The Mazda6 is sportier than other mid-size sedans, both in its appearance and in its handling and driving dynamics. It's more agile and holds the road better than the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, or Nissan Altima. It's lighter on its feet and stops quicker, too. In short, it's a better driver's car. It's also the best sedan for the money that Mazda has ever built. It's available with four-cylinder and V6 engines, and each offers strong sports appeal. V6-powered models feature the sophistication of a six-speed automatic transmission. A five-door hatchback and a Sport Wagon were added to the Mazda6 line last year. The five-door model is the only mid-size hatchback sold in America, says Mazda, and it's perfect for active singles and young couples. For its part, the wagon provides even more cargo-hauling versatility while maintaining the 6's sporty demeanor. It is, indeed a sport wagon. The Mazda 6, or Mazda6 as the company calls it, debuted as a 2003 model to widespread acclaim and multiple awards. Money Magazine named it "Best Mid-Sized Sedan," and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety called it a "Best Pick." The Mazda6 ranked among Car and Driver's "10 Best" cars and Automobile Magazine's "All-Stars." And it was the highest-rated new vehicle nameplate in the J.D. Power and Associates APEAL study. For 2005, Mazda made ABS and traction control standard on all Mazda6 models. Side-impact and side-curtain airbags are standard on all but the base sedan, where they are optional. Sirius Satellite Radio can be added to any Mazda6. New Sport and Grand Touring trim levels widen the appeal of the Mazda6 by making available features buyers want at affordable prices.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2005 Mazda Mazda6, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2005 Mazda Mazda6 for less money than when it was new. If the 2005 Mazda Mazda6 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2005 Mazda Mazda6 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2005 Mazda Mazda6 will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2005 Mazda Mazda6 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
