Hey folks. Just wanted to give a follow up.

GTA Fine Cars – No longer stocks Mazdas.

Goodfellows – when I contacted them by email they claimed that most of their inventory is from Ontario, but they do have some cars from Quebec. They also said that if I found a car that I liked that they could arrange to get it inspected by a Mazda dealer. When I got there I couldn't find a single car that wasn't in a wreck of some kind, that wasn't from Quebec, and they said that if I found a car that I liked that they would give me a temp tag so I could drive it to a Mazda dealership and arrange to have it inspected on my own time / cash. I passed on this one.

So now I'm back to square one and hoping that I might be able to find a deal from a private seller. I have been able to find some certified pre-owned from some of the dealerships in the area, but only at a couple thousand less than it would cost to get one brand new, so I really don't think that's worth it. If we end up not finding anything we may opt to go new, but if that's the case we may go with Ford as the Fiesta is a couple thousand cheaper than the 3.

If any of you folks know where I could find a good deal or know of anyone trying to sell a decent mazda 3 privately, please let me know.
