I bought a used 2004 Mazda 6 wagon about 6 months ago. I am really happy with everything except the mileage. I expected a little more than the 19-20 mpg I get. I guess it is a little more disappointing since the low rpm power is not great. I stick would probably help both issues.

The reason to own one of these, is they are the best kept secret on the road. Just bought a 2007 6 Sportswagon, and it is twice the car the Volvo V70 T5 I got rid of in terms of everything you could think of, for half the price

I can get a 2005 automatic for $14K, and they have 5 of them at this dealer. My concerns: Why are they so cheap? Depreciated $10K in two years?
 
May not have depreciated as much as you think, since they were probably being sold with big rebates and discounts two years ago, just as they are now.
 
New leftover 2006 Mazda6 wagons appear to be advertised at $16,500 around here. A dealer here (WI) has an ad saying they have 30 of them. With $2000 in rebates available, even a new 2007 Value Edition could be bought for $21,000 and probably even less.
 
You do have to get the V6 in the Wagon, if you want the 4 cyl you could get the hatchback, though.

Can you provide more info about this dealer? I'm looking for the base 06 wagon and can't find any in my area.

It was Russ Darrow in Milwaukee, WI.
 
From the inventory search on mazdausa.com (you might try a search on there in your area, too) looks like there is one base '06 with manual and another dealer in my area (Amato) has a base '06 with automatic.

We have an 05 auto wagon with 12,000 miles on it. We get 21-22 mpg around town, and 27-29 mpg highway. Ours has the 6 speed transmission. We traded in a Sienna van for it, and are very happy.

I bought an '04 (in August '04), have put 30K+ miles on it, and have loved every minute of driving it. The handling is superb, it's comfortable, and yes, there are few on the road. It still turns heads and gets comments. I'd buy another if they still make them when this one wears out. The mileage isn't great (manual trans), but I'm a bit of a lead foot ... and it's the car's fault.

Sorry jpd52, I've been away for a while. If you're still around here's my answer to your question...
 
Until last fall, I was using Mobil1 5W-20 which is full synthetic. Last oil change in November, I put in Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20, which is also full synthetic. Prior to that, only Mobil1 5W-20 was sold by the case in my area, so when the Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 cases appeared for less money, I switched.
 
I change both oil and filter at about 6mo/7000mi.
 
Hopefully your car's mileage will increase slightly with age, mine did.

Thanks for the reply. I am behind your footsteps in terms
 of oil and mileage. I will be putting in Amsoil 5W-20 from here on in, and in fact my mileage has gone up to about 25 mpg general driving.
Thanks
