Well I got a 1996 Creek Blue Mica with 106,000km 4 cylinder manual. Paid $8600 CDN. Paint is in mint condition, only thing is that the back seats are splitting at the seams, is this common? Is there a quick inexpensive fix? Anyone have back seat covers? So far I've shaken the s--- out of the car... yeah I know I don't know how to drive standard well... learning. The only work it needs is a valve cover gasket ($20 is the part cost) and a distributor O ring ($3 is the part cost)... but the Mazda dealer wanted $150 to do the whole job. I'm gonna try and do it myself which will cost me $23 from $150... wow.<P>

<P>I've got a few questions to ask.<P>What are these buttons for? <BR>

<BR>The two buttons in the left bottom corner? The one on the left has a LED and it doesn't turn on when you press the button. I tried to turn my lights on and push the buttons, and still nothing happens.<P>Everytime I open the door a beeping sounds goes off like I left my lights on type deal. There is a key broken off in the trunk lock... would that be what's making the cause of the beeping?? Could someone please tests this out for me... please, and thank you.<P>The rear defroster doesn't work. The LED light in the button doesn't turn on. Now it's a real pain the rear end especially at night cause it came with the back window tinted. SO, when it's all fogged up you can't see didly squat. What should I do to fix this... someone suggested checking the fuse. If it ain't that what is it?<P>Oh for laughs sake it also came with a free big a-- mosquito in the dome light on the passengers side.<BR>

<P>Please let me know what you think, and if you have any solutions to these problems. I feel once I get these things fixed I'll enjoy my first car much more. Did I get ripped off on the price?<P>JoN
