you could try it out. it is up to you however. I say test drive a few in your area and then immaging the ride 30% better due to my suspension modifications. Get a feel for the car down there, and then if you decided you liked it, just immagine it with 8K of mods invested... it is a hard offer to refuse!
I got plent more pice if you are interesd as well.

azian can you post more pictures then? im a guy that likes the stock look, im not really into body kits and such, but if the ride is as great as you say i may still be sold on it. im also big on the interior, dont like ugly mods done to it, not saying you have ugly mods or anything. how much are you willing to sell for if it has to be shipped? just looking at these cars is making me want them more and mroe

It's good that the one you're looking at is a 94. Once OBD-II went into effect (starting with the 95s I believe), the LS motor didn't respond to mods as well as the OBD-I did.

The only interior painting or modding i have done are as follows:
Painted dash kit and pass. side air bag cover gunmetal to match wheels,
Removed carpet but replaced with new black floor mats.
Indiglo gauges
Autometer tachometer
Dvd system and stero system
Also a few small things, the cigarettle lighter cover is missing and the interior fuse box cover is missing. Both can be had at a junk yard for under 20 bux.
Leather seats are in pristine condition, but the rear one has some minor cracking in the center. Front two are in perfect condition however.
Here are soem more pics of my car. I will shoot some interior one later on today.

Both of the MX6s in the last pic look good. I think the Shogun kit or whatever the name is only looks good on the MX6 if the car has the right look for it. In other words, it looks great on some & just ok on others.
