The car in question:

My buying parameters changed again, and this is looking like the hot ticket. Nationally competitive in H-Stock, and with a hatch, it can hold my 2 dogs. Yes, 2. We got a second dog. I need to start a whole new thread on that at some point. But the Mazda 3 seems to fit the bill quite nicely. I am just suprised that used versions held value so well.
This one in particular interests me, as it is the most stripped version, and has no sunroof (good for autocross weight, and good for less junk I don't need breaking). The plan would be to buy it, put on some Konis (allowed in Stock), get a second set of wheels with some nice R-Comps, and have some freakin fun for a change. Wife has signed off on this, so now its a matter of finding a good one.
