Contemplating buying a 2007 mazda3. 5speed Auto with the 2.3ltr engine (i think its a s touring edition). It has just under 60k miles. Dealer is asking 9k.
The price inst the issue, although i think it is a tad on the high side, but it does have slightly lower mileage. My issue is the recent service is it, dealership informed me that the Trans Controle Module had to be replaced. I'ts my understanding that a lot of people replace this prior to pulling the trans for rebuild in hopes to solve the shifting problem. Also note that the place is a Chevy Dealer, they sent the car to a Mazda dealership for the service.
Stay away? What do you think?
