Thinking about

I'm thinking about purchasing a MP3. What should I look out for when I'm inspecting this car? Anything that is specific to the 3g Proteges or even the MP3. (like rx7 vents cracking and stero surround cracking)

Thanks for the help to the newb.

just make sure it's an authentic MP3. I've heard of people being sold cars with an "mp3 package"....totally different deal.

The cd players are known for going out a lot. The suspension in the rear CLUNKS real bad when goping over speed bumps and what not. Tires may be bald on the inside due to mazda's real aggressive alignment specs. Other than that you should be good to go!.
