I was in an accident last night; my poor mazda is totalled, luckily i walked away without a scratch.
So.. I'm just keeping an eye out for a first gen 3 or speed3
Anyone know where i can get a good deal on one or if they find one let me know please!
Going to the body shop after work today to see how bad the damage really is :(

Will post pics later.

My mom just brought home a 2010 mazda3 gs sedan for me to try out, i hate it hahaha

Ghost1 I was driving home last night, and my car hit black ice or something so i lost control of the car went head on into a light pole, pole fell on top of my car then rolled off then went right into a huge snow bank off of the road. pretty scary but I'm fine, just a bit bruised up.

Do some good research and don't be afraid to go to non-mazda dealerships.

Last Jan. i purchased my 06 Sport GT for $8800 at a Toyota dealership. They wanted an even 10,000, but i stuck to my price. Totally in mint condition.

Don't worry I understand! I will be depressed until I find out what will happen with my car. If its a write off, god I'll be a mess! I don't care what people say, you create a bond with your car, you become used to it and its sad to see it go! Or maybes its because I'm a girl, and you know they say we're more emotional :P but hopefully you can find one soon - lol a rebound car :P .. like a relationship
I found my car for a really good price on Kijiji, I found better deals with buying private from someone. I know its more risk, and harder in winter, but I just didn't have any good experiences at any of the dealerships.

damn..... cars pretty banged up. Glad you are ok though.

As for a new car. I would suggest you go for one from a fellow member or a private sale. Too many shady used car dealers these days. I speak from experience.

not sure what you prefer so Ill just leave this here:

and ya you arent going to find a decent speed3 for under 13k

i got it in September, but it being my first car, and i worked by butt off for it, i was basically in a relationship with it :P - damn pick up hit me pretty good :(
yeah autotraders great too! Just be cautious with the rust, make sure before you go to tell them to clean off the snow and everything so you can really see it (and possible or pre-existing rust), rather than you showing up and they have 5 ft of snow piled up on it. Sounds like common sense, but i swear half the cars i went to see in the fall, when i got there the car looked like it had gone off road'ing...
also look farther away too! i got a great deal on mine but it was an hour and a half away, most people don't want to drive all that way, so usually cars can be less expensive

For 10k you can get something really awesome, but I would get on it right away because as soon as your insurance cuts you a check you are on your own.

I said my final farewells to my car the other day. I cried... a lot. It really is heartbreaking.

But everything happens for a reason and you will find soemthing you like again. It will take time to move on, i'm still not happy and over it. Already picked up something new (to me). It will take some getting used to but once summer comes you will feel better :)

No no definitely not a girl thing... When my old Optra got towed away for the last time knowing it was a write off...I actually cried a bit... Was my first car and I loved it... Then I went to the place it was being stored for the adjusters to come take a look at so I could remove my aftermarket sound system... And leaving it knowing that was the last time I would ever see or touch it was very hard to bear... Call me crazy but I loved that car... And I feel that way or even stronger for my Mazda...because this time I have paid for everything myself and chose it and got financed for it.

I would be careful about setting yourself up with a new vehicle right away. Keep in mind you just had an at-fault loss and with your age, you're not old enough to have had an accident waiver. Your insurance rates are going to go up a lot when your policy renews. If you're buying a car that's new enough to need full coverage on it, you're going to have to pay quite a bit to keep your car on the road.

If you're curious as to what you'll be paying, send me a PM and I can give you some numbers.

This is true I but it isn't too astronomical. If you need a car for a job I wouldn't worry too much. Especially if this is your first accident.

I am 24 turning 25 in April, and I have had 3 accidents (1 at fault, 1 not at fault write off, and 1 that I am not really sure who is at fault...probably I was as the cop gave me a careless driving ticket to appease the woman who was bitching about me hitting her brand new car...but he told me to fight it because he wouldn't show up. He thought it was just the weather conditions)

after your first it shouldn't be too bad. But for sure talk to Cloudpump about some numbers he will for sure be able to give you a good idea.

I would be careful about setting yourself up with a new vehicle right away. Keep in mind you just had an at-fault loss and with your age, you're not old enough to have had an accident waiver. Your insurance rates are going to go up a lot when your policy renews. If you're buying a car that's new enough to need full coverage on it, you're going to have to pay quite a bit to keep your car on the road.

If you're curious as to what you'll be paying, send me a PM and I can give you some numbers.

I have no choice, I have no car to get to work or anywhere else,
my mom is guna need her car back sooner than later & I appreciate her letting me borrow hers..
This is my second accident with this car (first was not my fault)

but yeah i'll send a pm your way! :)

Most people I know like the sedan more. I definitely did. Stock wise, hatches are weirdly modeled, but after some low and lip they can look hella different.

no no, it is a stock mazda colour but it isn't very common, I think we have maybe 2 or 3 on the forum and I have only ever seen my colour on other 3s like 5 times ever, and ironically on a mazda 5 that a guy I work with owns,

It isn't the typical blue like the ones I posted here

Sorry to hear about the Mazda :(. But like everyone has said at least your alright even if the car is a total loss. Reminds me of when I got into an accident with mine and then got a rental 3 and I wrote it off going into the ditch. I remember thinking it coulda been my car. But then again I'd break out in tears if I wrote mine off (coming up on 7 years of owning it) but also be aware of insurance. After I had my accidents I was paying about 603 a month. And that GT will cost you more then a GS will unfortunately. But good luck and in Guelph there are alooot of used car dealerships. Check out Mark Wilson's. Always hear good things about them.

lol I try, I understand her need to get a car quick and since it is a rush she can't fully check everything on her own...If something happened to my car and I needed a new one, I would be desperate to find a new one quickly too. Never hurts to have someone else looking through different channels than you!

I would also be quite picky if something happened to mine. Because nothing would quite live up to it. (accept maybe a speed3 or a WRX :P)
