Hey guys I just bought the graphite grey evo x from oak lawn mazda, had 900 miles on it and was wondering if anyone knows the story behind this car? Previous owner had it for a month.
They told me that he came and traded it in for a 2011 white m3 his dad paid it for him but I don't know how realistic of a story that is, but they did show me the white m3 he got they still had it in their website inventory.

So I got the car, and the car had HID's put in, other than that it was bone stock. Second I pulled off the lot the left hid flickered and went out so I went right back and they said they'd order a brand new HID kit for me so that was cool.Later that night I noticed my headlights both were kind of fogged up, but today it went away..that seems like an issue that could re-appear though so I will bring it up to them when they change my hid's.

Also today I looked back and noticed the C-pillars werent clipped in all the way, both of them were sort of unclipped but I just pushed them right back in, that simply just seemed like the guys who detailed the car went really thoroughly and cleaned it lol because I didn't see those C-pillars unclipped when I test drove it.

Other than that car drives and runs like its new just those little issues and I just wanted to know if anyone knows why the guy actually got rid of it, tried to find his phone number off of carfax report but they didnt have it there :/

This is the car:

Too much for a used car, even with 900 miles. I payed a little less than that for my 11' new. See if it was manufactured after January 1st, as those got the better timing chain... something I'd pay a little more for myself.

Good luck!

 

Oh don't worry! haha I did NOT pay their asking price.

Manufactured on 6\18\2011 So that means I have this new timing chain? What are the benefits?

Thanks

If you do some searching on the other site, you can find out the details. I can't be 100% sure, but I think it had a tendency to stretch, and they replaced it with a revised one.

What kinda mods you got planned? Plan on tracking it any?

 

Well my last car was pretty, "modded up" so I'm actually looking to keep it stock for a while. I love the fact of having a warranty Plus to be honest I don't even want to change the exhaust, because the 2011's exhaust simply sounds awesome even stock!

i believe this is the same car i saw on craigslist. its a base model X i believe. HID's i believe are aftermarket

hope to see you around

 

Yes the HID's are the only aftermarket part on the car, and that left one went out so they have ordered me a whole new hid kit for monday which is tomorrow.

Hope to see you around too!

Update- headlights fixed and all good!

So far everything with the car is great...kind of hate shifting from 1 to 2 feels all notchy and grindy sometimes, heard its a problems with gear oil and common though its the 5 speed.

it is, couple of weeks ago i changed to the popular cocktail mix of redline 2 mtl and 1 mt -90 and sadly i ddint feel any difference. well actually there is i felt that it is worse than the OEM fluid.

 

I heard Amsoil or something like that was the stuff to use.
