MX-6 questions

Hi people

Firstly, I know this is a miata group, in the UK it's an MX-5. But there are
no other Mazda groups to ask in.

I'm looking to pick up an MX-6, there are reasonably priced these days and
you get a whole lot of car for the money. I've been mainly looking at a
1994, in immaculate condition, the paintwork is almost new, apart from a few
minor stonechips, the interior is immaculate and it's got a full Mazda
dealer service history. It's got 93000 miles on the clock, and seems like a
really nice car. The 2.5lt V6 sounds great and it runs smooth. I was unable
to find a single spot of rust on it, the owner has had it for 10yrs and kept
it in a garage and it was always hand washed and polished.

I'm going back for another look and wondered if there are any points I
should pay attention to. Any particular places to check for the beginnings
of rust, wear and tear. I checked and the timing belt was done at the 60000
major service.

Would appreciate any pointers on what to check.
Cheers

I like them pretty well, for some reason they don't have a great reputation
for reliability / durability. This works to your advantage (if you can get a
good example) on the pricing end.

Good luck but keep in mind the devaluation goes on unabaited while you own
the car. I've gone that route several times, problem has been that the car
is all too soon, worth somewhere between little and nothing. Bottom line is
you've got to look at the average net cost to you over the time you own the
car.
