This Is An Update To A Previous Question
Question: Hi! Thanks for your time.
Year: 2005-2008
Make: Mazda
Model Mazda3 i Sport 2.0L w/ Automatic Transmission
Mileage: less than 30,000
Zip: 18011
Actually I could go either way. I believe 5dr only comes with 2.3L engine while 4dr comes with both 2.0 and 2.3.
I had a quick glance at local used Mazda3, and it sounds like both 4 and 5dr versions are probably within our ball game, as long as they are few years old.
Queen of the Road: Hi there! Below is each year with both 4D and 5D figures. I set the 2005 and 2007 mileage at 30,000 so you’ll know the maximum price you should pay. Once you find a specific Mazda3, then just let us know the exact mileage and we’ll narrow the price down for you.
