Need help with used M3
I was at a few Mazda dealers today looking around and I noticed that both dealers had a least 6 used 2004 3's on the lot. What's up with this? Why are so many people trading in this car. Are there alot of problems with this model? I really like the car but it is very strange to see so many used ones on the lots.

JEffro is most likely right....
when I worked at the dealership we would get all of these kids in and we'd basically hose them and put them in a car we KNEW they couldn't afford just so we'd make the sale. 2 months later the kid has to get rid of it so we get the car back, roll the negative equity into a pre-owned car that has MUCH more mark-up in it and make our maney back 3 fold....all the while looking like the good guy.
