Thsnk you for your quick response. I was also caught off guard by that asking price and I am a little concerned. However it is a major dealership that has provided the CarFax for this vehicle. CarFax does not show any accidents or damage reported on the car. Regular mantinence,and such. 1 previous owner.

That's a good start. I would still look over it very carefully or pay for an inspection. Carfax is far from foolproof.

The 2007 was too suspicious for me when we went to see it. I have found a 2009 mazda5 Sport at another lot for 13,999.00 at 54000miles. Going to look it over tomorrow.

Where are you located and what color is the car? With that info, I can sometimes find the exact car that went through auction.
 
Anyway, a Silver one went through Minneapolis and got $11,200 a couple of weeks ago. So $13,999 is a pretty fair retail price. I might try for another $500 off or so.

#8 of 9 2007 Mazda 5 grand touring by kittybelle

I am considering buying a 2007 Mazda 5 grand touring with 71,582 miles from a mazda dealer. Should I buy an extended warranty? from the dealer or aftermarket? What should I check before buying? The car needs bodyshop minor repairs. I am concern about the timebelt, and a/c problems I have read about. The carfax report indicates it was a rental car and it had two owners.
A website indicates it is a fair deal because I am paying over market value about $740.00. Any suggestion as to how to calculate a fair value to pay the dealer.

1. I am not a fan of extended warranties but it is your choice.
2. Only main issues with Mazda5 are suspension gremlins but cant escape those, you just have to live with them and/or constantly replace shocks and bushings (not covered by extended warranties...btw)
3. No timing belt on MZR23 engine, its a chain.
4. How much are you paying?
