You might be losing your potential customer, but I could not stop writing when I see sb is going to buy a 2001 Mazda. I do not specialize in transmission of American cars but 90% of Mazda and Ford Taurus coming to my workshop had transmission problems. The cars looked good, not too old; they had much less than 100k miles but transmission gone bad. A new transmission has a one year warranty but there were customers having trouble with the transmission again and again ending up selling their car or even worse- trashing that piece of junk.
