150k on the original engine? Make sure you get a compression test done.

If its a stick listen when shifting in the lower gears to hear if the differential mount is gone.

As usual, compression test by the local mazda dealership. After that make sure it boosts fine, handles good, no rust, no frame damage, all A arms & suspension pieces are there, check for rust in the spare tire compartment, etc..

expect the usual stuff - sticky sunroof, wipers work on medium only, etc..

a few pictures:
