hello,
Much interested to buy Japan imported 2006 Mazda Axela - Hatchback 1.5 Litres - done 68000 kms for a price of $12500. Car drives well, however, when I brake in high speed it shivers a lot. Dealer is saying disc needs to be skimmed and wheelbalance needs to be done. Does the price sound alrite? should I know any issues with this car? What sort of mileage I can expect?
Planning to book for AA inspection.
Thanks for your time/advise in advance.
The Mazda Axela is a good choice and at 68,000km the mileage is not high and the price looks reasonable. It sounds like the brake rotors are warped and needs skimming or replacement. The Mazda Axela has a good reputation for reliability and should last for a lengthy time but that will also depend on how well the vehicle is and was maintained.
