History on the car:
I had asked my dad to purchase the car for me in summer of 2008. I had NEVER seen the car, only in pictures, but I had a good feeling about it and it had everything that I wanted (minus the airbags). Here are some quick stats on the car when I got it:
222,XXX KMS
No aftermarket mods, just an alarm
I am the 2nd owner of the car
A/C
Full power package
Sunroof
Here are pics of the car that I received from the original owner, the pics sold me on the car and then my dad picked up the car while I was away on business in the Philippines. I purchased the car for 2500$ CAD which is fair considering the condition:

When I got back from the Philippines I had 2 MX-3's at my house! So strange haha. I had my black ZE mx and the stock K8 silver car. Funny thing was that I drove the silver car more then the black one just cause it drove quieter, nicer and had A/C!! It was so pleasant to have that. I was very impressed with the car, my dad bought this huge cabinet from Walmart and he could not fit it in the 4 door accord he had! So I drove home and grabbed the silver MX and picked up the cabinet and it fit! I could close the hatch and everything, what a great car. My black car would not work as I had a rear strut bar and a system. So need less to say, the car was off to a good start to gaining a place in my heart.
Next mod was to sell the black car and mod the silver car, I ended up swapping a crap load of parts over from the black car. I will show pics and list mods later today. Please feel free to comment and give me some suggestions! Please keep it clean and negative comments to yourself
