Just a word of advice. Make absolutely sure that you get an independent mechanic to look over the car carefully. Modded cars are a huge gamble, you may not know about some other more specialized mods. I was suckered into buying a mazdaspeed 6 from a Mazda dealer in north east GTA that I thought only had an intake. After I bought it I brought it to a Mazdaspeed specialist because it was audibly detonating at high rpm... Not only did he show me how the intake wasn't what the dealer said, he also showed me that the Downpipe was catless... Huge no no on a stock tune, what's more the check engine light LED was pulled from the gauge cluster... I thought buying from an actual Mazda dealer gave me some level of protection, it doesn't. Find someone with a good rep here on the forum to buy off of or get one that is certified!
