Hi Scotty & Friends!
Since I'll likely never be able to afford a Toyota Sienna or even a Honda Odyssey, I'm looking at this 2015 Mazda MAZDA5 Sport mini minivan. (It's almost as though the Mazda GLC I had back in the day grew up.) Information on the specific vehicle I'm interested in is as follows:
2015 Mazda MAZDA5 Sport mini minivan
List price $8595 (Dealership)
FWD, 2.5L 4 cyl. engine with automatic tranny (I'd prefer manual, but those are few and far between.)
127k miles
VIN JM1CW2BL8F0183493
Since I can run a scan with my Blue Driver, should I still have it checked by a real mechanic? Any advice --the good, the bad, and the ugly-- on the vehicle will be greatly appreciated. And, if the pros outweigh the cons, what do you think would be a reasonable offer for me to make?
TIA.

Oh definitely have a check by a good mechanic like me. They can be decent vehicles. They're nothing as well made as the Toyota's but they're a lot cheaper. But you do have to check it out with a pro mechanic
Thanks, Scotty! If it checks out, I really don't know what's reasonable to offer. It's at a dealership, so three's got to be wiggle room in that list price.
