hello

Hi all,

Just joined, looking for a FC..

found one however the seller said it needs ignition barrel and driver side handle replaced..sounds like a bit of a dodge...

if other things checks out...is it much hassle to change it?

Not that big a deal to change, but it sounds like the car was stolen at some point. Best to run the VIN with the police and make sure that it is not currently stolen.

the guy did say he had a accident where the key snapped in the ignition..so i guess if i still see half the key still stuck in there then its kinda legit...

I doubt those are the only things wrong with the car... but if that honestly is the case then those aren't big deals at all.

A brand new ignition is about 300 bucks from the dealership. Or you can do a junk yard run. Make sure you grab the VIN off the car you take the ignition from, so you can call Mazda and pay them 8 bucks to make you a key for it.
