Heh. Bought a 2010 Mazda 3 right off the lot for $16,000.   .  No cruise
control, no automatic windows, no motorized mirrors, no bluetooth phone
system, manual transmission, only a radio with a plug for external system.
I keep the oil changed and haven't had a lick of trouble with it.  Of
course, I take care not to, like,  drive it often.
