Every speed I've seen for sale there is in terrible shape and has those rims on it.

But hey, who can beat a 2 year warranty...

2 year warranty is great and all, but only $1000 max per claim...
Been searching on items that can go wrong with the MS3 and most of the fixes are above the $1000 range, so you'd still have to shell out money, especially if the engine has issues

Why avoid it? I'm not interested in it, just very curious

[thanu31]

Yea whats the deal with it...please expand philll

[Aitch]

It's @Thrizzl3's old car.

[thanu31]

I know but I wanna know why its so bad lol

He's telling people to avoid it because of a combination of things that need to be fixed/replaced and the state he left it in after it was stocked out.

We had very little time to put it back to stock before trading it in so things were altered to fit parts from a gen 2 and broken parts were put in just to make it presentable for trade in. Things were also taken out during the process and weren't put back in because there wasn't enough time.

So it would be a good project car if someone bought it cheap enough lol...

[crasth]

So he just traded it in and said **** you to the next owner....

If you know about the car then you should have any issues with it.

I like how people came out from under their rocks to to put in their two cents. But whatever. I got most off the parts off the car except the intake and dp. There is no rear sway bar from when I traded it in but I have no idea if they put one in. The suspension is from a Mazda 3 so there really isn't any issues there..although it will need a new lower control arm on the driver side as well as an axle shaft. Oh and a minuscule exhaust leak at the manifold.

If you guys thought I destroyed it before I traded it in..I didn't so get that out of your head. I came to the conclusion that putting more money into it was not a smart financial decision.

Downpipe and intake on stock tune? Or did u leave the accessport. That could be a bad thing for the next owner

[Jenuine]

@crasth I didn't know that when you trade an old car in with a bunch of issues, you have to make sure it's in perfect condition for the next owner.

I just think its a crappy move...its ok if u wanna put the car back to stock to trade it in but doing so half way leaving some parts that might risk the engine? I mean thats not the most fair think to do is it...but thats just my opinion

How many of the speed 3's that are on the used car market are actually in perfect condition. I know mine had issues when I bought it but I'm not making a big deal out of it.

Who cares if it was put back to stock half way, 3/4 of the way or all the way. It's an '07 engine with almost 200,000 km on it...

And anyone who's buying a used car has to do their due diligence and get the car properly inspected, otherwise if the car turns out to have major issues after purchase, it's their fault and no one else's.

@Thrizzl3 was just giving tm3 the heads up to avoid the car so no one wastes their time.

Im sorry but im sure u and thrizzle know very well that a speed 3 with an intake and an upgraded downpipe without hpfp and/or a proper tune is just a ticking bomb... That car can go zzb anytime. Thats the only thing that caught my attention. Im sure the rsb and that is just minor things so that shouldnt be a major issue for the new owner.
