Hmm, BG SP seats that wont match the rears, dodgy speaker mounting, and the rear guard is dented as well as the bumper. And due for a timing belt soon. Better off spending $4k on something in better condition IMO

I can only buy what I get from the insurance, which my estimate would be 3-3.5 as its market value insured.
Timing belt isn't hard to change. The car I've got needed a new rear bumper. The dodgy speakers, well I'd be putting something else in anyways. Well what about this then? http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...d=1290C69BB2F9 I'd be without a car for sometime, but would be possible to get only the extra 500 pretty quickly.

How hard is it to find extractors for the KF-ZE? I'm thinking about the V6, but seems like mods are a tad limited.
Might stick to the 1.8 :S

Easy to find extractors for the V6 - new on ebay they're under $250!
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mazda-MX6-For...item3cb1436f12 The V6 responds well to intake/exhaust/fuel mods, and don't forget you're starting from a quicker base to begin with.

i would've brought the car back from the insurer. those mods are worth more than the $700 you would've had to fork out to get it back.

Yeah, same thing in terms of external physicalities. Apparently they need a small adjustment to the u-bend at the bottom of the rear manifold, but that's pretty minor

So I have my eye on two V6 models.
Both stock as a rock. One is a series 1 ($3900), with the crappy interior but well looked after outside (not sure about the engine), and the other is a series 3 ($3500), well looked after engine (Lady owner, owned for 9 years, new clutch) and interior (grey!!!!!) but exterior need the clear on the roof and bonnet re-sprayed. Which would you choose if you were in my position. Both have the same amount of k's, and the series 3 has 3 months more rego. Prices are also well and truely neg says the owners.

have you got the links sly?
i would take the second one better off with a good engine than a good paint job if the engine blows then the car is worthless paints flaking then it only loses a bit of value please make sure you want a V6 tho as prices for everything go up running costs, repairs, insurence, rego if any engine work needs to be done its bas@#$% of a job have a read of my old thread before i got mine http://www.astinagt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16830 some good info on that |

Well insurance wouldn't be overload more, the rego wouldn't be as it's in the same weight class as the 1.8, only greenslip would be a tad more I guess.
Are the V6's that unreliable that I shouldn't get one? :S I'm confused now haha.
