    Default Looking for a Gen2 Mazda3 GT 2.5L

    Hello Guys,

    I was told that I can find people willing to sell good-condition cars here so I'm taking my shot. I am looking for a gen 2 (2010-2013) Mazda3 GT 2.5L with a manual transmission and a Hatchback. preferrably around 150K km and almost bone stock. anyone got any ideas?

    Might be a hard find, those 2.5Ls are pretty good and trouble free. I've had two high mileage ones. I wouldn't be turned away by a under 200K example

    Ya ..that 2.5L engine is a hot commodity in the MX5 community. Alot swapping out the 2.0L for the 2.5L

    So a person is offering me one 2010 Mazda3 GS 2.5L for almost 7K. I want to drop the price a bit. What is my best bet? Thanks

    thought you wanted a GT, i wouldn't settle for a GS. there are plenty of examples out there if your patient. 7k is a bit much i payed around 7k for my GS in 2015 with 150k on it. im personally not putting down 7 k for a 10 year old Mazda id get into gen 3 or a MS3

    Older thread so not sure if you're still looking but I've got a 2010 Mazda 3 GS 2.5L hatchback. I'll be posting it in the classifieds soon. Far from bone stock too. LOL.

    replying to the old thread, I got myself a 2011 Mazda 3 GS with 167K kms, 6 speed manual hatchback for $3800. car runs nice, rear shocks were shot so I replaced them with Koni's.
