Hi everyone, this is my very first post on TM3 and I figured where better to get some purchasing advice!
I'm currently looking to buy my first car and I've grown pretty attached to the Mazda 3. My dad will be involved in the whole process and he likes the idea of getting a CPO car from a dealer as it seems like an easier/safer route.
I've been looking at the cars at Westowne a lot since they are very close to me and here are 3 that have caught my eye:
2009 Mazda 3 GX w/ comfort, CPO, 59000km, ex daily rental, $11,500 (http://www.westowne.com/en/usedcars/listing/details.spy?id=4810322)
2009 Mazda 3 GS Sport, CPO, 76000km, $13,400 (http://www.westowne.com/en/usedcars/listing/details.spy?id=4717126)
2010 Mazda 3 GX, CPO, 48000km, ex daily rental, new tires & brakes, $13,300 (http://www.westowne.com/en/usedcars/listing/details.spy?id=4784667)(better that the tires and brakes have been replaced?)
In comparison, Budds Mazda has a 2011 Mazda 3 GX, also CPO, with 45000km for $12,899 and no mention of problems or it being a rental. Why do the prices vary so much?
I've also found a 2010 Kia Forte with 20000km for about $12000 with all the bells and whistles which could be a contender once I get more info on it.
Sorry for the long post but I would love any advice/suggestions!
