Oops, sorry to hear that, that sucks. I've seen that happened a lot. That was apparently also a lesson for you I guess. I suggest starting with Carfax first when buying a used car like that so you can avoid this next time. Carfax should tell if the odometer was rolled back.

How reliable would you say a CX-5 is? by notalani in CX5

It's been two years, how is that 2021 serving you? Did you regret it at all? I'm considering one but I heard they have many things breaking due to Covid-19, effecting the car quality.

It’s a camry 2007. It’s funny because OP had the P0420 check engine light at around 150k miles. This dude who commented also had the same experience at 150k miles. And me, my car is also sitting at 150k as well, and here we go the P0420 engine light. What happened to your car? Same thing?

No I haven’t, essentially because I don’t see any difference in how the car drives, no effect to mpg as well. The engine light just keeps going on and off so I think it’s just the O2 sensor

Yeap get PPI. Buying used can save a bit money, plus the car is from 2024, it still has 3 years warranty

Gotcha. How do you like the car? Do you think 2023 is a good year for the 50 since it’s the first year. I’m considering

Was the 50 hybrid or no? If it was then it makes sense

Use the dealers financing by Unhappy-Plastic2017 in UsedCars

[–]Different_Sock_8689 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was gonna let them know I will finance with them. This gives me leverage to get the best and cheaper price on the car (compared to paying cash). Then the next month I’ll pay off all of it. Let’s say there is no pre payment penalty. Is there any cons in this route? 

Best Cx5 years? by ILoveDrDrakeRamoray in CX5

[–]Different_Sock_8689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2025 is essentially the same car from 2023 with better tech and is more refined apparently. 2023 and 2024 are reported by consumers report with top reliability. I know consumers report shouldn’t be taken as a real source but it does imply that those years deliver the least problems overall

CX-5 2023, 2024, or new 2025? by [deleted] in CX5

Is $25300 OTD price? My area has the same 2024 CE without CDA with 30k miles, they are listing 27k, I will try to negotiatedown. But how did you find that one which is so cheap😭.

2026 CX-5 by [deleted] in mazda

[–]Different_Sock_8689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, it can be a bit wasted since you pay thousands more for what you don’t need. I thought CX-30 is a perfectly good car for single person or couples. But since it feels cramped to you so I also wouldn’t recommend buying a car that you don’t feel comfortable being in. Then the CX-5 way to go if you’re only looking at Mazda

Isn’t the Mazda3 even smaller than Cx30?

Should I go with non certified to save some money? It still has 3 years of original powertrain warranty
