add manual seat adjust, a busted seat motor is very annoying, my Mrs 2012 2.0L Mazda has no power seat adjusters, must be weight, dang thing flies

to the PO, low mileage for a city vehicle can be same engine wear as a high mileage country vehicle, idling at traffic lights etc..bargaining reply to dealer?

They may be doing him a favor then. I would bet that the thing has been run with antifreeze in the oil and has a lot more engine wear than the odo reads.

No idea where you’re located but here’s a 99 2 door manual it’s priced high but it looks pretty clean

Walk away. 2000 thats had a head gasket and water pump job? Pin is pulled.

@PatHenry. No worries man, people can swap clusters all they want. Mileage is stored in the computer, not the cluster.
