Friend is selling 2007 Mazda 3 Manual 220K miles for $900.
Brought it to 2 Mechanics, one said needs a new clutch, and besides that looks good. other said everything is fine, he put the new axle in yesterday.
Friend and his mechanic say I can drive it fine with current clutch. Replacing it with a top clutch would be $800, $500-600 with a decent clutch.
Rid in the car and it drives smooth. Just Need to learn manual.
Even if I replace the clutch (which I plan to), I’ll only be in around $1400-$1700, possibly up to $2000.
Only thing worrying me is the 220,000 miles.
Is 18 months of use reasonable to expect? Think 300k miles is reasonable if maintained properly ?
