Not sure but I'm guessing you paid $2-3k, although it seems it could be worth more.

I would say it's pretty reliable to be honest, but you can disagree all you want. It has never had a problem in it's 150k miles, and according to two good mechanics it has absolutely wrong or going wrong. Basically all mazda parts. Runs ~7.5sec 0-60 and ~15.5sec 1/4 mile.

Hey Probes are awesome.

They are just as reliable as Mazda MX-6 ;)


They also are one very good handling car (which I'm sure you'll notice soon enough).

have fun wiht it.

LOL!!!! I think my 4Runner could do that job, while in low gear 4x4 mode with differentials locked.

So I was looking into an older 3 series, but my dad's friend was selling this probe to the dealer. My dad bought it only because he knew it ran perfectly (checked it out by his mechanic first). Only cost $1000 dollars. I'm pretty happy for my first car, and it has keyless entry which is the absolute most important feature of cars.

I think the most important feature for a car in Texas would be (AC) but you don't live in Texas ;)
