I stated the dealer service because you are assured that there is a proper paper trail not that they are necessarily doing a better job than some owners. But... How many posts have we seen where somebody new to the whole self maintenance concept were denied warranty because they didn't keep records?
Also think how may guys that obviously don't have a clue what they are doing come here and ask about complex mods that they are going to do themselves? Yes, everybody has to start someplace but I sure as hell don't want to buy Billy Bob's learning experience turbo install.
Granny's Sunday driver would be a great choice for many young buyers and yes they do exist and probably in greater numbers than the people on this forum would ever like to admit.

A. No it's direct injected known for problems with carbon build up. Running engines hard keeps deposits away, Mazda designed their engines to keep the intake parts hot to reduce buildups. "Oh D4-S has port injectors nbd!"
It's a sports car dude, an Italian tune up won't hurt it, there's enough evidence to support it being a positive thing I certainly view 'minimal redlines' as a negative.
B. Dealership shot uncalled for from me, but not as relevant to the discussion at hand given it's a high mileage car close to being out of warranty unless a warranty agreement is in play, we don't know OP's prediliction to maintenance etc.
That was a bold faced attack on my personal beliefs! Reported!

C. Granny's Sunday driver is as big a risk as any other used car, don't bullshit otherwise. Nobody wants to buy Billy Bob's learning experience turbo install, but someone will. Right now Mav and Delicious are selling their cars that were tracked hard for good prices, I'd go take 'em for a test drive if I was in the market.
